Rome, Aug. 7. Military rule has
been extended to the provinces of
Ancona, Parma and Leghorn, where
in the last few days there has been
sanguinary fighting between the ex
treme nationalists ' and the com
munists. Pope Pius has expressed deep dis
tress at the increasing hatred be
tween the opposing factions which
moves the people "further away from
the teaching of the divine master."
The only remedy, he said, is a re
turn to religion. The ordained
clergy will be instructed to "im
press the faithful with the necessity
to pray for the restoration of faith
and piety which alone can bring
peace and love among men."
Smoot Blocks Inquiry .
on Sugar Deal Charges
Washington, Aug. 7.-Denying
charges that he had proposed cur
tailment of the Cuban sugar crop to
2,500,000 tons this year in return for
a reduced tariff on sugar, Senator
Smoot, republican,' Utah, read today
to the senate a statement from the
president of Cuba" that no proposal
for limitation of the crop had come
from American government officials.
Washington, Aug. 7. Efforts to
bring up the Harrison resolution, pro
posing an investigation of charges
that American government officials
sought to have Cuban sugar produc
ers curtail their crop this year in
return for a reduced tariff on sugar,
were blocked today in the senate by
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah.
Senator Harrison asked unanimous
consent to call up the resolution, but
Senator Smoot objected and then
Senator Nicholson, republican, Colo
rado, made a motion that the sugar
schedule be laid aside until there had
been an investigation. A point of
order by Senator Smoot that this
motion was out of order was upheld
by Senator Cummins, republican,
Iowa, who was presiding.
Senator Nicholson declared that
"very serious charges" had been
made in articles read to the Senate
Saturday by. Senator Harrison and
that he felt the senate should not
proceed with the consideration of the
sugar schedule until there had been
an investigation.
Senator Smoot said he wanted the
senate and the country to know that
"this propaganda that has been
spread from one end of the country
to the other is a continuation of the
fight against domestic sugar produc
crs by the sugar refiners." j

Text of Harding's Latest Plan
to Settle Strike of Railway Men
Washington. Auor. 7. (Bv A. P.
Following is the text of President
Harding s proposal to end railway
strike, as sent to H. Ri. Jewell ot the
shopmen's union and T. Dewitt Cuy
ler, chairman of the Association of
Kailway executives:
Telegram to Jewell
"I had your communication in
which you and your associates,
speaking for the striking railway
shopmen, pledged your agreement
to the proposals which I submitted
to the railway executives and your
organizations for the settlement of
the pending railroad strike. Inasmuch
as I was acting as a voluntary medi
ator, seeking the earliest possible
settlement, I confess to you the same
disappointment which I have con
veyed to the executives that the
terms were not unanimously accept
ed. As you are already aware, the
executives of the carriers declared
their inability to restore seniority
rights unimpaired.
It is exceedingly gratifying, how
ever, that in responding to the terms
which were proposed that both the
spokesmen for the carriers and the
pokesmcn for the mployes have
pldged that they 'will recognize the
validity of all decisions by the rail
road labor board and to faithfully
carry out such decisions as contem
plated by law.
Paragraph Approved.
"Moreover spokesmen for the car
riers and employes have approved
the second aragraoh of the roosal
and in their approval have asreed
that 'railroad labor board decisions
which have been involved in the.
strike may be taken, in the exercise
of recognized rights, by either arty
to trie railroad labor board for re
hearing. Inasmuch as the employes
have agreed to all the terms pro
posed and the excutives have agreed
to two of the bases of settlement and
rejected the third, there remains
only the question of seniorinty cov
creu in paragraph tnree in dispute to
Dar setticmnet.
' "Mindful of the pledge of both the
executives and the striking shopmen
io recognize tne validity of all de
cisions by the railroad labor board, :
I am hereby calling: on the strildnir
workmen to return to work, calliug
upon me carriers to assign them to
work, and calling upon both work
men and carriers, under the law, to
take the question in dispute to the
railroad labor board for reharin and
decision and a compliance bv both
with the decision rendered."

"Warren G. Harding."
Telegram to Cuyler.
The president's telegrom to Mr.
Cuyler follows:
"I had your communication in
which you conveyed to me the res
olutions of your association agree
ing to two paragraphs in the pro
posal which I submitted for the
settlement of the pending strike of
railroad shop employes, and declin
ing to accept the third, which provides
for restored seniority rights of the
workmen on strike. Inasmuch as I
was acting as a voluntary mediator,
seeking the earliest possible restora
tion of railway transportation to full
efficiency, I confess a disappointment
that the terms were not accepted.
"The resolution which you trans
mit on behalf of the executives do
pledge that the carriers will recog
nize the validity of all decisions of
the railroad labor board and faith
fully carry out such decisions as con
templated by law. Yuo convey the
further agreement, as expressed in
the second paragraph of the proposal,
that 'railroad labor board decisions
which have been involved in the
strike, may be taken in the exercise
of recognized rights by either party,
to the railroad labor board for re
hearing. Men Agreed to Terms.
"The striking employes agreed to
all the terms proposed, therefore
only the question of seniority, cov
ered in paragraph three which the
executives rejected remains in dis
pute and bars a settlement. Mindful
of the pledge of both the executives
and the striking workmen to recog
nize the validity of all decisions by

The statement to tha public was
like that to Stun.
Men Indignant
The attitude of tha shopmen was
one of burning indignation toward
the presidents' proposal that they
return to work and leave the senior
ity question to the railroad labor
board. They made little effort to
conceal their disappointment over
what they declared to be a complete
reversal of the presidents' position.
In hia first settlement proposal,
they pointed out, he called for the
testoration of the strikers to their
former positions with their seniority
right unimpaired. Now he was
asking them to go back to work
with the seniority question entirely
unsettled and in the hands of a trl
bunal which they have reason to be
lieve would not grant them their old
status.
One high official of the striking
shopmen aaid that if the presidents
original proposition was right it was
atill right and that the mere fact
that the executives had rejected it
should not make it wrong.

riers to assign them to work, and

Washington, Aug. 7.(Specla1
Telegram.) The Interstate Com
merce commission today dismissed
the complaint of the Omaha Live
stock commission against the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road and other roads relative to fail
ure on the part of the roads to ab
sorb their full amount of the charges
assessed lor switching carload ship
ments of ordinary livestock to or

Omaha, in addition to the line-haul
rate. The Corn Belt Meat 1'roducert'
association, the American farm bu
reau federation and the National
Livestock exchange participated in
the complaint.
"Not PrejudiciaL"
In dismissing the complaint the
commission held that the action of
the road is (1) not unlawful in vio
lation of section 15 of the interstate
commerce act, and not unduly preju
dicial against the livestock trafhc at
Omaha nor unduly preferential of
other livestock markets.
The complainants allege that the
practice was preferential to competi
tive markets at Denver, East St.
Louis. Kansas City. South St. Jo
seph, Sioux City and North St. Paul
and Wichita.
Omaha Firm Loses.
Another decision today dealt with
the case of the Refinite company
against the Burlington road. This
company manufactures plants for
softening water and has its chief
offices in Omaha. It charged that
rates on shipments from points in
Wyoming to Ardmore, S. ., in the
years 1918-20 were excessive. The
commission declared the rates were
not unreasonable and dismissed the
complaint.
The commission suspended trom
Aucust 10 to December 8 the opera
tion of certain schedules which pro
posed to increase paper rates in car
loads, between M. J-ouis and Missis
sippi river points to points in Ne
