We have already announced that meeting took

fixing the day OF the new conference.
We are assured that the measure OF NJ Frere-Or

pare a project which shall express the views OF

lFrom the London Shipping Gazette, April 1o.l
Tne entire coiery district around Mons has be-
come scene OF Industrial desolation. No further
disorders were reported up TO sunday, but the
strike had SO greatly extended that perfect armies
OF workmen were assembled In different parts of
the country. The International Society makes no
secret OF Its share In this industrial quarrel A
manifesto OF violent tone been circulated In the
district during the last few DAYS; but no special
grievance Is complained OF. The tyranny OF masters
and the oppression OF workmen are the topics upon
which the committee enlarge. 1t appears, how.
ever. that the old wages diflcuity was the
pr0xtmate cause OF the strike. Business
has been bad In the Mons district for
some time, and the wages OF the workmen have SUI
ered by the depression Their discontent has been
gradually rising TO crisis. The International SO.
cicty has not failed TO profit by their mutinous dis.
position. Several days ago the men employed In
one OF the pits demanded an increase OF wages and
on refusal ceased WORK. Others followed, and by
Friday the strike was general throughout the Bo.
rinage. The macontents did not hesitate to intimi-
date their companions. The men at least Of one
colliery were obliged TO come up and Join the rest
Only one conflict with the soldiers has taken place;
the troops were assaicd at Frameries, and formed
square. nrng from one side, and killing two per.
sons All traces OF the first strike at oeraing have
disappeared.
