Rioting By Hooligans Constitutes
Chief Disorder Of British Strike
Today the magistrale bound him over aga.in on his promise to confine his oratory to the House of Commons while the state of emergency lasts.
Papers By Mimeograph.
Efforts of London newspapers to çope with the situation last night ended in utter failure. A few produced small mimeograplied sheets, but circulation was confined to central London, where they were sold on the streets.
As a matter of fact, even if the papers were able to produce a worthwhile sheet, which they were not, they could not distribute it beyond a few blocks of, the immediate vicinity of the office as thé system, of distribution through wholesale news agents prevailing in England, leaves them without their own organization, and the agents and employees are ail on strike.
The Daily Mail tried to circumvent the strike today by Plilnting a big edition'in Paris and sending it to London by air, but after the plane had left Paris the Royal Air Force authorities ordered it to descend at Lympne on the British coast because they feared that thé ground force at Croydon airdrome would strike if an attempt was made to land the papers there.
The government's newspaper, the British Gazette, is already a huge success, the copies having been rapidly eaten up this morning'. The gÓvernment is planning to start the presses again to run off more. Three hundred thousand were printed and circulated ail over the country as well as in London by airplanes and automobiles. They were sold first at the regular penny price, but speculators were asking a shilling a copy toward noon. It is expected that the edition tomorrow will reach eight hundred thousand. Fifteen papers were printed in various provincial towns in the usual form, while the Times, the Daily Maü, the Mirror" j the Daily Express and various other London journals came out this morning in small mimeograplied handbill form.
EMERGENCY ACTS
GIVEN APPROYAL
Parliament Passes Bills
To Preserve Order
(Tribune Press Service).
DONDON; May 5.-Parliament after a day of rest returned today to the strike, the occasion being the approval of régulations made - under the Emergency Pcnyers act design ed to preserve order and suppress sedition. Approval was moved by Sir William Joynson Hicks, Home Secretary, whose depart ment is responsible for police and justice and who is the chief protagonist of the- fighting party in the government. 1
In his speech, Sir William took the opportunity to deny the truth of rumors of rioting throughout the country. "I ask the country to stand firm," he said. "There are rumors of riots here and riots there, but these rumors are untrue. There was one very small incident which has been grossly exaggerated. The country is steady at the moment." Sir William urged the necessity of a(lopting drastic régulations by one of whieh any poli ce>rn an would be' given the right to arrest on suspicion of sedition and police might enter any news!paper printing office and suspend publication if they hâve reason to believe that seditious matter is about to be published.
Situation Satisfactory.
Most of thèse régulations, Sir William said, are merely adaptations of existing law, enabling- them to be dealt with summarily instead of by indictment. Dealing with the present situation he said that railways and' tubes are improving', that 7,900 spécial , constables have been on duty the last few days and 3,035 new ones have been sworn in, that omnibus services are much better and the great majority of the light and power stations of London are working admirably. The food and milk supply is satisfactory.., -
Mr. ArthÜr Henderson. secretary of the Labor party, in reply, said that the g'overnment could end the whole trouble at once by agreeing to a formula to which responsible labor leaders are >
,willing to agréer
"ILis no, use." he said, "to tell us we* are in a state of war. The government is not prepared to talk or to try to find a formula. If this is going to continue to be the attitude of the g'overnment then the condition of the country in the next few days will baffle the imagination of everybody." , .

WILL LAST HOW LONG?
(Tribune Press Service).
LONDON, May 5.—"How long will the. général strike last?" is naturally the chief speculation of ail classes of Britons. Government officiais are of course preserving a poker face, answering ail questions with a sphinx-like "I don't know; it ail depends." On the other hand the rank and file of Trades Union men are willing to advance opinions.
The Tribune interviewed several today . in Eccleston Square, the general headquarters of the strikers. Here it was plainly gathered from the tenor of the conversation that the strike is most unpopular in the mind.9 of ail excep t' the miners who are Ili.rectly- affected. The rank and file of labor confided that they do not believe -the strike will last more than . four weeks and they hope that it will end before then. This estimate is the same as that given out by the more radical Trades Unionists who, however, estimate the duraing that four , weeks will be sufficient to bring the government ~ to its knees.
Nervousness Underneath.
Outwardly there is'calm confidence but it is not difficult to feel the nervousness underneath. Labor leaders are not willing to talk in an officiai capacity. The factr however, that the Trades Union council is refusing to issue any information, regarding the effectiveness of the strike is taken to indicate that it is not' developing as quickly or on as brôad a scale as was expected. The chief of one large union yet unconnected with the strike estimated today that the' tie-up will end within a week. It is impossible, according, to this labor leader, for it to go on any longer, because the Trades Union's finances will not permit.
if is asserted furthermore that the firmness of the government's attitude in meeting the strike is sure to dampèn the spirits of even the most radical strikers within a few days, returning them to saner counsels. It is pointed out that\ the labor chiefs are preserving the utmost silence as to the progress of the strike-because they are unable actuallv to get reports from the country as a resuit of the tie-up of communications which they themselves Pave brought, on. "Meanwhile the government is leaving no stone unturned 1 effectively to maintain services. 1 .
13,000 Volunteer.
In the London area alone thirteen thousand have volunteered to perform any duties. Reports from the country indicate that fifty thousand more have volunteered in the provinces. This ls enabling the governmènt as well as private companies to begin the'resumption of transports, deliveries and other essential municipal services, The underground railway has already been partially resumed. Eight trains this morning established a six minute service on one division of the central London railway.
Comparative Quiet Reigns.
Reports reaching the government show that comparative quiet is still reigning in the mining régions. Sporadic incidents have been easily dealt with by the police to date. Thirty percent of the clerks of the London, Midland and Scottish railroad refused to obey the strike order.
Soviets Halt Shipment
Of Food To England
(Tribune Press Service).
RIGA, May 5—When the English steamship Dago pulled alongside a Riga cold storage house today to take on a cargo of Russian butter which was consigned to England, the captain was informed by an officiai of the local Soviet trade délégation that the shipment had been cancelled by Moscow.
..It is reported here that the Soviet government has similarly halted ail shipments of butter, eggs, poultry and other 1 produce from Russia to England.
The press of Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia is in agreement that the En&:Ush strike will have little effect on local industries, since Baltie factories for the past few months have been receiving large shipments of coal from German and Polish mines, which, are underselling England ; in , the..Baltic ports..

