absolutely false and even ridiculous.
They continually say we are on the
verge of revolution which is simply
absurd. Considering the exception
al moments Italy is passing through,
like all the European nations and
also after-war psychology, the gen
eral elections in Italy occurred with
extraordinarily few incidents worthy
of mention,
No Strikes in Italy.
"Now public order is perfect in
deed and this is a boast which few
nations can make nowadays. There
is not a single strike in' Italy.
"Everything leads us to hope that
the entire country is ready to devote
itself whole-heartedly to the much
needed task of reconstruction. This
being the position of affairs in Italy,
it is easy to imagine how hard it
seems to us that our condition is
not judged with justice and equity,
especially by our friends in Amer
ica. I have often told them that
their obstnacy in not helping us
solve our difficulties is only ex
nlained bv their having an incorrect.
that is, no just appreciation of our
efforts and sacrifices.
Italy Unjustly Treated.
"It is useless to hide the truth.
Italy -feels she has been unjustly
treated. Let us look -at the question
disDassionatelv: Of the three Eu
ropean powers which waged war
against Germany Italy is the coun
try that, proportionately to her na
tional rit'hes, resources and popula
tion, suffered the most and is "still
suffering. We are still eating war
bread; the meat supply is absoutely
inadequate to the needs of the popu
lation and there is not enough milk
for the children and sick. We have
no coal and are burning the re
mainder of our forests.
"In addition. Italv was the only
country among the allies which en
tered the war soontaneously by its
own choice. France fought because
Germany invaded her territory;
Eneland because she had guaran
teed the neutrality of Belgium and
would have dishonored herself by
being false to her word.
Why Italy Made War.
"Italv was drawn into the conflict
by three reasons: By' her sense of
ideality; by her determination to
sacrifice in herself in order to
oppose a monstrous domination,
and finally, to obtain her unre
deemed national, territory.
"Italy freely chose to suffer. It
probably was not realized by our
allies absorbed in their own terrible
struggle, that during the war Italy
was often left to fight her battle
atone against all, the forces of the
Austro-Hungarian empire, which
were superior to us in position, num
bers and materials. After the col
lapse of Russia we struggled alone
and conquered." '
CITY TO SHIVER
WITH NO GOAL IN
SIGIITFOR DAYS
Cold Spell Promised and Will
Present Most Serious Situa
tion Ever Experienced
' In Omaha; "
With Omaha and many communi
ties in the state of Nebraska facing
fuel shortages, the local United
States weather bureau yesterday pre
dicted, that a cold .wave, moving
eastward from Montana, would
reach here some time today.
If cold weather does reach Omaha
within the next 24 hours the situa
tion will be one of the most serious
ever experienced by the city, ac
cording to local coal men, railroad
officials and members of the ter
minal coal committee.
The seriousness of the situation
was further emphasized when re
ports reached Omaha yesterday that
the great mines in the vicinity of
Sheridan, Wyo., which were pro
ducing nearly a normal amount last
week, were closed again yesterday.
Mine Supply Shut Off.
Much coal from the Sheridan dis
tricts would have been diverted here
if the mines had continued to pro
duce, coal men say. Reports re
ceived by Burlington officials give
no reason for the closing' of the
mines, . and indicate no early re
opening. "Coal from the east is arriving at
an average of IS cars a day," H.
L. Snyder, acting chairman of the
terminal coal committee, said yester
day. "This coal is from the supply
mined before the strike occurred.
Friday and Saturday the committee
felt justified in approving about 50
per cenf'of the amount of coal re
quested for domestic use and de
livered coal in sufficient quantities
to the dealers to meet the neces-.
sary requirements.
Packing Plants Get Coal.
The situation among the large
packers on the South Side, which
was regarded as critical Saturday,
had assumed a more encouraging
aspect yesterday when managers of
three plants reported that coal for
their use had arrived.
M. R. Murphy, general manager
of the Cudahy Packing company an
nounced that two large oil heating
appliances had been installed and a
third would be in operation by
Thursday. The two departments
which were closed Saturday will not
be reopened at present, but no more
will be closed, he said.

coal for war purposes. Coal was
basic and the increase imperative.
The public ought not to be asked
to pay and will not now pay the in
crease over normal profits than al
lowed for the purpose of stimulat
ing production. .
"Fourth. Any increases in wages
now arrived at on the basis of the
foregoing principles should be borne
by the operators or the public or
both as may be determined by, the
application of these principles and
should take effect as of the date
when the men return to work.
"Fifth. The needs of the United
States are not alone to be consid
ered: Europe is in desperate need
of coal and should have all that we
can spare."
Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of
the operators, said that Dr. Gar
field's pronouncement merely re
affirmed the statement of the fuel
administration before the wage
scale committees last week.
"I do not know what it all means.

