Italy Is\ about to take a referendum on the whole D'Annunzio and Flume Issue as a result of President Wilson's rejection of the Flume proposal, to which' Great Brit-ftl- n and Franco had agreed 'condition- ally. With r general election occur- ring six weeks hence, this means a )rlod of nervous anxiety for all Europe, with a possibility that events may occur In the meantime' on the Adriatic shore which conceivably might precipitate another armed con- flict in the heart of Europe. The significance .of the dissolution of the Italian Parliament and the call- ing of this election was discussed to- day In ho Supreme Council, where the gravity of the situation was recognized by nil. As the spokemen of President Wilson here see It It Is a straight out contest between tlio military and civil parties between those who would an- nex Flume, even at the cost of a war with the Jugo-Slav- s, and thoso who ore willing to give up tho claim to Flume not only to avert war but to obtain American credit with which to buy coal' and food, , Wilson Main Ipine, This, represents the view of those who have been trying for \to Jnduce the Italians to accept the judgment or President Wilson as to how things ought id be In this Un-jlc- part ot Eu- rope, a Judgment, it might be said, which has- not been concurred In by Ills associates. On the other hand, as the Italian spokesmen here view It, the Issue Is whether, Italy shall bow before the President because of his threat or Iso- lating Italy economically through the withholding of American credits, or whether Italy shall annex Flume as the United States annexed Texas. ThUs there are Involved In the Issue rome of the principles underlying tho covenant of the League of Natons! What Is giving the greatest anxiety for the moment Is the highly charged situa- tion which will exist In the Adrlat.c re- gion for the next'ffew weeks, to which the military party may at any moment apply a spark In the hope of W nning the election. This would consist In, having D'Annunzio deliberately provoke a con- flict with the Serbs in Dalm-itla- , with all the consequences this would Involve for the Supreme Council here and for Eu-lop- e. With this situation the American here have told Great Britain nnd France that It Is ,up to tnem.as having most at stake to stop the war which this would mean at all coats. In other words,, America, through President Wilson, having brought about this highly charged sltuaton, la now demanding of its two chief associate that they shall bring pressure to bear to avert such consequences ns would be evolved should the Serbians and Italians come to blows. Americana Itelr People.1 The Americans profess to have ra that the Italian people, or a n.lnrlhl nf IhtlTL . do nOt dCSlfB tO gO -- - - so far as to annex nume uuu m: they are more Interested in getting coal and food with American money. Con- sequently they take the view thit the result of the election .Is a foregone con- clusion, providing that the military party, in collusion with D'Annunzio, does not provoke a conflict for the pur-jio- se of carrying the day. Should a conflict begin the power of the Supreme Council to stop a real war v.ouM be put to the test Imedlately. If the three principal allies stand to- gether. It was said In American circles, there could not be any war and they ure confident the Powers will act .as a i n That euch a situation oould exist at the present time seems nothing short of a travesty on the 'Peace Conference and the principles that President Wil- son brought here. \ By the Attoctated Frett.

LABOR CONTROL LOST BY TREATY Senator Fall Shows Britain Has 24 Votes to America's 1 in Council. DOMESTIC LIFE AFFECTED Authority of Congress to En-- , act Laws for Workers Would Be Bestricted. Sptcial Dttpateh to Tat Sex. Washington, Sept. 30. Addressing the Senate y In 'behalf of his series of amendments to the peace Treaty, Senator Fall (N. M.), declared that among the impositions the treaty would inflict on the United States Is the creation of a Labor International Council wherein the United States would have four representatives while the British Empire would have twenty-f- our. - , This Is the ratio of tho representa- tion of the two countries in the As- sembly, ot the League, where the United States would havr one to six for the British Empire. Senator Fall only mentioned this point. Incidentally at the conclusion ot his address, and will develop It fur ther, it is understood, at another time. One of his amendments proposes to end all participation of this country In tho international labor organiza- tion. The others strike out all repre- sentation of the United States In the other International administrative committees set up under the treaty, except that a partial representation is retained In the Iteparatlon Commis- sion . so that American interests in connection with shipping matters may be protected. Hypothetical Cane Considered. Senator Fall's speech was one of a series ot legal analyses and expositions that have marked Jhe more recent con- sideration of the- treaty. lie did not confine himself to his amendments but considered perfectly possible cases which might ariso under the operations of the League ot Nations wherein the .United States would be at . a dis- advantage. \Take a case in our relations with Slexico,\ said Senator Fall. \For dec- ades there has, been a dispute between this country and Mexico about a strip of territory in Texas. It bow consti- tutes a part of the city of El Paso. Under tho treaty ot Guadalupe lildaiio it was supposed to be settled t and a Joint boundary commission was estab- lished which was active for many years. This strip of land was in dispute owing to shift In the course of tho ltio Grande. A bright Yankee sued to establish his claim under the Mexican deed.. He was promptly beaten. Until that time there had never been question of American sovereignty. Mexico had never clalihed ' It. \That case still remains in a fashion unsettled What would be Its status If we were now In the League of Nations? Mexico Is not a member 'nor has Bhe been invited to Join.' Assuming that the United States becomes a member let us assume further that Mexico takes her claim to the league and represents that the dispute ay affect the peace of the world. \Some friend of Mexico Induces the conference to take cognizance of the matter and gets Mexico to Join tempo- rarily the league, until Article XVII. for j the purpose of settling this dispute.

