CHEMICAL WORKS OF ITALY TAKEN OVER BY RADICAL LABOR (By Associated Press) MILAN, Ity. Sept. 11. More thrn 200 Chenal works here were occupied at a given signal late Friday anl red flags were hoisted above them on orders issued by the chamber of laboc The chemical plants were occupied simultaneously, the movement being carried out following a signal of three blasts on a large slreen. Immediately afterward red flags and banners bearing the Bolshevik erblem of the hammer and scythe were hoisted. The workers obeyed the oi der received from the chamber of labor despite the fact that they weie recently granted wage increases of from 60 to 70 cents a day. Says It Was Necessary. The chamber of labor, in explaining the seizure of the chemical works, declared tonight that the move was not in the nature of a real occupation of the plants, but was simply a measure which was necessary to guarantee metal workers the materials they need to carry on the industry. The new movement started in the largest establishment of the Pierella firm where Albert Pierella, an engineer was captured a short time ago. He is a son of Senator Pierelli, head of the firm. A brother was an aviator who died in America during the war. and another brother, Captain Piero Pierelli will be remembered by Am ercans who visited the Austrian war zone. In many cases he acted as Interpreter for Americans who went to the front. Wants Decision Council Excitement is intense in this city as to the possible decision of the confederation of labor relative to the movement on the part of metal workers to occupy and operate industrial plants throughout Italy. There is a spirit of compromise in the air and it is believed that meetings between employers and representatives of workers, which continued today, will result in some sort of adjustment of the situation. Commander Jarache, Deputy Oliv etti, Attorney Ropligliano and Prof. Riva, representatives of employers, were called in several times today by Signor Lusignoll, prefect of the city, who is acting as a go-between in the negotiations here. Meets Socialist Members The prefect also had long conferences with several socialist members of the chamber of deputies and made an earnest effort to bring to the attention of both sides the fact that a continuaqtion of the present crisis will be perilous to the entire nation. It is understood he has asked em ployers to consider the supreme interests of the country and accept the economic claims of the men. Qn the other hand he has urged the workers to acknowledge any sacrifices made by employers and to promptly return to a respect for law and order and the rights of property. TURIN, Italy, Sept. 11 All Italy has again turned to Premier Giolitti, expecting him to bring about a solution of the difficult crisis which has arisen in the industrial line of the country. He is spending a short time at Bardonecchla. a litWe village near the French frontier, where he has gone for 38 summers to spend his vacation. Premier Giolitti will next month celebrate his 78th birthday, and since asuming the burdens of premiership has despatched all state business wherever he has been staying for a few days. He is at present using his sittingroom, which is but little larger than a porter's lodge for an office and there he works 10 hours daily with his secre tary Dr. Falco, who has for many years been his faithful companion. Dr. Falco is an enthusiastic pedestrian, but he is unable to compete with Signor Giolitti, saying the latter is possessed of a pair of "40 miles a day legs." All interviews with persons summoned here by the premier have taken place while walking through the forests or climbing neighboring mountains, the unfortunate visitor panting frantically to keep up with the head of the Italian cabinet. The only other companion of the Premier at Bardonecchia is Dr. Mattoli, his physician, but he is not there because the premier needs medical attention but as a friend who on certain occasions tTans forms himself into an English trans lator. He speaks that language fluent ly. his wife being a native of the United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 11 The president's telegram was sent to Philip Murray, John Collins, Thomas Kennedy and C. J. Molden, at Scranton, Penn., and said: "I am in receipt of your telegram of September 3 informing me that you have written the award of the anthracite coal commission into an agreement with the anthracite operators, despite the fact that you are convinced that the award in itself does not provide that measure of Justice to which you believe your people are entitled. "I sincerely thank you for the promptness with which you have acted, notwithstanding your disappointment. It is a policy of that kind, carried into effect by the rank and file of the workers, that has made for the steady improvement of the conditions of the anthracite miners in recent years, and which lays the foundation for still further progress. "You ask me to convene the joint scale committee of anthracite operators and Jiiinera.Jor.4he purpose of. adjusting certain inequalities which you assert exist in the award of the anthracite coal commission. "In that connection your attention is Called to a telegram which I sent to Enoch ' Williams and others in reply to a telegram I received from them stating that the anthracite miners would refrain from working unless I set aside the award of the anthracite coal commission on or before Sept. 1." It Is a Strike Anyway. The president quoted from his message, In which he declared that if the communication was intended as a threat the miners could rest assured the challenge .would be accepted. "Notwithstanding the plain warning contained in that telegram, which was given wide publicity," the president's message contained, "the majority or j the anthracite coal moners, following leadership in these men, have refused from work under the guise of taking a vacation. In doing so they have not deceived anyone, not even themselves. "When a body of men collectively refrain from working by mutual understanding, however arrived at, it is a strike, no matter what name may be given to It Our people have fought a great war and made untold sacrifices to insure among other things that a solemn agreement shall not be considered as a mere scrap of paper."