coal from both the east and west in
a short time and would continue to

also reported sufficient coal on hand
to last for a few days.
The Union Stock Yards Co., on
which the entire packing industry of
the 'South Side is dependent, has
enough coal to last until next Mon
day, according to E. Buckingham,
general manager.
"We are using storage coal which
wai put away a year ago, and are

Buckingham. '
Face Country-wjde Famine.
J. E. Davidson, vice president and
general manager of the Nebraska
Power company and a member of
the terminal fuel committee, who
returned yesterday from New York
City, declared that unless miners re
turned to work at once, the entire
country would experience a terrible
fuel famine.
Mr. Davidson considers ,the sit
uation as serious in Omaha as in
any other city in the country. Asked
concerning proposed steps to save
fuel by conserving light Mr. David
son said no immediate steps would
be taken. He pointed out that
electric display signs were cut off.
The Nebraska Power company, as a
public utility, is on the preferred list
and should be able to secure suffi
cient coal to run for some time, he
said. r-
Few Days' Supply.
The Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company has suffi
cient, coal to run for the next few
days, according to R. A. Leussler,
general manager.
G. W. Clabaugh of the Omaha
Gas company, said today that his
company had plenty of coal to run
for several weeks. We can always
fall back on tar if we run out of
coal, he said.
Office buildings have sufficient
coal to continue operating for a
week, at least, according to reports.
It is the policy of the terminal coal
committee to supply coai to omce
buildings when possible.
Theatergoers are Warm.
Theater goers went to their favor
ite houses yesterday prepared tor
low temperatures as a result of the
coal committee's edict cutting off
coal from amusements. They found,
however, that temperatures in thea
ters were normal.
The Bcyd theater, which is heated
bv the Burgess-Nash plant, is assured
of heat for the "next ten days, ac
cording to W. T. Bureess. manaeer
If no coal is secured at the end of
that time the theater will close, Mr.
Burzess said.
The Brandeis and Strand theaters,
which are heated by the Brandeis
power plant, were comfortable in
spite of the fact that heat was cut off
baturday.
H. B. Watts, manager of the
Strand, said that with the exception
of one cold day, his theater had not
been heated this fall. The heat gen
erated bv the crowd is sufficient to
keep the theater warm, he said, un
less the weather ' is exceptionally
cold.
Joy Sutphen, manager of the
Brandeis. explained that his house is
situated in the center of a warm of
fice building, and declared that ;t e
atiired little or no heat, except dur
ing the very coldest weather. The
great difficulty was to keep the place
cool enough, he said.
Other theaters were comfortably
warm. Churches were also heated as
usual. K

was the only comment of John L,
Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers.
When the coal situation comes be
fore the cabinet tomorrow sharp dif
ferences of opinion between some
members is expected. Representa
tives of the operators have made the
claim repeatedly that the proposal of
Secretary Wilson tor a wage ad
vance of 31 per cent did not have the
approval of a majority of he cabi
net, but it was admitted that Mr.
Wilson would have the -support of
some who were willing to give the
miners whatever they asked in order
to get them back to work.
Other cabinet members, it was
said, feared the effect of a big wage
advance might have on the efforts of
the government to reduce the, cost
of living. Granting of the miners'
request would strengthen the de
mands ot railroad employes and
other workers for more pay and in
many ways disturb the industrial
Situation, accoraing 10 one view.
A report circulated among the
operators and discussed by them at
a meeting after the withdrawal of
Dr. Garfield and the miners that'Mr.
Lewis had accepted the principles
enunciated by the fuel administra
tor, was denied by Mr. Lewis
"I cannot accept anything I do
not understand," said Mr. Lewis,
"but I do construe the statement as
a justification of the figures sub
mttted bv secretary Wilson."
New York, Nov. 24. Soft coal
mine owners made shocking and
indefensible" profits in ' 1917 and
there is "grave doubt" that they are
entitled to increased prices because
of the proposed 31 per cent increase
in miners' wasres. William G. Mc-
Adoo, former secretary of the
treasury, declared today in a tele
gram to Federal Fuel Administrator
Garfield. Ihe owners pronts as
shown by their income tax returns,
examined by him as secretary of
the treasury in 1918, he said, showed
earnings on capital stock ranging
from IS to 2,000 per cent
I am convinced that tne wage
increases proposed for the mine
workers are just and reasonable,"
he said. 1
Comments on Statement
Indianapolis, Nov. 24. The state
ment of William G. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, that coal
operators made as high as 2,000 per
cent on their capital in 1917 "must
be an interesting revelation to those
persons who have been wondering
about the recent coal price situa
tion," said Ellis Searles, editor of
the United Mine Workers Journal.
Mr. Searles. in commenting on the
telegram sent by Mr. McAdoo to
rederal ruel Administrator oar-
field, which declared that the opera
tors made enormous profits in 1917
and 1918, made the following statement:'
"The statement of W. G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasurer,
that coal operators 'made shocking
and indefensible' profits 'in 1917,
must De an interesting revciauon to
those persons who have .been won
dering about the present coal price
situation. Evidently McAdoo knows
what he is talking about, for he had
access to the income tax returns
made by coal operators. He says
operators made as much as 2,000 per
cent on their capital stock in 1917.
Ever since the wage controversy
started between the operators and
the miners, the miners have insisted
that the operators could grant a
substantial increase to the miners
out of their profits without increas
ing, the price of coal to the con
sumer. We have also said that the
operators have been making more
money during the last two or three
years than they ever made before in
their lives, while the miners con
tinued to work for less than living
wages. And now McAdoo makes
the showing even stronger than the
miners ever did. The trouble with
the operators all along has ., been
that they did not propose to do any
thing that would cut into their enor
mous profits."