CLASH WITH POLICE.
' LONDON, May !),-The first clash between strikers and police occurred just before two o'clock this morning when a crowd of bystanders attempted to prevent the loading on trucks of copies of thé new British Gazette from the plant of the Morning Post where. it is being published.
Ail night big crowds had surrounded the Marning Past building, giving ' much trouble to the police guarding the building. Early this morning when the trucks backed up to the building to be loaded the èrowd made an ominous movement toward the goods entrance of the building. The police formed up in solid ranks, and drove the strikers, who had apparently beén aug'mented by East End ' Londoners, Unconnected with the strike, up and down the Strand' and into side streets. A short distance from here, in the direction of Fleet Street, one. section of the crowd re-formed, tearing down boards from a fence surrounding an unoccupied building, and prepared to meet the oncoming police with these boards in their hands as weapons.
EDINBUR.GH: Scottish railroads are at a strandstill, but auto-road transport is functioning everywhere. University students are volunteering by the thousands for public sérvipe work.

He showed how the Italians are taking up the exploitation of this new means of power and how Italy is being gradually covered by hydro-electric plants. . ■ The hydrog-raphical and g'eorbg'ical conditions ÓZ the country are capable of being put to great use, Signor Vismara éxiplained. Already the problem of compensating thé winter low waters m Northern-Italy with the h!g'h waters of Central and' Southern' Italy has been solved by thé use of the ëlectric water power.:.- "T . >■
AMERICANS FLY
FROM ENGLAND
Plane Service Quadrupled
As Tourists Depart
(Tribune Press Service).
LONDON, May ; 5—FoUowing » the Prince of Wales' example, American' tourists in England are taking'. to the air to' overcome 'the railroad tie-up. A large portion of the army of visitors fled to the continent Sunday and Monday at the threat of a gênerai strike.. Those, who remained until t the strike -started are now gradually getting out of the country by airplane and continuing their tours in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany,. or returning homeward, ; . reaching . the outgoing Atlantic-liners from London by autobus. " ' '
The tourists.. are not, showing the panie and. anxiety which. characterized the outbreak of war in 1914. There was a big rush of Americans to the offices of the; United States lines today to book passages on the Leviathan for its homeward trip, ils the giant liner 'is due Friday at Southampton. The Cunard and White Star lines also are getting a rush of business.
Plenty Of Planes.
But most of the tourists are besieging the airplane lines, seeking passage to any. destination, so long as it is on the continent. '
"Our passenger traffic bas ,quaclrupled in the last two days. and .we expect it to be sextupled within a , week," an officiai of the Imperial Airways, Ltd., told a Tribune, correspondent this afternoon. "We have enough planes and pilots to guarantee getting ail the remaining American tourists ' safely out of England within a short number of days, by doubling and tripling the number of trips of .each plane..
"We are not making trips to the channel ports because they have no protected lancling fields, and there is danger that the . planes might be damaged. We are carrying baggage< as usual but we are not carrying newspapers from the continent be-
. cause it would be considered as strikebreaking."
Tlie Air Union also reported carrying capacity passenger traffie, including a large percentage of Americans.

W ASHINGTON.-Rumors that the se.cession of Virginia is to be immediately followed by attacks on the capital, and the eeizure of F,orts Monroe,1 Washuigton, and McHenry and the arsenal - at Harper's Ferry have kept the city in a ferment aIl day. The defense of all these places * is being, strengthehed as rapidly. as possibleThé immense number of troops offer,ed to President Lincoln from ail Sections of the north excited the grëatest enthusiasm among the Union men
