J) I IliEE UVCQR BEWiDilSTRATm: -S CCCXB) FOR EU.10PEAN CEI1TERS OH MAY 1; PRECAUTIOUS AGAINST iliOTS TAKEN By Sobert X Paris, April 30, L N. S.) Apprehen sions are Xett throughout Europe today regarding the possibility of Disturbances tomorrow May Day. Never in the his tory of organised labor has May Day been charged with such dire possibilities of conflict. - From Italy, "Germany, Belgium, Aus tria and Hungary reports have been flowing into Paris daring the past week foreshadowing huge demonstrations by the working classes, 'who cllra to have been more sorely stricken an nil - re spects by the war than any other class. Everywhere the authorities are watch ing acutely for any evidence ox frgan ised labor disorders. In the Industrial North of Italy Social ists have 4een extremely active through out the whole of this month. The -war nas hit Italy economicaDy with worse effect ihan that suffered by any other great power of the entente group. The consequent suffering of the working class have Tendered the work of the agitators asy. But the gov ernment has taken elaborate precau tiens against serious disturbances. All over the continent - the workers tave declared a general holiday tomor row. Although In France the Socialists are still indignant over-the acquittal of Villain, who shot their leader, Jaures, the workers are expected to pass the day in peaceful demonstrations. The original plan of the general con federation of labor was to nave all feet loyaKy to the pledge of honor given in the treaty alliance uniting our three countries. HIKTS AT COMPROMISE "Regardiag Italian claims, they could not agree with the Italian viewpoint. They said they could assent to making Flume a free and sovereign city only on condition this would be regarded as a compromise and not as a supplement to the clauses of the treaty. "Italy -believes her claims are based on reasons bf right and justice no lofty and solemn they ought to be accepted in their entirety even apart from any in ternal treaty or pledge. -It is futile to repeat to parliament the reasons graven on the very heart of the Italian, but I point oat that If Italy's aspirations are entirely accepted. Italy4 will have a population with a far lower proportion of alien inhabitants than any other state constituted or reconstituted as a result of the great war. PROPOSALS TJfSATISFACTOBT "On April 14 t was given a memoran dum representing the ideas of the Ameri can people, said the premier. X was authorized and requested to communi cate the memorandum to the Italian par liament. X distributed It among the sen ators and deputies, appending my com munication, inasmuch as the memoran dum denied Italy any tight over Dal matia'ansl the islands, according nly complete liberty for Flume and even go ing so far as to break up the unity of Xstria, I did not aeaitate to inform Pres ident WUaon that it was absolutely im possible -to ngree to peace conditions which did not give any satisfaction on those three essential points.';. ,, FIUME ITALIANS SEND MESSAGE T9 WILSON Flume, April 30.
