And it can be settled without ralsms
the question of wages it the strikers
are convinced that they have main-
lained their position updpbeox} r3008-
nnzed as constituting a. serious proo-
lcm for the authorities.
The metal workers of this city WON
on strike. ,. They wanted an increase
in pay and better-conditions. There
was violence only when the Govern-
ment took over the police function;
front the Masor of Eavre. and sent in
ooldlers. 7
“At' last we are being recognud."
was the spoken thought of the strik-
ers. "Nowlet us show the world tint
we are being. recognized." 50 they
started in tolhmsethe city police;
the mounted police and the troops.
The baiting took the shape of tountfl.

“No civilians can flaunt our power.”
sold the oulcers in charge of the sol-
dlers. “Our position must be main-
taingd and recognized." So they stood
their ground. stood the taunts, while
some one sent for the mayor.
This official hurried to the scene of
the encounter. The strikes. voicing
their rights as citizens and men to
walk through the streets. persuaded
him to ask the soldiers to retire. "But
now can we?" asked the soldiers.
"We hex-e our position to maintain.
We cannot sacrifice our self-respect
as officers and servants of the Govern-
ment." The mayor, being a diplomat,
unally persuaded the soldiers to With-
draw fifty root. and this made it pos-
sible for the strikers to exercise their
rights as men and promenade in front
or their headquarters.
Set up by their victory. the strikers
soon began again to badger the sol-
dlers. This was too much. and after
due warning the troops opened fire.
l‘lie workers answmed with pistol.
About 100 men, strikers and soldiers.
were wounded. The blood letting re—
lieved the tonseness of the situation.
rho workmen had proved themselves
worthy of the recognition accorded
them. and the armed forces had done
their duty.
But the outbreak of violence was
duly investigated. and the mayor's re-
:eptlon room was used as a. stage to
dramatize the Situatmn. To this of-
:ice came several strike lenders—rep-
.‘csentatlves or the Longshorcmcn‘s
L'ninn, the chief of the detective
.‘orce. military officers the chief of
amoral members or the National Par-
lament. and a large number of news
rnprr representatives.
There the "situation" was rehears—
.:d. All hands talked at once. The
mayor attempted to reprimand one
-v."!'ici:ll for not having carried out in-
structions in ari‘ést curtain strikers.
“his official. wearing a flowing mus-
'ochc and slde-whlskcxs of the Dun-
‘lrenry type. had remained without
speaking {or half an hour. As the
mayor began to talk. he raised his
‘mnd wearily and protested: “Mon-
dour le Mair-3." he and. "you don't
understand I am very tired. An at-
tempt was made to kill me. As well
as Mossimlni the strikers. {toogihggefi
Torr reunion no m’n’fnffln?f
At the word "position." the mayor
stopped rocrlmlnatlons. "Indeed. it is
true." he slid. "Each of us must
maintain his dignlthy. his position."
This closed the proceedings.
There was some talk. a day or so
later. on the. part of the striker of in-
vading the fashionable watering place
of Dcarvllle, close to Herve. but as
they felt they had, on the whole.
maintained their positions. most of
them went back to work without rais-
ing; the question of wages.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.——-A big
tank truck transporting gasoline was
blown up by a terrific explosion 'on the
rtreet recently because a passerby who
didn't know what he was doing pick-
ed up a piece of chain. He saw the
chain dangling by one end from the
truck and though he would possibly
cnve the truck from being wrecked

While the gasoline is poured into
