Vienna, Sept. 1.
The Italian authorities are reported to be taking drastic measures to cheek the desertion of Austrian- born youths of military age, who are crossing into Austria from South Tyrol to evade mobilisation orders. Such desertions are increasing daily. It is stated that they have already exceeded 1,000.
In the village of Purtinig, from which eight men have deserted after being called to the colours, soldiers arrived in four tanks and arrested the entire families of the deserters.
Similar action was taken by the police at Auer, where ten men deserted.

TRADES UNIONISTS IN CONFERENCE
TACKLE UNEMPLOYMENT
SITUATION
London, Sept. 1.
Problems connected with unemployment figure largely in the agenda for the Trades Union Congress, which opens at Margate to-morrow, one of the resolu- tions to be submitted asking the General Council to oppose any suggestion that unemployment can be solved by dismissing women from paid employment.
Another resolution, while welcoming proposals for the provision of work for the unemployed providing that Trade Union rates and conditions are observed, emphatically condemns the action of the Commissioners for special Distressed areas in establishing schemes of work and compelling local authorities, as a condition for the receipt of necessary grants, to enforce lower rates of wages, as well as inferior conditions, than those duly negotiated by the Trade Unions.
The National Union of Agricultural Workers puts forward a resolution calling upon the Government to introduce immediately legislation bringing all persons engaged in the agricultural industry into unemploy ment insurance, "in order to protect agricultural workers against the worst effects of unemployment during the coming winter."
