74-Hour Strike Ends
In Italy, More threatened
Rxthe As,eeiuied Pfess

ROME, Dec. 16.-Italy's Com
munist labor boss threatened
more strikes in labor's contin-
uing campaign for higher pay
as workers returned to their
jobs today after the nations
third big general 24-hour walk
out this year.
The threat was voiced by
Giuseppe di Vittorio, head Of the
Red-led Italian General Con-
federation of Labor. He told a
workers rally in Genoa last night
that the strikes would continue
until we get a satisfactory re-
suit"
The 24-hour stoppage that
began at 6 am. yesterday
brought out an estimated 4 mil
lion workers. slowed industrial

to finance their relief program,
Harrison County got through
without having to sell bonds.
The country is a hilly coal
mining and farming area in the
Eastern section of Ohio. The
strip mine operation of the Han
nah Coal Co. is its major in
dustry, and this and other strip
mines in the area are rapidly
depicting the rich farmlands.
The county, with its economic
ups and downs, spent 1886, 1878
on various relief programs last
year. With the exception of a
few hundred dollars, the money
came from the State and Fed
eral Governments.
The dispute over the Federal
program has been building for
three years, but this is the first
time the State has threatened to
go to court to force Harrison
County to take part in the pro-
gram.
An abortive attempt was made
last June and July to bring
pressure on the county. Direct
relief money totaling $7,100 was
withheld from the county under
a yelled threat that there would
be no more trouble if the county
went along"
County Stands Pat.
But the money later was paid
when it became evident that the
county was not going to back
down.
Back in 1851, the then State
Attorney General T.. j. Duffy
issued a ruling that under the
law all counties had to take
part.
The first year the program
operated in 66 of the 88 coun-
ties. BY last year. 81 counties
were in, with Harrison County
the lone holdout.
One view here Is that if the
State feels it must force the
county to go along in the pro-
gram to operate it legally. then
it must have been operating IL
legally for three years.
Mr.. Mallernee and Mr.. Hen
derson last week attended a
State wide annual meeting of
county commissioners at Colum-
bus. Commissioners from some
of the larger counties, such as
Cuyahoga. which includes Cleve-
land, and Hamilton, which in
cludes Cincinnati, express d
concern about the attitude of
Harrison County. If the Federal
Government withholds funds,
the larger counties will lose
much more than Harrison
County.
For example, Cuyahoga County
gets about $750.000 year under
the program, and Hamilton
County gets about 100000.
"If they need the money, let
them go along with the pro-
gram" Mr.. Mallernee said. 1--WE
Just don't need it,"
