Crisjs in Metal
Workers' Strike
In Italy Friday
Ultimate Aim of Federation Is
Socialization of Industry
and Extension of Sovi
et Principle.
London, Sept. 9. Friday will be
a critical day in the history of the
movement of Italian metal workers
which has resulted in the - occupa
tion of many large industrial plants
in that country, says the Milarr cor
respondent of the Herald, organ of
labor.' On that day the General
Confederation of Labor,; meets in
Milan, and if no decision is reached
by theu, the rorrespondent says, inn
mediate action may be taken
workers. '
, ( "The ultimate aim of the Federa
tion of Metal Workers, as well as
the Confederation of Labor," he de
clares, "is socializationof industry,
and this aim, now almost within
their grasp, may at any moment
overshadow claims for wages. Fri
day may well see an extension of
the soviet principle to other indus
tries of Italy."
Plan Training of ;
Peace Time Armv
Organized Reserves Important
Element in Policy of U. S.
General Staff
Rome, Sept. 9. Efforts continue
to bring about a solution. of jhe sit
uation which has arisen throughout
Italy as a result of the movement
(amon metal workers to occupy
plants in the most important indus
trial centers. The government, it
is said by newspapers, will act only
io insure order. Reports' indicate
that quiet prevails t all affected
centers, and that engineers, foremen
ju'.d e'erical staffs at occupieiplants
still refuse to join the workers. The
fact that de'egates from workmen's
and -employers' organizations are in
communication is regarded as favor
able to an adjustment.
It is declared the majority of the
metal workers are controlled by ex
treme socialists who are desirous-of
giving the movetnent a - political
character, but responsible leaders of
the party arc said to discourage such
a policy. Af'manv places the work
ers have announced they are ready
to convert themselves into co-operative
societies, which would un
dertake the direct management of
works that have been occupied, pay

Detroit, Sept. 9. Peace-time or
ganization and training of the na
tion's organized reserves is an im
portant clement of the new military
policy adopted by the general staff,
Maj. Gen. William G. Haan, direc
tor of the war plans division (of that
body, said in an address before the
convention of the American Offi
cers of the Great War.
The regular ai)my of approximate
ly 300,000 officers and men will con
tinue to be the first line of defense,
he said, and the national guard the
second line, to be called upon imme
diately in case of national enjer
eigency, but behind both of these
by! will be the reserves, consisting of
enlisted ana commissioned person
nel with former war experience ind
annual training in as completely or
ganized tactical units as possible to
effect. I
Organization of the reserves will
follow closely the geographical divi
sion of the United States, under the
oepartmental plan. With the en
tire continental expanse of the coun-tri-forming'the
"area of the United
Slates army," an army corps will
be formed in each of the new dis
tricts which has supplanted the old
military departments, and the corps
area commander "will be in charge
of all troops of the three .classes
within hi zone. Reserve officers
are to be assigned for annual train
ing to the posts they would occupy
under war conditions, anf thus will
be trained with the men, and under
th ; superiors, with whom they nom
inally might be expected to serve in
the field. '
This system of peace assignment
and training will be followed, it was
announced, with officers and men
of the staff units, as well as of the
line, an officer iii the ordnance re
serve going ;for summer training to
an arsenal or supply depot within
his zone. ' "

Connellsville, Pa., Sept. 9. The
loss of 14,510 t&ns in coke production

liquor procurable in , the . region
since January 16 , last." says the
Courier, "it is only recently that it
has become so plentiful in supply as
to interfere with the operation of the
plants as seriously as it did prior to
the inauguration of prohibition.,
'INow the activity of bootleggers
and illicit traffickers of all degrees
and kinds, supplemented by in
creased proficiency in'' the art Vf

Blair Admits
Campaign Quota
Had Been Fixed
Treasurer's Office Planned to
Organize Intensive Drive in
54 Cities, According to
Admission at Probe.
Chicago, Sept. 9. Charges by
Governor Cox that the republicans
had fixed quotas and planned inten
sive fund raising" drives in at least
51 cities, and that the national com
mittee had had a part in assessing
the city quotas were admitted on
the stand before the senate investi
gating committee today by Harry
M. Blair, assistant to Fred W.
Upham, republican national treas
urer. '
Reading from a document pro
duced by Mr. Blair, which, he said,
was sent out in lieu of the much
discussed "form 101," Senator Reed
brought out that the treasurer's of
fice planned to organize intensive
drives in 54 cities, three more than
the Ohio governor mentioned when
he read his list of 51 at Pittsburgh.
From the same document Senator
Reed read that the local chairman
appointed in each city was to "accept
the qticna placed upon- the city by
the national treasurer." t
Upham O. K'd Chairmen.
"But he never did that to my
knowledge," Mr. Blair interjected.
He explained that the, plan "in his
mind" was .for the state chairman
of the ways and means committee
to select local chairmen in cities,
who then would be confirmed by
Mr. Upham to make it official" and
that Mr. Upham should pass on to
the local chairman a city quota sug
gested by the state head.
showed that the ideas which he had
in his mind were rejected by his su
periors when placed on paper, which
was the fate of "form 101."
Gave Copy of "lOl."
Mr. Blair produced a copy of that
form and when it was compared to
the opy of the same form whicH
Governor Cox had sent tOthc com
mittee by Edmund Mopre.Niis per
sonal representative, the governor's
copy Mas found to be incomplete:
An entire paragraph which appeared
in Mr. Blair's copy was omitted
from that sent by the governor. The
paragraph suggestedthat contribu
tions of $5,000 and $10,000 be ac
cepted, removing the $1,000 limit
fixed by Chairman Hays. The copy
furnished by the governor merely
suggested that contributions of
"from $5,000 upward be received."
While he planned drives in 54
cities, Mr. Blair said, it was found
impossible to carry out the program
because of local conditions in some
places.
"You did, though, contemplate or
ganizing drives in 54 cities?" asked
Senator Reed.
"Yes. sir."
"So, if Governor Cox or any other
man charges you had plans for or
ganizing in 51 cities, he simply un
derstated, didn't he?"
"Yes, sir."
Used Drive Plans.
- Senator Reed attempted to brinR
out that the document with which
Mr. Blair displaced form 101, was
not intended for that purpose, and
asked how Dudley S. Blossom of
CUveland, who testified yesterday,
had been able to follow the form
101 plan, exactly, if he had never
seen it. ...
Mr. Blair explained that the cam
paign plan was commonly used for
money drives for hospitals, Y. M.
C. A. buildings and in war drives
and that all his assistants had
worked in such activities and knew
tjie general procedure.
Senator Reed read from the sub
His testimony at many points document a sentence saying a plan
cf campaign was appended and
asked for a copy of that plan.
"Why, that was form 101." Mr.
Blair said, but later withdrew his
answer on the ground that he had
misunderstood the question, and de
clared that in spite of the statement
hr-the substitute document, no
campaign plan was attached to it.