Premier Clemen-cea- u won his point to-d- when tho Chamber of Deputies voted confidence In the Government by 262 to 188, but this is the narrowest margin that the Premier lias received 'Since he as- sumed office. The victory of the Gov- ernment, which results In the post- ponement until after tho ratification of the treaty of discussion of the mo- tion of Deputy Andre Lefevro for new negotiations with tho Allies to bring about the disarmament of Germany, can be sold to presage an early vote on the treaty Itself, possibly by Thursday of this week. Although the Premier had accepted In principle the motion of Deputy Lefovre the latter Insisted upon an immediate vote. Exasperated by this attempt and the efforts of many other deputies to prolong the debate Pre mler ,CIemcnceau decided to make an issue of the matter nnd throw down the gage to Parliament cither the Lefevre motion would be postponed until after ratification or he would decline responsibility fbr the execution of tho treaty.

Along the Rancocas Creek at tho edge, of Mount Holly County, Detective Parker, shortly before 8 o'clock to night, captured James Whitings, the negro wanted for nrt assault upon Mrs. May Lotsey, near Mcrchantvllle yesterday morning. He Is now In the County Jail here. The news of the capture was not spread, the officials taking that precaution against nny mob violence that might develop. The public Is highly excited by tho sensa tional developments of the case.

Parker thinks that Whitings has seen something ln the newspapers about what has been done to negroes guilty of simi- lar crimes in other places and was will- ing to give himself up to avoid lynching. Whitings was unarmed. It had been reiorted last night that he had a re- volver and Parker quickly made a search.

He signed sev- eral \minor bills and resolutions, sent somo nominations to the Senate, and dictated a few letters. During the afternoon he took an- other automobile ride and seemed to enjoy It thoroughly.

Organized sk'll. developed to tho highest point of efficiency during the war, lias proved England's salvation during the first four days of 'the national railway strike. In the faco of the emergency the authorities havo delivered 40 per cent of tho country's milk rations. This task, wh.'ch ln London alone is tremendous ln its proportions, has been handled with a rapidity that Is startling. Meat has been distributed, both through London and tho provinces, with the result that bacon has been taken off tho rationed list. Malls have been delivered regularly in every com- munity and havo been apparently only slightly afikcted by transport difficulties. Regular deliveries have, been made In London. Even tfie foreign malls have reached their destination on scheduled time. Coal is plentiful everywhere with little prospect of a shortage unless the strike continues for several weeks. All ot these facts, along with offi- cial statements of numerous train services, which are being revived, tend to cost a hopeful glow over the sit- uation. But, from a broader view- point, the outlook Is' blacker. All signs point to . a general walkout of the bus drivers; trnm motormen, taxi drivers, possibly at midnight Weuti Mines lo Close. Although notion by tho triplolllanco ln sympathy with tho\ rallwnymen is Imminent, tnus far tho damaging ef fects of tho strike are not serious. however, all of the Sout'-Wale- s mines will be forced to close, throwing 250.000' men out of work. The coal controller y Instructed numerous collieries to work and pije the coal' outsldo the pitheads, but those unable to carry out this order must discontinue. Officials of the tcstile factories lnJ Lancashire' nnd Leicester have decldt-r- t to work half time to furnish employ- ment for workers ho long ns possible. Kach hour adds to the Industrial con- fusion and sees the country's efforts ot trade rehabllatlon vanishing ln dlsbrder. Scenes like those ot 1914 are constantly recurring throughout London.

MAYOR VETOES HIS OWN ORDER Issued Edict 'Forbidding City Employees to Hold .Jlore Pay Meetings. QUICKLY BESC1NDS IT First Billing Brought Storm of Protests Platform Pledge Beeallcd. An order Issued yesterday by Mayor Ilylan forjildding the police and'fire-mc- n to hold li meeting to-d- in City Hall Park to agitato their demands for nn increase in pay raised such n, storm of protest that he reversed himself last night after a conference with Frank J. Prial, president of tho Civil Servico Forum. . The Mayor wrote to Police Commis- sioner Knrlght yesterday morning that he had heard the meeting was o bo a \disorderly gathering of agi- tators\ raid that he had personally Mioken to more than fifty members of tho uniformed force and found them satisfied with tire $400 increase now promised by the Hoard of Estimate. ' Following this orders wero issued by the Police and Fire departments and posted In the Ore houses and police stations informing the men that under no circunfstancea were they to appear before the Board of Aldermen y or nny other day without special permis- sion from the chiefs of tho departments. II rcnlU I'nrtj- - l'leflKC Mr. Prlal pointed out that tills al to let the city employees htate their case to the Aldermen was a direct violation ot a pledge contained In the 1917 party platform on which Mayor Hylau was elected. Thrt. platform distinctly stated that the \rights of employees to petition leg- islative bodies and officials of the Gover- nment-should not bo denied.\ After conceding the right of tho and flrcnen to plead tlidr case nt the hearing In' City Hall, which has been called by Robert L. Morau, presi- dent of the Hoard of Alderman, for 1 o'clock this afternoon, Iho Mayor made a further concession by giving hU to tho Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and the Uniformed Fire men's Association to choose their own spokesmen. The presidents of these associations. wh?m tho Mayor has characterized as \agitators and a committee of citizens will ask the Hoard of Aldermen for a straight J2.000 a year wage for patrol men and firemen. . , Among tnose wno will snenK on bo- - half pf the men are Herman A.

