ZIONIST FACTIONS
CONTINUE BATTLE
Judge Dannenbaum Elected
Chairman of Convention
Over Judge Mack.

CLEVELAND, June 5.-Predicted peace

organization failed to materialize at the
opening session of the twenty-fourth an
nual convention OF the American Zion
lists here to-day. when Judge Henry ].
Dannenbaum of Houston. Texas. was
elected chairman OF the convention over
Judge Julian w. Mack of Chicago, presi-
dent of the American Zionist Organiza-
tion.
Judge Dannenbaum received 1as OF
the PA votes cast.
The nominations brought forth a clash
between Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and
Judge Bernard A. Rosenblatt, both of
New York, which formed the feature of
the stormy session. When interrupted

Judge Mack, Dr. Chain Weizmann.
head of the World Zionist Organization,
and other speakers urged that there be
peace between the two factions.
Judge Mack declared he had hoped
for peace until the convention opened.
He recited how an intermediary had
read to him last Wednesday "what
purported to be a draft of a proposal"
which he said he was ready to indorse.
But the next day, in telegram. the
conditions had been changed, Judge
Mack said. One of these conditions
was that Jacob de Haas. secretary OF
the American Zionist organization. be
eliminated from office except as he may
bo elected, and that Felix Frankfurter
must not even be on the executive COM
mittee"
II rejected the proposal with these
notifications" Judge Mack added.

ton. followed Judge Mack. He was
greeted with ten minutes of cheering by

United States and Canada. This figure
is equal to any approached In pre-war
days. and proves that although the pop
ulation of Italy has grown to 1000. .00O
and Is greater than that of France, a
certain portion of her population will
perforce. for some years to come, be
obliged to seek their fortunes across the
water. A portion OF this emigration
| across the Atlantic Is undoubtedly due
to the general labor crisis Throughout;
Europe, and large numbers that would
probably have gone to France and Ger
many are constrained to go abroad be-
cause of the labor conditions In those
countries as well as in their own lands.
Although labor conditions and unem-
ployrs=-. are not yet so bad in Italy as
in the United States. England or France,
they are beginning to get serious. The
textile trade has just been hit rather
badly: stocks are accommodating In the
factories. the production is reduced to
half and sales are only a quarter of the
average pre-war amount.
In the metallurgical industries the
annual production of million tons OF
cast iron Is reduced to 100000 tons,
while the price has fallen from 500 lire
a ton to 1875. which, with the high wages
and cost of material. is less than cost
price. The chemicaln industry suffers
from German competition. while the In
creased wages in this branch have not
proved an incentive to better the general
position when the workers insist on
diminishing the output by AZ per cent.
Probably the worst injured industry
of all Is the automobile. due to the
high tax on automobiles. the tax on
gasolene-92 lire on 80 litres-and the
heavy duties abroad. In the Fiat works
1896 machines were awaiting sale when
the lockout was declared. Even the
electric industry. on which so much
money and care have been lavished In
recent years and which should be one
of the mainstays of Italy, Is seriously
affected. In the Lombard area the con-
sumption of electric power has decreased
by IL per cent, a high figure for the
richest and most prosperous industrial
area of the peninsula.
Actually there are in the Industrial
areas. 145.000 unemployed, while 100000
are working on short time. While these
figures are not so tremendous as those
of other countries they are sufficiently
significant in a country where the great
industries are Of only comparatively
recent date and not yet excessively de-
veloped.

During the day counsel for both
sides and Judge Bailey conferred in
an effort to arrive at some course of
procedure should the two defendants
be unable TO appear in court tomor-

Bowman and Kaiser if their illness
continued. In that event trial of the

legality of such action was questioned
in some quarters, however, as the 19
men had elected to be tried Jointly.

that he was ready to proceed with the
case "evep with one defendant" No
definite decision had been arrived at,

SOLDIER BONUS
BILL Held BACK
Chairman Penrose of Senate
Committee Decides to Wait
for Next Congress.
FEARS PR E S EN Mt RUSH
Republican Finance Leader Says
Law Must Be Given
Careful Study.
(Ry The Associated Press).

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. - Soldier
bonus legislation will be delayed by
the senate until the extra session of
congress, Chairman Penrose of the fl
nance committee said today in connec
ton with a statement by Senator Nc
Cumber, republican, North Dakota,
that he was preparing for the senate
and American people a detailed state
ment of costs of the relief measure.
Mr.. McCumber explained that he
was delving deeply into every phase o,
the proposed bonus so far as costs
were concerned, and expected to have
from army and navy sources sufficient
data to make an accurate estimate of
the costs. He added it was his inten-
tion to produce this information be-
fore adjournment. Mr.. Penrose inter
rupted to say that everyone under
stood that the actual legislation to
pay the bonus would not be attempted
until the next session.
1t would be handled properly if at
all, he said, and he feared the jam of
the last few days might destroy de-
serving features.
