180 Million Lire Bid
For Masterpiece
Rome, Feb. 5.--An unnamed Milanene in- dustrialist has offered 180 million lire for Michael Angelo's last masterpiece statue of the "Mourning Madonna."
The statue has been offered for sale by the heirs of its last owners. Count Robert Sanseverino, who died in 1846. Two enalitions are attached to its sale. 11 must not leave Italy and the Italian Govern- ment will be given two months to match any final bid. The Matue, a marble figure of the Madonna mourning the dead Christ, is known as the Rondan!oi "Piela." I stood for many centuries in the court- yard of the Rondanini Palace, in the heart of Rome. But the Milanese industrialist's bid will prob ably not be enough, since art experts estimate the statue-390 years old--to be worth the equivalent of £150,000-Renter.

an alarming disturbance, and resolution giving assurances that there would be no repetition of that sort of behaviour. The Tramway men appear to be determined to try and dictate all along the line. The attitude has characterised their negotiations with the management in the current disputë, and now, apparently, they feel they must maintain the same posture with the Authoritles, Amongst other things they demand the immediate und unconditional termination of Police occupation of their union headquarters. They are not entitled to any such con- cession. Only the most solemn assurances that the premises will be used in a lawful Authorities manner would justify the handing them back to the Union. The Tramway men, seemingly, are not disposed to give such promises. Therefore, in the interests of public safety and order, they should reninin under the guardianship of the Police. The strikers also require "full to the compensation for damage done Union's premises and others" yet they offer no evidence in the first place as to what damage, if any, has been coused by last week's Police action, nor. do they realise that if there were any damage, they, by their frresponsible behaviour. wore the original cause of it. “A third demand is for an official public apology,

That is the simple explanation for the Police action which the Tramway men so vehemently criticise, and until and unless these workers realise the necessity for behaving in a manner that does not violate the laws of the Colony, they must expect the Authorities to take a strong line. In fact, any weakening on the part of the Police In the carrying out of their duties to preserve pesce and the safety of ilfe and property would, quite rightly, pro- duce strong public protests.
