LONDON, April 2S.-The impetus given to
des-unionism by the great strike of the
London dock laborers has never for mo-
ment tagged since the successful issue of
that event. In fact the growth of organ
izad labor during the last six or eight
months has been little less than marvellous
throughout the whole kingdom, and the
harmony of action and unanimity of pur-
pose among the various organizations is
equally wonderful Preparations for the

Tho Irish railway strikes have spread
until they have well-nigh tied up all
freight traffic in the southern part of that
country. The trains between Dublin and
Cork are being worked by clerks from tho
various sections of the country. With Che
help given by these men the company
is enabled to maintain service between the
two cities: 1t is tho intention of the direc-
<nW nf h0 e.
Railway Company to prosecute the signal
men in their employ for leaving
their work without giving any notice of
their intention. Archbishop Walsh has
written letter to the directors suggesting
that they postpone the taking of legal steps
against the signal men until the strike is
settled. He also suggests in the meantime
q conference be held between the directors
and delegates appointed by the railway
employees.
Social and labor disturbances on the
continent thicken as the time for the May

were the most active in favoring incen-
diary action were arrested. The peasants
and laborers at Kal0rnea, in Galicia, where

quell the rioting, and troops are being
hurried to the town. Seventeen deaths

The burgomaster of Murschan has been
threatened with death for forbidding q
demonstration on May day. The burgomas-

not a Jew will escape alive. Nine groups of
Anarchists In Rome are organizing for a
