UNREST OF PEOPLE
MENACES ITALY
Crime Wave Grows Fast As
=. Unemployment In
creaSeS.
Especial Cahle to The Washington Herald
and Chicago Tribune.)

Especial Cable to The washins ton Herald
and Chicago Tribune.)
ROME. Aug. 2o-Italy is con-
fronted with two difficult problems
which demand immediate and ener-
getic action on the part of the gov
eminent. The first and most dfff1-
cult one to solve is the rapid and
appalling increase of bloody deeds
and crimes perpetrated throughout
Italy both by Socialists and Fascist.
Several deaths and scores OF wound
ed have been reported in the space
of three days in battles which took
place in Viterbo, Treviso, Orte,
Florence, Padova, and other locali-
ties.
The other problem consists of the
number of the unemployed which is
becoming larger and larger owing
to the shutting down of more fac
tories of nearly every kind.
Bonomi's ministry, although it has
not yet presented its program to
the Parliament in order to receive
the approval of the deputies, Is
working hard at the solution of the
two problems in question.
Sig. Bonomi has already called a
meeting OF the Fascist and Social
list leaders and told them that they
must find a way of coming to a
truce otherwise he will use every
means at his disposal to subdue both
factions. 1t is understood that I'M
less a treaty Of peace between these
factions is arranged Immediately,
besides the police forces the gov
eminent may use the army in order
to put a stop to the conflict.
To remedy the unemployment sit
uation the government has author
ized the state treasury to set aside
4OO,OOO,OOO lire to begin a series of
public works in the different prov
inces Of Italy. In the south the
work will consist principally of
new roads and in the north the
money will be expended mostly for
the electrifieatton of railways.
