Rome. Sept IA revolutionary
change in the operation Of industries
may result from seizure by Italian
workmen of manufacturing plants. it
was believed here today.
Premier Giolitti, following confer
ences with labor leaders and manufac-
turers, today announced GSSointne nt
Of a commission to prepare a bill for
the control of industries.
Members of the commission said it
was uncomfortable their task would be
merely to settle the present crisis. pre-
eipitated by metal workers who took
the plants from their owners. Deputy
Turati said parliament will enact a
law intended to quiet labor per-
manently by giving it a part in the
management of industries.
Intervention Is Threat.
Premier GiolittPs attitude at the
conference was that if the manufac-
turers and workers were unable to
come to an agreement the government
would intervene. Further conferences
were to be held in Milan. With 1000
Milan manufacturers adopting resolu-
tons asserting that a change in con-
troll of their plants would mean the
death of private enterprise, Giolitti
was expected to meet further opposi-
ton today.
Enrico Maletesta, anarchist leader,
ana chleI OF 40 per cent of the metal
workers concerned in plant seizures,
bitterly resented a government law,
He and his followers called on work
ers to retain the plants at all costs.
It was believed that Deputy Daragona,
representing the Confederation of
Labor, could persuade the men to
evacuate the plants before blood was
shed.
Deputy GaspaTotta declared in an
Interview at Milan that the metal
workers activities were a sign of a
great change in the times. Failure
of the experiment would mean a re-
turn to the old order" he said.
Strikers Win Victory.
Milan, Sept. 16.-Leaders of the
confederation OF labor and workers
generally seem to believe they have
won a great victory in the decision of
Premier Giolitti TO appoint a commits
sion to submit concrete proposals re-
specting participation by workmen in
the technical, financial and disci-
plinary management of factories which
was announced at Turin today.
This commission report will be
made the basis for a bill which will
embody many of the demands made

aroun the gate,
Waitin' with kiss fer me when evenin'
comes along;
An "What you goin to buy me2" is their
everlastin song!
Christmas times in Georgyl Pears to me
that they
Are in a powerful hurry for to mind you
o. the day;
Al II the old-time fellers that's lived so
mighty long
Didn't know the time o. Christmas 'thout
that everlastin' songl
~
But-thanls the lord. there's some one
in the homes aroun' us yit
To kiss us all fer Christmas SOS We never
kin forgitl tMSs
An thank the Lord fer little zones that
think the time is long
An make US young forever with the mu-
sic O. that song!
