A OHE-DAT REGIME,
GENERAL STRIKE FOLLOWS.
(Received 11.30 a.m.)
KOME, May 24.
There have been, grave industrial troubles and ugly incidents amid the unemployed agitations in the north-east provinces of Caraia. 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 a 9 a protest against the Carnia incident. It is aggravated by the bellicose attitude of the railwaymen,even prisoners refusing to work, claiming an eight-hour day. The newspapere view the situation apprehensively, and urge Signer Nitti to show a firm hand, the safety of Italy depending upon that—("Times.")
