which you are conducting your con-
test. II has not society women alone
but apparently girls from all over
the country, who may not be as for
innate socially as others. However
there is no reason why society women
should not be American Beauties as
well as working girls. Some seem TO
think differently, but your publishing
of the pictures and tabulating the
votes seems adequate proof that
American society folk with their
patrician faces, well represent this
country And IL they do, we're proud

Der of the raids took place in saloons

place on Seventh Avenue, near gath
Street, and McKenna & McGinty's
saloon, No. 496 Eighth Avenue, in all
of which liquor was found.
With reports made upon less than
half Of the raids, IL was estimated at
l o'clock that more than $780, 900 worth
of liquor had been seized.
The bartender of one place visited
was SAID to have anticipated the raid.
His liquor stock was poured down
the sink before the raiders entered.
"Under the new plan inauguratcd
| with these raids, l expect to raid
every bootlegging Establishment in
| the city" said Mr.. Quigley. He
| stated that 200 search warrants
already had been secured and that al

U. 8. Firms Alarmed.

ROME, September 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Several American firms
having plants in Italy have become
alarmed over the situation here. and
it is declared they would prefer quit
ting business rather than have their
property seized by workmen. A large
amount of capital has been invested
IN these places. Their alarm is large
~ Que. IT Is said. to misuderstand-
ing of the Italian word "controllo. %
which, wrongly translated. has been
taken to mean control" Its real sig
nificance is, however, that the men
would be allowed to take part in the
technical. financial and disciplinary
Management of factories. =
American firms have declared they
have not wished to pass Judgment upon
the principle Of neutrality followed
by the Italian government in dealing
with the industrial situation, but they
have expressed the hope the American
government would not adopt the same
course when protection Of the property
OF its own citizens abroad was in
volved.

RADICALS Of ITALY
SPURN SETTLEMENT
OF FACTORY RULE
Country a Prey to Violence
and Robbery-ParIiament
Declared Incompetent.

ROME, September 29.-"We spit on
the agreement for joint control of
| factories!" say the anarchists through
the mouth of Errico Mataesta, one of
| their leaders. I'VE spit on it, too!"
repeat the bolshevist leaders, fearful
lest the anarchists replace them as
the chiefs in a violent revolution.
But the majority of the Italian
| metal workers consider joint control
a great victory. They have no
stomach for further strikes and have
so voted at their referendums. Only
In Rome, Leghorn and Turin, were
the workers for refusal which would
mean real revolution. Elsewhere q
moderate tendency has prevailed; the
| factories are being evacuated and the
historic lock in" has come to an end.
AS the metal workers are among
the most violent of the laboring pop
ulation of Italy, it is hardly likely
that other trades unions will perse-
we're against the advice of the con-
federation of labor. The red flag
still waves over the Tabanelli fac
tory in Ro. he. The workers are bitter
and depressed. They believe that
they have been betrayed by moderate
leaders who offer them cooperation
instead of expropria ton, which they
seem to have been offered by the boil
shevik.
Disxension Increases.
Premier Giolittis famous decree
legalizing joint control will not, they
say, protect them from being dis
charged for the flock in" or guarantee
their pay for the last three weeks
Dissension apparently has increased
within the factory. The men accuse
Premier Giolitti of fighting the labor
movement by temporizing. wearing
down the mems nerves and starving
them with fruitless waiting
But II the bolsheviks are dissatisfied
many of the owners are even more so.
The country. they say, is now a prey
to violence, robbery. earthquakes and
hoods and is without government,
With exchange falling daily, Italy,
they declare, will soon be bankrupt.
They feel that parliament is incom-
petent to deal with the situation and
some or them say that the only saliva
ton for the country is a military coup
Dictate. which, led by Lieut. Col
DAnnunzio. would rally all the con-
servative forces of the navy and a
large part of the army
Then parliament might be proroeued
and a temporary military dictatorship
established to restore order
This SO far is a mere threat and it |
is doubtful whether those making it |
desire or have the strength to accom- |
plish anything.