Originally the depart mental estimates of the Police and Fire departments called only for a few Bpec'aj snlnry advances. Now nt least $400 In- crease has been promised by the Hoard of Estimate, nnd it Is hoped that befora the budget for 1320 is closed the amount wU be raised to $800 for patrolmen and firemen of the lowest grade. Mr. Prlal exposed n \fake\ that he said some of the enemies of the Forum had tried to put over. An undertaker named Dalton In Brooklyn, who Is a candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen, he asserted, was named In a Brooklyn paper last Sunday as tht \Idol of the Police Department.\ The article paid he would get all the votes of tho firemen and police for his aid In the effort to obtain n wage Increase. Mr. Prlal stated this was untrue and the Forum passed a resolution condemn- ing the candidacy of Dalton. The Forum nominated as officers for the ensuing year Frank J.

DECISION KITS STBIKEBS Pittsburg Judge Upholds Mu- nicipal Bulings Barriilg Meetings. Bv a Staff Corretpondent of Tim tns. PlrrsBUHO, Sept. 30. vTho stoel strike settled frnnkly into a war of attrition y, with both sides using tho most intensive methods. Nelthor Is making any great claims. There has been no wholesale return of men to work and tho efforts to close down the big Jones & Laughlln plant in Pittsburg havo failed rather Thus the relative position of the strikers and-th- e steel makers remains substantially as It was last week and with all of tho chances favoring a vic- tory over the union by the companies. Steel is being made In quantity up the Monongahcla Valley at Duquesiie, Homestead and Rankin, the strong- hold of tho Carnegie Steel Company, even though the forces are somewhat crippled. Little steel Is being made iny place else. Bui these big plants of the Carnegie Company in normal times produce a large percentage of the Steel Corporation's output. Conflicting reports continue to come from Rethlehcm. 'William Z. Foster made public nnother tele- gram from Davo Williams, his organ- izer, insisting that 80 per cent- - of the Schwab men were out. Vuhl'lgon Move Looked For. Both sides are looking to the Senate committee investigating tho strike for the next move. Ea,ch side hopes for de- velopments from the nppearanco of Judge Gary before the committee to- morrow, the steel officials believing that tlitlr head will conclusively show the Justice ot the Steel Corporation's posi- tion nnd the union leaders foreseeing nn opportunity for their friends on the com- mittee to bring out admissions favoiable to the strikers. Elaborate preparations are belli made hero fur the trip of William ' Foster nnd M. F. Tlglie of tho Amal gamnted Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers to appear before the com mlttee on Thursday. . Affidavits sup porting the strikers' contentions that their constitutional lights havo been grossly infringed by local authorltlef under the. influence ot the steel trust havo been assembled literally by the bushel. The strikers believe that Foster \will dispel for all time the accusations of \redness\ made against him and which they know have seriously hurt their own cause outsldo of the Industiv Itself. Tho strikers and the steel companies ure making far riung pieparations for tho visit of the committee to tho Plttp-bur- district. The companies expect to show that tho allegations of wiualld con- ditions In which their employees live may 1 disproved : the strikers expect to show first hand instances of the nefarious \Cossacks.\ All of which is admittedly lo play a big part In the future of tho strike whether or not lending Itself to Its iiiunedli.tr breakago or settlement Many Missionaries at Work, The Intenslvo means of attrition ern ployed by both sides aro' the methods of the missionary. Not only are the or ganlzers of the Btrike spreading by the hundreds through the district each night to talk o workmen In their homes but the bosses themselves arc doing the tame thing. Where tho latter need men they go om to get them. Frequently bosoes liave spent hours arguing with a' single man to get him to go back to some, partlcu larly vital Job. Both bands of mission- aries are having some succyss. Steel operators ucru little distutlied here by the report of a strike on the oro docks at Cleveland. None o' them need nny ore.

One of the hardest blows Htruck ngalnst the labor organizers here was dealt to. day by a decision of the County Court which upheld the convictions of Foste. and J.
