London, Sfcpt. 8.--Seizure of Italian factories by metal workers as the starting point of a general taking over of industry, Is advocated by Italian extremists at the meeting of the heads of the General Federation of Labor, and the Metal Workers' union and representatives of the Italian socialist party at Milaii, says a dispatch to the Pajly Mail from that city. Moderates attending the meeting have insisted upon an agreement with employers as long as the government does not Interfere. In the meantime workers are In possession of virtually all metal establishments In Italy. Employers are still rejecting claims from employees for last week's wages, which were refused because the workers were in possession of the shops. Strikers at Turin, the dispatch says, have announced that If troops are used In an attempt to drive them out of the factories, they will wreck all machinery. Italian metal workers, says a Rome dispatch to the Herald, organ of labor. have decided that all factories which deny them necessary materials will be occupied. The dispatch quotes the Rome newspaper AvantI as saying If the government interferes, a . general strike will follow. Many of the metal workers In Italy remained Sunday In the factories they had seized, according to a dispatch from Rome, Without their occupation giving rise to any disturbances. Work in some of the shops was again normal In consequence of the employers consenting in advance to accept an agreement, which it is hoped will eventually be reached between the employers and the workmen. Paris, Sept. 8.--Dealing with the situation created by the seizure of factories by metal workers In several Italian cities, a Havas dispatch from Rome says: 'The government, although conscious of the seriousness of the situation, is continuing to refrain from regarding the present demonstrations too gravely, retaining confidence In the good sense of the workers and the conciliatory spirit of the employers. "In Milan the police drove off a party of workers which was attempting to seize control of a factory. "The employers and workers at Tiareggio have reached an agreement, and work will be resumed Immediately."

C.--The Independent Coal Dealers' association of Chicago telegraphed to President Wilson an appeal to intercede with thevlnterstate commerce commission for securing for Chicago a priority order on bituminous coal from West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, Ohio,, and Kentucky. Such an order, sftld the telegram, signed by the secretary of the association, was necessary because of the scarcity of coal in Chicago and the low production of Illinois and Indiana fields, which is being consumed by the railroads and industries as fast as mined, making it a certaintty that the poor and laboring classes will have a hardship in obtaining fuel unless more coal is shipped Immediately.

The submarine, S-5, which was partially flooded, Is being towed to the Delaware Breakwater by the steamer Alanthus. The crew and officers of the submarine are safe aboard the steamer. It was 8 o'clock a. m. when Lieutenant Commander C. M. Cook, who exercised his prerogative of being the last man to leave his vessel, was taken aboard the steamer Alanthus. Nine hours had elapsed since the plight of the undersea boat had been made public through a wireless call, picked up by an amateur operator In Farmlngton, Conn. It was a small bnoy, a development of the world war, together with the vigilant eye of a lookout on the bridge of the transport General Goethals, that gave the 30 men on the submerged submarine S-5 their chace for life. The small buoy, with a bell and buzzer device that can be operated when the boat is submerged, is part of the equipment of the latest type submarines. It was cast loose when the S-5 went down. The lobkout on th^ general Goethals saw it, being a^l^rcted |>y its bell, as well as the fact'that it was not noted on the chart. A small boat, with an officer in command, was lowered from the transport to investigate;, When the buoy was reached the buzzer device could be heard. The officer cut into the connection,' and quickly there came this mes-i sage: J "The submarine 8-5 has been sub- i merged for thirty-fl^e hours. Air isf, running short. Machinery .is damaged. Send for help." This plea was sent broadcast by the wireless of the General Goethals. Among those who responded was the steamer Alanthus which with the army transport stood by the submerged vessel and managed to attach grappling hooks to its stern. Holding the submarine in a vertical position, a hole .was bored through Its plates and air pumped through to the suffering crew, who had almost given up all hope of rescue. In the meantime the call for help; had been picked up by the navy wireless station and by command of Secretary Daniels destroyers were rushed to the rescue from Philadelphia, Newport News and New York. Before fell these vessels had had time to reach the spot word was flashed that all the crew had been taken aboard the steamer Alanthus. The wireless did not tell how the rescue j had been effected or what vessels besides the Atlanthus and General Goethals, if any, had assisted. It merely told that all - were safe aboard the Alanthus. None had been injured, although all had suffered for lack of air. It was 1 o'clock when the first man was tak-, en off the submarine and more than two hours later before Lieat. Commander Cook left his vessel. IRISH GIRLS IN HOT FIGHT Battle Like "Wildcats" In Riot at Belfast--District Placed Under Curfew Ordinance.'

A Boston banker, desiring to re1- cuperate from a season of strenuous work, did what most bankers do, or should do, took a holiday, away from the confines of the city life. Canada was In bis mind. He would make the trip, learn something of the country, breathe of its ozone and return exhilarated both In mind and body. On his return a few days ago, be told the reporter of the Wall Street Journal of the richness of the vast fields of golden grain that he saw on his trip through the Canadian West. Doubtless he broke his Journey into the Canadian Rockies long enough to make an Inspection of them. Who could help It, as from the car window were to be seen miles and miles of golden stocks, ranged row upon row away bftck to the lines of the horizon? He must have done so, for when he got back to the Hub, he was filled with enthusiasm over his trip and what he saw in Canada, and he had to get it off his miniL, It was revfaled in this way: "Canada Is getting strong, recovering by leaps and bounds from the depression caused by war. While unrest and lack of co-operation seem to be holding things back on this side of the border, the Dominion to the north faces an era of unprecedented activity and prosperity. One of the basic reasons for this brilliant comeback is the rich yield of the great northwestern wheat fields." That the crops in Canada, both east and west, are meeting the expectations of the farmers is a satisfying fact, which gives a postive assurance of a yield that will mean millions of dollars to the wealth of the country. There will probably be as pouch as two hundred million bushels of wheat to export, giving an added wealth to the country of nearly half a billion dollars. In all parts the crop yield promises to be abundant, .and with favorable weather from now on there may be expected a harvest that will eijual if not SVCJBSS that of IMS. itj; will doubtless he pleasing to the many.

Western Canada has never known i a failure in crops. There are districts where partial failures have been, but consideration should be given to tho> fact that the country, that portion of It In which the present grain growing lies, is from seven to eight hundred miles in length by half that distance K'M in breadth. Because one speaks of the wonder* t Jji .ful success of grain growing there, "itf there should not be lost sight of the fact that this Is only one item In the wealth-producing possibilities. There Is cattle raising, with all the advan- | tages in every way that It possesses anywhere; the dairying industry Is as- 4*^ sumlng remarkable proportions, and a great deal of attention is given to the " development of this industry, which is Hi^ so adaptable to the country, by both federal and provincial governments.-- Adroettiewent. ,, • .
