CRISIS IN ITALY.
WORKERS STILL RULE. AN AMAZING POSITION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 16, 5.45 p.m. Rome, Sept. 15. The industrial crisis continues to be most serious. Seizure of property is still going on. The workers have occupied cotton mills at Lonibardy, and wool factories at Biedla and Piedmont, employing- many thousands of hauds. The council of the Italian Confederation of Industries has resolved not to re-open negotiations with the men unless they quit the workshops. The railwaymen and seamen's organisations, however, have decided to transport any raw material to the revolting factories, despite the manufacturers' veto. •Signor Giolitti (the Premier) recently met a delegation of employers, who asked the Government to get them hack their factories. Signor Giolitti replied: "But the workmen are inside, and if they are turned out they will'invade the streets." The delegation replied: "But it is your legal duty to put them out." Signor Giolitti:* "How?" The delegation: "Make a terrible example. Bombavd the factories." Signor Giolitti, with a sardonic smile, replied: "If so, be sure I begin by bombarding your factories."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
