SOVIETISM IN ITALY.
A ONE-DAT REGIME.
GENERAL STRIKE FOLLOWS.
(Received 11.30 a.m.)
ROME, May 24
There have been grave industrial troubles and ugly incidents amid the unemployed agitations in the north-east provinces of Carnia. Eighteen communes were seized and the Red Flag hoisted. The Soviet Government lasted a day, and then heavy reinforcements of troops restored order.
A general strike has been launched as a protest against the Carnia incident. It is aggravated by the bellicose attitude of the railwaymen, even prisoners refusing to -work, claiming an eight-tour day. The newspapers view the situation apprehensively, and urge Signor Nitti to show a firm hand, the safety of Italy depending upon that.—("Times.")
