When a good law is passed

much fault with il as possible
The prohibition law is one of
the best the United States has
ever enacted and yet many are
now trying To give it a black eye.
1t has not put n stop To all
drinking nor to illicit brewing OF
alcoholic drinks. neither do laws
against theft do away with all
stealing and dishonest dealings
In both cases they hold the mis-
demeanors down and also punish
the offenders.
What is needed in this coun
try is more people to give their
support to the upholding of law
and less croaking about what the
law does not do.

Workers Plan to
Control Industry
Hard Nut to Crack
By United Press.

by United Press.
Rome. (By Mail) .-Italy's hopes o
finding a panacea for all industrial
Ills by granting workmen the RICH
of exercising an auditory control 0
the industries in which they are EN-
ployed are little nearer being real
lied than when Premier Gioliati frs
advanced the idea.
Tie trouble is that the workmer
and the industrials cannot agree
upon the precise nature of the pill
to be swallowed. The pill that has
been ~concoctcd by the government
Is regarded as too big by the indus
trials to go down, while the work
men consider it too small to produce
the desired results.
Before the precise measure can be
formulated that will give satisfaction
to both sides and be finally enacted
into law, it Is very likely that Italy
Will witness one or two changes o.
government. The question gives ev.
cry indication of becoming the capi.
tai n in Italian internal politics
until it is settled.
Following the %nnouncemen Of
Giolitti last fall, at the time Italian
workmen were occupying factories
and endeavoring to Sovietize en-.
that he would introduce in parlia-
ment a bill granting workmen's con-
troll of the industries, a Joint CON
mission was appointed by him to
draw up the promised measure. The
commission was composed of both
industrial and workmen's represen.
~tatives.
In the end it was unable to agree
upon a joint measure and as a con.
sequence both sides turned in to
Gioliti a measure of it's own. From
these Giolitti had the members of
his cabinet draw up a single meas
ure embracing the best features o.
the two submitted by the commits
sion.
This in turn met with many objec.
lions from both sides and had to be
repeatedly modified. The bill as it
now stands before the Italian parlia-
ment provides that separate machin- |
cry for control shall lbe organized for |
e'even principal categories of in.
dustries. These are metal, textile. |
chemical, food production, leather.
electrical, building. printing and min
ing.

ment whose duty it will be to report
to the COMMISSION on a matters
over which it has ne control"
The bill provides regulations for
the employment; AMI discharge o..
workmen, che principal f-lture o!
which is that political and religious
opinions, as well as the question OF
unionism or non-unlonism are not to
be allowed consideration.
TO date the greatest objection OF
the industrials to the bill is on the
clause which gives the Workmen's
Control Commission the right to
name two or more delegates in every
establishment for the purpose Of
heeping the Cimmission informed on
the points over which it has control.
The bill is recognized to be the
most advanced step which any ma
ton has yet taken in an effort to
establish a new regime between CAPT
tai and labor.
