Pro-Fiume Sentiment.

Since the troops under Gen. Caviglia
began their attack on Fiume demon
STATIONS in behalf Of D,Annunzio have
occurred in various parts of Italy. In
Rome. Turin. Milan, Genoa, Spezia
and Bologna crowds gathered and
manifested their partisanship for the
poet adventurer and their disapproval
Of the governments policy of his re-
preston, with such violence that the
police were summoned and some seri-
Gus encounters occurred. In Rome
shops were shut and blacarded, CLOSED
as a sign Of national mourning" At
Milan nationalists adopted resolutions
pledging an immediate uprising
against the government, which was
denounced as responsible for the
''crime perpetrated against Fiume"
These demonstrations will not, Of
course. check the governments pro-
gram Of enforcing the terms Of the
RapaIlo treaty. to which Italy is now
pledged. and a violation or reputation
Of which would undoubtedly bring on
war with Jugoslavia. Doubtless there
are many Italians who would like to
zee another war, especially with Jugo-
elavia, inasmuch as numerous men,
Nbers Of that new state were formerly
&emies under the Austrian dominion.
But Italy has no desire as a whole for
more warfare. This present domestic
reaction is probably q mixture Of in
temperate patriotism and radicalism.
THE Industrial revolt of some months
ago has left a bitter feeling that is
probably manifesttng itself now. with

son ever received the same general
acclaim. Public men Of both parties
and leading newspapers of both united
in pratsing his assessment Of the sit.
uation. and in urging action on Con.
gross. And since then Congress has
shown keen appreciation Of naval
needs. It should continue to do so.

The Defenses at Panama.

While the talk about disarmament
goes steadily and merrily on, let US
hope that the plans for strengthening
the defenses at Panama are perfected
and executed. The canal is the big
gest thing Of the kind in the bust
ness, not excepting even the Suez en-
tefprise. It is ours, and in our charge.
We are responsible for its safety and
operation, and we are operating it
successfully. Now that the war is
over and sea business is picking up,
the returns from the canal are in
creasing in amount and give promise Of
large proportions.
During his visit to the isthmus the
whole matter was explained to Mr..
Harding by those in charge of the
canal, and he returned home with full
understanding Of what in the opinion
Of experts is required. Presumably,
at the proper time he will lay his in
formation and views before Congress,
and ask for the necessary appropria-
lions. And presumably the appropria-
tions will be made.
In interesting himself at the out
set in the canal and its proper equip
ment, Mr.. Harding sensed popular
feeling. The American people truly
value that testimonial to their enter.
prise and to their appraisement of a
great world need. They want 1t to
do its work thoroughly, and to be safe
at all times. And they know now, bet
ter than ever before, of what is nee
essary to insure safety in a world
where upheayals come suddenly, and
work disasters beyond calculation on
the unprepared.

CAPITAL and Labor

The fight between the tailors and the
manufactures seems to have arrived
at us most acute period, and while the
workers DO not intend to accede to the
conditions imposed by the manufactur-
ers, the manufacturers are trying their
utmost to win the battle by employing
non union labor. thinking that they can
thus force the masses belonging to or
ganized labor to work on their terms.
1t seems as II the manufacturers, with
their proposals, had created the present
situation. not only on account Of the
present. but also because they wished
to strike a final blow at the labor
unions. who have imposed their condi-
tons in behalf of the working masses.
II this is so, the opinion and the stand
OF the manufacturers are most deplor-
able.
II reduction in wages were suggest
ed to improve Industrial conditions and
to lower the cost Of commodities. every
one would be willing to make some
sacrifices. but since this false Industrial
crisis fs caused merely to strike out the
resistance IN the working classes. it is
only natural and logical that there
should be a reaction and an ATTEMPT on
the part OF the workers to protect them
selves.
The state should intervene to con-
slider the aspects of the fight between
capital and labor. and that It should act
as a "go-between" to protect the work.
ers from the huge disadvantages they
are up AGAINST in their fight against
capital. The state should control the
Industries and should fix minimum and
maximum wages; should point out to
the workers the true economic situa-
ton, and should fix and influence rela-
tons between capital and labor.-n

Everybody has a badge in prominent

Everybody has a lot Of business on

Everybody has a place to see the big

Everybody's polishing silk hat bright

The Government Should End This.

President Wilson has asked Congress
to enact a law on the strength of which
every corporation desiring to do business
would have to obtain a concession from
the federal government. Surely. we
have had our fill Of the terrible exploita-
ton which has made itself felt by mil
lions of persons in America.
Court records show that in the last
two years fake corporations have robbed
not only foreigners: but also the native
born, OF over a billion dollars and this
sum is considered by many to be a very
conservative estimate.
1t Is not surprising, then. II Ameri-
cans who know the language Of the
country have allowed themselves to be
roped in for so large sum of money
the Polish workmen, who have neither
time nor ability to investigate corpo-
rations. and who are besides extremely
anxious to help Poland to build up her
commerce and industry. have been duped
also. since all the corporations appeal
ing to the Poles have worked on that
feeling Of sympathy for the rebuilding
Of Poland.
Should Congress favor the recon-
mendation of President Wilson, the
masses of workmen will breathe a sigh
| Of relief. and with them business insti-
tutions which are doing clean business
