OWNERS SUBMIT TO PLAN
Premier Assumes Full Respon-
sibility for Economic Ex-

New Laws VIII Not Be Made
Until Plan Tried.

Rome. Sept. 2o.-Italy prepared
herself further today for an expert
ment in economics by granting labor
of factories.
With a decree issued for a commits
sion of working men. employers and
technical experts to draft a control
of industries bill. a movement to
evacuate factories seized by employees
was under way.
Haul Down Red Flags.
Conferences between employers
and employees in cities where plants
were taken were reported today to
the punishment of workers for crimes
committed while within the plants.
That was regarded as a minor matter,
and in Naples, Turin and Genoa, Red
flags were hauled down from factory
walls. Owners again took possession
of their property.
Representatives of working men
called on Premier Giolitti to urge that
parliament be convened at once to
enact the control bill. The request
was refused on the ground that the
commission first should meet and pre-
pare the measure.
Employers Submit to Plan.
Delegates OF Itallan employers in
formed Giolitti today they were un-
able to approve his formula for reach
ing a settlement of the controversy
with their workmen, but would sub
nit to it. The premier replied that
he would assume full responsibility
for imposing his plan, and later issued
a decree making formal announce
ment of his action.
Efforts were made earlier in the day
to reconcile opposing points of view
regarding the premier's plan. This
meeting adjourned and then delegates
of the employers and the workmen
held separate conferences. Most of
the time at the joint conference was
taken up with consideration of the
question of Diminishing workers.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. 20. = In
creased interest of boys in manual
training and a falling off of attend
ance of girls in the sewing classes,
have been noticed by local high school
instructors this school year, recently
started.
More than fifty boys are taking the

were 70 girls taking the course; last
year so and this year fewer than
fifty, Miss Maria Morris, instructor,
announced.
