A speech by SigDor Dsragona. lA-
Dor leader and Socialist member OF
the Chamber Of Deputies. did much
to sway the delegates at the Milan
conference. He recently returned
from Russia and he declared he did
not believe that Communism would
flourish in Italy.
1t was after Signor Daragona's
speech that the labor leaders decided
not to attempt to spread Communism
beyond the metal factories. which are
already In the workers hands.
SEIZURE AN EXPERIMENT.
The Italian Labor Confederation has
decided to treat the seizure OF the
metal factories by the workers as an
experiment. They desire to see how
the soviet system turns out before
taking any steps toward its extension
to other branches or industry.
The decision OF the railwaymen not
to handle any troop trains made il

MINERS ARE SPLIT
ON STRIKE POLICY
Bitter WrangIe in Prospect.
District Heads Urge Men
To Go Back.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. Ia
The policies of the United Mine
Workers of America in dealing with
the anthracite strike will not be de-
.t,rmined without bitter ighting with
in the miners organization.
The general scale committee of the
districts which takes in union ofrici
ais in Districts l, Z, and .. will meet
at Hazleton this afternoon to consid-
er President Wilson's answer to the
union heads.
President Thomas Kennedy. of Dis
trict 7, and President Chris Golden. of
District 9, are prepared to take steps
to urge the men in their districts to
return to work.
While there Is keen disappointment
over the turn the anthracite situation
has taken, there Is hope that IL the
men speedily return to work and dis
play a willingness to abide by their
contract, President Wilson may be
prevailed upon to reopen the wage
case. This last hope will likely be
the ground on which the men in Dis
tricts !, 7, and 8 will be told to go
back to work. after which another
appeal will be made to the White
House.
Early reports today were that the
situation has improved in District I.
More men reported for work than last
week. Districts 7 and . remain COM
pletely tied up. Promises OF the in.
surgent element completely to tie up
the upper part of District 1 did not
materialize,

of 5000 men in the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, which has been on since