WOMEN EQUAL
TO MEN IN NEW
NATIONAL PARTY
Representatives of Organized
Labor Adopt Constitution
.And Select hame for
Political Movement.
Chicago, Nov. x 24. Representa
tives of organized labor meeting
here to plan a new national party
adopted a constitution and selected
a name for the movement today.
The organization will be known as
the Labor Party of the United
States and its object will be "to
organize all handNand brain workers
of the country to" support the prin
ciples of a political, .social and in-;
dustrial democracy. Women are
to have equal representation ' with,
men in the management of the
party.
Trade unions, farmers' organiza
tions, co-operative bodies and all
other associations which subscribe
to the principles of the party are
invited to become affiliated with the
movement.
The affairs of the organization
will be administered by a national
committee which will elect a sec
retary-treasurer as its executive officer.
National Convention.
The committee on constitution
recommended that the national com
mittee be composed of one member
from each state, but Robert M.
Buck of Chicago led a fight to have
a man and woman committeeman
from each state, which precipitated a
two-hour debate and resulted in ac
tion being deferred until tomorrow.
The new party will hold a national
convention next summer to nomi
nate candidates for president and
vice president
The constitution provides for the
issuance of state charters upon pe
tition ot hve or more local branches.
The basis of representation in the
national convention will be one dele-gate-at-large
from each state and ad
ditional delegates for every 400 ot
party membership from the various,
states.
Day'a Pay to Fund.
Members of the party will be
asked to contribute one day's pay
to the campaign fund next year.
The party also will be financed by
the levying of a monthly tax of
five to 25 cents on each member,
the members in states without party
charters paying the maximum tax.
Among the resolutions adopted
were:
For the imoeachment of United
Statcs.District Judge A. B. Ander
son of Indianapolis by congress for
his action in granting the govern
ment a mandatory injunction order
ing the rescinding of the coal nun
ers' strike.
Protesting against the massacre
of Jews in the Ukraine and other
turonean countries.
Application of the principles of
the initiative and referendum in na
tional legislation.
ror the release of Eugene V.
Debs, Kate Richards O'Hare. Carl
Haessler and 1,000 other political
and industrial prisoners.
as Mooney and Warren K. Billings.
The delegates cheered for several
minutes when Jack Mooney, a
brother of Thomas Mooney, in a
speech said that former District At
torney Fickert of San Francisco had
been, stricken with paralyas.
The party plans to expend a large
sum in a country-wide educational
campaign in which moving pictures
will be a feature.
Women Cowboys.
Eight men and two women dele
gates from Wyoming gave a touch
of color to the assembly by appear
ing on the stage in cowboy cos
tumes. Chairman Max Hayes caused some
excitement by announcing that a
roll of bills amounting to $750 had
been found in the hall by a dele
gate who turned it over to him to
find the owner.
If the money is not claimed by the
owner it will be turned into the cam
paign fund of the party. .
The convention expects to con
clude its work and adjourn either to
morrow or Wednesday. ,

Washington, Nor. 24. Instruc
tions that American soldier dead, in
