By ARTHUR BRISBANE. (Copyrl?*-?. Iti* ) A -caffolding fell yesterday. Three men were killed. When the body of I.-ndor Grossman, brick layer, was lifted from the ground, *?00 in Liberty Bonds, $277 in paper money fell from his po^?et. That .3 better than finding a pawn tacket, or a dispossess nocice, as \ yoa might have done a few years ago. The value of silver goes climb ing up. No wonder W. J. Bryan is excited. It took a big war, how ever, to jo ;t. Today the metal in a silver dol lar is worth five cent.-? moro than the dollar?but _f you me t down the <wliars, to get the silver, you wiii be put in jail. The trouble, they say, is that Chinese art-? hoarding stiver Per haps they ar? -retting read** to fght Japan, want silver to fight with, and put :t away as Prussia gnt mmm\f at Spandau the gold re fer??- that waa to beat all Europe. V Good is a--??mpushed when the accompliaher little dreams it. For instance, the United States Goverrunent has treated Italy shamefully in the war settlement. The city of Fiume, which is Italian, the northeast coast of the Adriatic, that was the property of the people of Italy for centurie?, should have gone to Italy when the war ended. In the days of Cavour, Mazxiri, and the great Garibaldi, the Ital ian nation was swindled by Napo leon ??, later well beaten b7 hM-a Napole?n did not keep his word, did not even allow the Italians to take back Venice fror. Austria. They had to wait for that until Bismarck came along. Napoleon sympathized ?vith the Hapeburgs. r.ot with the HLerty lovmg r-eopie of Italy, so r.e left with Austria the unredeeme-J Ital ian territory WHICH ABSOLUTE LY BELONGS to Italy. The United States show, laek of justice, lack of appreciation for th?.? splendid work mat the Ita-ians have done for liberty and for in? ?mstry in this country, when the lan?a that belong to Ita!> ar* . ha_-_-t- erer to people that won't ? know what to do with them. But, good comes out of evil. A re-pubLic in Italy may be the result of this Republic's unfair treat ment of the Italian people. Italy would be a gamer if iut of the unjust treatment to whi?~h she has been subjected by this eountry a great Italian Repuoltc should arise. That republic will kaow how to get ultimately what belongs to Italy. Mean w m le, may the United States realize that the Italian people of the twentieth century should not be tied down by the tricky deals between the Hapaburgs and the imitation Mapolee?. Every corporation will tell you that Government ownership would be a terrible thi ? ??. So it would, for corporations. For instance, with the war over ine r**?*?"-?1-''' rate of thre-e cents was changed to two eants.

Father O'Donnell, a chaplain in t-he Australian forces, was arraigned be fore a court-martial today at Guild Hall. He pleaded not guilty. Father OTXinnell is accused of say ing in a epf-ech at Killarney that "the Australians fought for the independ ence of small nations, while inde pendence was denied Ireland by a few satellites of the King who were filling their pock-ts at the expense of the workers and on whose heads was the blood of Irish patriots." Lieutenant Chambers, of the Br * ish army, presentad notes in support of the charge against the chaplain. It was declared that Father O'Donnell had further said that he considered "a king and royal family of no use to this or any other country," and ex pressed hope that the recent railway strike waa the beginning of a revo lution. The accused was charged with say ing that King George, evidently fear ing the same (revolution), ordered the premier to quash the strike. Another specification in the charges was that Father O'Donnell had pre dicted that Ireland would "shortly strike against the tyrannical British I Parliament." The chaplain was also charged with saying that sympathy with the 8inn Feinere was growing in Australia Father O'Donnell was arrested in August.

Nov. 26 (delayed).?A hard fight against ratification of the peace treaty, which may precipitate a crisis involving existence of the monarchy, was Indicated here today. Socialist and Catholic deputies, in the recently elected chamber, will combine to defeat the pact, it wa? said. The signal for the fight was expected to be production In the ?"hamper of Deputies of a royal de cree ratifying the treaty, for conver sion into a law. Both the Catholics and Socialists, who f-xhibited unusual strength in the recent election, have ?.pposed the treaty from the beginning. Awaited With -tlUglvlag. The coming session of the chamber is awaited with misgiving. There is no precedent in Italian history for re jection of a royal decree, especially a peace treaty. The treaty right ia a constitutional pcrogativ?? of the crown. Should the Socialist plans succeed, the outcome of such a solemn dis avowal of the King's wishes prac tically would necessitate his abdica tion, in the be'ief of many Italian leaders. Whether the Catholics will be will ing to support the Socialists in a flat showdown against the King is consid ered doubtful by many. On the other haml, it is considered certain they will maintain unflagging opposition to the Versailles treaty, which it wa? said, the Holy See considers contains the source of new wars. SINN FEIN PROHIBITED THROUGHOUT IRELAND All Activities Under Ban By Most Drastic Action Yet Taken By British.

MINERS STANDING FIRM No Breakdown of S.trike Unless 31 Per Cent Raise Is Grant ed, They Say. The Cabinet is battling with the coal crisis again today, ?with the prospect of a final settlement in the next few hours. The Government was to make ite "final statement" to the coal minen? and operators late this afternoon. Dr. Garfield, Fuel Administrator announced. "I will call the miners an-' opera tors together.'-' ?aie Dr. Garfield. "__4 I will make a definite statement to them. It will be the final statement. Further than that I can say nothing" Miners Stand Pat. Miners grimly say that there will be no breakdown of the strike if less than a 31 per cent increase is grant ed them, while the operators are none the less positive in their stand that they must have carte blanche to im pose large increases on the public if the workers are to be given a rais? of more than 20 per cent. If the deadlock continues today. It is evident that President Wilson will have to be called in. The call for a "show down" regard ing the profits and margins of the bi tuminous operators is being voiced In many quarters in Washington today. The coal section of the Federal Trade Commission has pla?ed the bulk of It? data at the disposal of the Fuel Administration since its incep tion in 1917, when Its statistics were the basis of the prfce-fixing program. Pro??? (all??- Too Hl?__. Reports that the officials of the I-ederal Trade Commission believed that Dr. ("artield fixed prices entirely too high during the war period are current, but there is no confirmation of them, ??enerally speaking, however, the published figures of the Federal Trade Commission bear out former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo? dictum that the operators' profits have been "grave and indefensible." Other data relating to the Illinois soft coal fields probably will be pub lished soon by the commission. If the entire bituminous industry is to be investigated by the Govern ment, the nucleus of the work proba (Continued on Page 2. Column 6.)
