arrangements 70 secure unity o. action
/ between the various authorities Al
/ though il is expected in Official circles
that the day will pass over euietly. every
precaution will be taken for a prong %
and ruthless suppression OF disorder.
The troops will be kept within their
barracks u order 10 avoid a collision
with those taking part in the oelebra-
tions, but they will be ready 10 aet II
required.
The strikes that have taken place
/ here include shoemakers. stone-layers.
coopers, screwm akers, furniture poll
ishers, drsinnen and boKmakers Prep
arations for strikes are being made by
carpenters. tinsmiths locksmiths. ma
chinists. printers, coppersmiths and a
number Of the minor trades. Reports
from Frankfort, Breslau, Elberfeld and
Ham burg show that the strike mania Is
! universal.
In Austria the authorities are bent
upon a policy OF evaporation. Only the
other day they give the workingnen
in G2lioia a taste Of their quality
by treating ord dinavt street brawls
as organized riots and shooting
down unarmed and unohending men
and women. The Governors OF prov
iucss have been publicly and ostents-
tiously reminded OF their powers OF pro-
claiming martial law, and military on
GERS have been ordered TO disregard the
merciful formality of firing blank cart
ridges at mobs before resorting 10 bull
lets.
In Hungary the authorities have been
acting with much more discretion, with
the result that class bitterness is less
marked than in Austria. Some Govern
ment departments have been granted .
1st of Nav holiday, and IL the working
men comport themselves with reason
able prudence the day may pass without
trouble.
In London there will be no inter
/ ference whatever with the demon
strators, and the only measures of pre-
caution will be the keeping OF troops in
the barracks and the police out of sight
but within call in case OF emer-
| gency In England, however, the
state OF affairs is very different
| 10 what 1t was week ago.
Trades unionists have conquered So
ciaiiSm, with the result that the demon
strations will be held throughout the
country on Sunday, May 4, instead OF
Thursday next The extremists may
! muster a few thousand on May l, but
| the great demonstration will be on Sun
day, and it will DO held under the aus
pices OF the London Trades Council
In France the 1st Of May movement is
practically in the hands OF the extreme
socialists and II they should attempt TO
carry out their programme blood
will undou btedly be shed. In Paris
meetings will be held in every available
building, at which petitions demanding
an eight-hour day Will be signed
By tho worl1men, who will afterward
send delegations to the Cham Der OF
| Deputies. Minister of the Interior
| Coustans has decided that these delega-
tions will DO tantamount TO a street pro-
cession, which must be suppressed.
Whatever the Socialists intend TO do,
! Minister Constans means business.
| The garrison of Paris, normally large,
is to be reinforced by eight regiments
from the provinces, and arrangements
have been made whereby the troops At
Versailles. Courbevoire and St Ger
maine will be able to cooperate with
those in the capital at short nstice.
In Italy and Spain, and generally in
the smaller States Of Europe, the situa-
ton has not materially changed from
