Premier Gi0litti on resuming his

out Of his decision to appoint q
commission to devise q new indus
trial system which would give lab

try.
The premier's decision met with
outspoken disapproval from en-
ployers but there was q general
disposition to accept the scheme
rather than disrupt business by
permitting striking workers to 60 ON
holding and operating plants.
While the confederation of labor
enthusiastically supported the pre-
mier's plan Socialists we're dissatis-
fled. They feared q heading off Of
a Socialist scheme Of government.
The Italian press generally ap-
proved the premier's actibn. News

The Corriere d'Italia expressed
doubt that the confederation Of la
Dor could make metal workers evac-

Evacuation was one Of the demands
of manufacturers before they would
consider q control bill.

government" was the arraignment
of the Idea Nazionale for Gi0litti's
decision.
Milan and Turin manufacturers
believed there was small chance
for immediate adoption Of con-

Enroute to San Francisco, Sept.

Harding went to Minnesota, people
did think there was something in
Cox's statement that he was quite
ready to go out to the people, while
Harding majestically asked the
people to come to him. The plan Of

Mr.. Harding make q few speeches

to answer that criticism.
