Rational Action Desired. "So vie arrive at the principle of controllo. or supervision, through which the worker will be afforded an opportunity to familiarize himself with every angle of industrial pro duction and may have a rational basis lor his efforts to better his lot. "To apniy this principle a commis sion composed of six employers and ix representatives of labor is beinsr organized. Two methods of applica tion are in view. One is to have the delegates of the workers sit in the boards of directors of industrial con cerns. The other is to have the work ers represented in stockholders' as semblies which pass upon the acts of Xbe directors. "I a.tu hopeful the commission we have created will be able to elaborate a comprehensive plan that can be translated into law. In any event, the eupervision principle will be applied ultimately by parliament. "I believe, moreover, Italy's lead in this matter before long will be fol lowed by other nations. Old forms of contract between capital and labor are out of date today and the sooner this is recognized generally, the bet ter it will be tor us all." Little Krlction Kxpected. Signor Giolitti anticipated no con siderable friction in applying the supervision programme.- either from tl.e bosses or the workers. The mi nority of the manufacturers, which opposes the project, he remarked, consists chiefly of men "whose estab lishments are so badly run that they do not want outside surveillance. " As for the labor unions, the refer endum vote taken among their mem bers clearly demonstrates, he added, how insignificant is the number of extremists antagonistic to the gov ernment's proposals. "in the event of the workers rep resentatives on the board of directors or the stockholders' assembly formu lating demands which the bosses con sider unacceptable, who is to be the final arbiter?" I asked. "The Italian parliament,," was the fciief reply. I inquired whether, in view of the Italian socialists' wrangling over the question of adherence to the third in ternationale, the present situation would have any repercussion on Italy's policy toward soviet Russia. HnHMlan Policy Unchanged. ' "I do not see why it should," the piemier responded. "Our policy is un changed. Kach power's liberty of ac tion as regards Russia -was reaffirmed at my conference with .M. Millerand at Aix-les-Bains. There is small prospect, I think, of any immediate resumption of political conversation with the Soviets. Commercial dealings are always possible, but it does not seem feasible to get much out . of Hussia at present because her trans port is so crippled. , "However, Italy has made a begin ning in the field of trade with that unfortunate land and will continue. It is no concern of ours whom the Ilusians choose to govern them. If they want Lenlne, that is their busi ness. But we reserve the right to abstain from friendly relations with a government of which we disapprove." "Would conclusion of peace between the Soviets and Poland affect Italy's position ?" "I doubt it. It might have this result, though: It would oblige the eoviets to demobilize their huge army, and this in turn might lead to the overthrow of the present dictatorship at Moscow. That would be very in teresting to the whole world." German Question Avoided. Signor Giolitti appeared disinclined to say much about Germany. He re marked that he "lacked the elements for a thorough discussion of the Ger man question," and preferred to await further consideration of the matter by the allied governments. I asked whether this implied an other meeting of the supreme coun cil to discuss reparations, to which he replied that "nothing is fixed yet." "Kach nation." the premier added after a moment's thought, "should aid Germany to recover her economic footing to the best of its ability, bear ing- In mind, of course, the obligations imposed by the treaty of Versailles." Of Flume and the Adriatic littoral, Signor Giolitti merely observed that the renewal of negotiations between Italy and Jugo-Slavia in the near future was a hopeful indication of a satisfactory settlement. "Italy," he affirmed, "i,s ready to make large concessions to the prin ciple of including as few Slavs as possible in Italian territory." In conclusion the premier voiced his profound faith in his country's swift recuperation from "the maladies of war." Italy Declared Sound. "It is most important." he said, "that America should comprehend the hopefulness of the situation and not withhold from us that spirit of co-operation for which In the long run she will be amply repaid, both morally and materially. Once the labor prob lem is solved and it will be solved mere js nothing to prevent our pro ductivity regaining its normal level. Already tourist migration, one of our Bieai sources or wealth, is resuming its pre-war volume. Our lack of coal gradually will be overcome by the utilization of tremendous hydro electric forces lying dormant in our northern waterfalls, through which wre shall eventually provide energy for the railroadcs and industries of half of Italy. "The government's bread subsidy is a heavy burden, but it will be balanced by a tax on wine. The Italian nation is sound to the core and we shall emerge from our present distress stronger politically and economically than we have ever been." coal shipmenTspeeded ROADS ARE ORDERED TO RUSH CARS TO MIXES. ALLIES MEET 111 U. S. TO ALLOCATE CABLES Disposition of Seized German Lines to Be Made. WORLD POLICY OUTLINED Programme Formulated by Inter state Commission Is Expected to Relieve Fuel Situation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Action to satisfy demands for domestic coal in various states was taken tonight by the interstate commerce commission in an order requiring railroads east of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico to furnish coal cars to mines in preference to any other use. Former orders