ITALY'S CLAIMS
HAVE BEEN MET
The Labor Troubles and
Rio! at Marion
ITALIANS WILL COME
Ten Arc Now Here, But Since Satis
faction Has, Been Hemlcrecl and
Assurances of Good Treatment of
Workmen GlVWI Arrangement
Have ISeca Made to Send More.
By the Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 16. After months
of negotiation the Italian embassy has
finally succeeded in effecting a satis
factory settlement of the labor trouble'-)
ut Marion. N. C, which culminated !'i
a riot on Hay 14. in which two Italian
laborers were killed. live others wcr
wounded and hundreds of Italian worl:
men were driven Into the mountain.".
The Italian laborers involved In til
.1
trouble were employed by the Spruce
Pine Carolina Company which was en
gaged In laying: tracks for the .South
& Western Railway Company. Before
the pitched battle in which the Ital
ians were killed and wounded frequent
ruittprs reached Washington of wronSfS
Italian laborers were suffering in tin1
camps near Marion. It was said that
men were held practically in bondage,
wire locked in their shanties at night,
and prevented from collecting money
duo (hem.
Stacy of the Riot.
Finally a largo number of the Ital
ian laborers demanded their wages and
announced that they were going to
Pave. Charges of various sol ts were
preferred against the men and slate of
ficers visited the camp with a, number
of citizens to investigate the situation.
The investigators arrived in the night
and went to the houses where the Ital
ians wire quartered. A misunderstand -Ina
followed and shots were exchanged.
Although it is conceded that some of
the Italian laborers fired into the ranks,
of officers and citizens, none of the oit- :
'sens was hurt, and two or the laborers j
wpre killed, wliile, five of their eoinpan-
ions were injured and others chased j
Into the mountains.
Several of the Italian workmen were
ai rested and charged with provoking
the riots. A' this time the Italian em-j
bossy in this city began a thorough in- j
vestigntfon of the troubles. Complaints j
were filed with the state department
that tin Italians were not being dealt
with justly as the local courts in North j
('arc linn were said to be wholly under
the Influence of the railway. The dc
oat tineiP of justice took an active in
!"nst in the case, and the result was
(lie disehuigc of the Italians under ar
rest and the filing of charges of peon
age against the company which em
ployed the men.
A Compromise KA'cctod.
The Ita'lan charge. Mr. Montagntt,
w is consulted by representatives of the
ompany and p compromise was effect
ed whereby the corporation paid dam
ages to the families of the two men
who were killed and made a satisfac
tory settlement with the Italians who
were injured in the 1 lot. The Spruce
Pine Carolina Company was succeeded
by the Meadows Company in the con
struction work and has given the Ital
ian embasssy assurance that workmen
shall not suffer further mistreatment.
For a long time the Italian authorities
have not permitted any laborers to be
sent to the Noi th Carolina railroad
work, and at present there are only
two hundred Italians near Marion. But
a few duvs ago the Italian officials
who arc looking after the interest of
laborers coming to this country were
instructed again , to send Italian sub
jects into North Carolina and it is ex
pected that the work there will soon
be pushed forward again by Neapoli
tans.
Charges of peonage are still pending
against the Spruce Pine Carolina Com
pany, but the corporation has called to
exist as such, and since the recent
troubles have been satisfactorily set
tled the Italian embassy is not dispos
ed to makp further trouble for the of
fleers of that company.

(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago, Nov. 16. Tears and hs
terical denials on the part of women
delegates, who had heard themselves
called "barbarians and murderesses"
marked the close or the convention of
the American Humane Association
last night. The women for half an
hour had listened patiently' whip' J.
Howard Moore, speaking to "the cose
of a skin" bitterly denounced the wear
ing of furs ami bird carcasses. Adorn-
1 t r.f tanMi eKnrnefer was evident
in all parts of the hall.
Apparently unable to listen further
two women finally left the convention
hall. Another burst into tears, While
the husband of a fourth arose to his
feet to defend the aetioni of women who
wore fur pieces.
"Nobody but a barbarian would
adorn her head with the carcass of
a bird or the beads of grinning wea
sels," said Mr. Moore. "Such things
appeal only to the vulgarians. Such
a woman is about as attractive as if
adorned with a string of dried skulls.
She excites pity, for she is a murder
ess. "Furs are the most costly luxuries
because to secure them men must be
the most conscienceless and Inhuman.
When I think that in this day of ad
vanced education and supposed refine
ment, brutalities such as are necess
ary to secure the furs of these little
animals are practiced. I am heartly
ashamed of the race to which I be
long." Dr. William i. Stlllman wes re-elected