of this character ap plied only to the section east of the Mississippi river. The present order, the commission said, would run until fu-rther notice but would be relaxed when the situation warranted. The commission announced that ar rangements to continue the move ment of certain essentials, such as sugar beets to factories, would be made. Working in conjunction with coal operators and railroads, a programme has been formulated, the committee said, which is expected substantially to meet domestic coal needs. Despite an increase in coal produc tion which up to September 25 ex ceeded that of last year by 51,000,000 tons, the commission said "there has not been a sufficient production of the sizes of coal for domestic purposes to satisfy the present demands." "It is imperative that the produc tion of coal be even further increased. To accomplish this, it will be neces sary to increase the car supply." The existing order for the prefer ential movement of 4000 cars of coal daily for the northwest was not changed. BANBlfWlEPiTEO DISPATCH IS RECEIVED BY LOCAL, JAPANESE EXVOY. Trouble in Northeastern China Is Laid to Party Dressed as Chinese and Coreans. Mounted bandits more than 400 in number attacked Hunchon in north ern China on October 2, killed a large number of Japanese as well as resi dents of the city and burned the Japanese consular office and neigh boring houses, according to a dis patch received from T. Sug-imura, local Japanese consul, from his eov ernment at Tokio. The dispatch said that the bandits were dressed as Chinese or Coreans and some in the uniforms of Chinese soldiers. Among the casualties was mentioned the name of T. Satani, chief of the Japanese consular police, and Sergeant Shibuya, a Japanese. Following the raid, the Japanese dispatched troops to the scene and restored order. Mr. Sugimura also received a dis patch from the Japanese government denying the report that Japan was attempting to 'wrest control from China of districts along the line of the Kastern Chinese railway by giv ing assistance to bandits operating in that district.

Equality of cservice and unrestricted access to all parts of the world were set forth as the object to be sought in inter national communications by Under Secretary Davis today in welcoming delegates of the five allied and asso ciated powers to the first preliminary session of the international communi cations conference. Questions of strategy and selfish interast would not be supported by the public, he said, in the co-operative effort to increase communication facilities for every country. Delegates from France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States were present, it being the first conference in which the United States has participated formally with the allied powers since the conclusion of the Versailles treaty. It was called by President Wilson some months ago. with the approval of congress, as a result of the decision of the council of five in Paris in 1919 to leave all location of the German cables and questions affecting international com munications to such a body. Cable Allocation to Be Made. "Aside from agreeing upon the al location, of the cables ceded by Ger many, which is one of the primary questions to be settled at this confer ence," Secretary Davis declared, "it is believed this conference , will also be able to arrive at a common under standing relative to more important aspects of the problem, namely, the increased efficiency in existing cables and unhampered facilities for the es tablishment and maintenance of addi tional cable and radio service through out the world." Developments in recent years, he continued, have brought a realization of the vast importance of one effi cient and rapid interchange of inter national communication. World rnderxtanding Urged. "The more the people of the world can understand and appreciate those of other parts' of the world the fewer causes of misunderstanding there will be and unnecessarily the fewer causes for conflict," he said. "This can only be accomplished by the most ample and unhampered news service and commercial intercourse." Secretary Davis recalled that the United States government in 1862 in stituted a movement for uniformity and equality of world postal commu nications. "It is, therefore," he added, "an especial satisfaction to the United States that the first preliminary con ference to" deal with electrical com munications should be convened in Washington." Allied Envoys Make Responses. , Responses ware made by heads of the allied delegations, who reiterated the hope expressed by Mr. Davis for the promotion of free intercourse be tween nations by means of cable and telegraph. ' Upon motion of Ambassador Shide hara, chairman of the Japanese dele gation, Secretary Davis was made president of the preliminary confer ence. M. Lanel, minister plenipotentiary and chairman of the French delega tion, was made vice-president. It was decided that the conference should function, largely through com mittees, with only occasional general meetings. Committees were named on disposition of the German-seized cables, consideration of the radio pro tocol drawn up by France, Great Brit ain, Italy and the United States in 1919; drawing up of an "universal communications union," embracing radio and telegraph; formulation of a code of international radio and law to embrace cabj landing rights, and on consideration of plants for the pro motion of communication facilities between the allied and associated powers. Postmaster-General Burleson rec ommended that general meetings should be open, but this question was still under debate when the delegates went into executive session and no conclusion was announced. The committees will hold their first meetings Monday. J3L Elks Initiate New Members. KELSO. Wash., Oct. 8. (Special.) A class of more than 50 new members was initiated by Chehalis loripe.
