LONDON, April 27-The apprehension of
trouble among the workingmen OF the
continent increases as May Day draws
nearer. Here in England, where the
trades unions are led by men Of moderate
views, everything will pass of as quietly
as an ordinary holiday. In some of the
continental industrial centers. where the
labor movement is controlled by men of
extreme Soeialistic views and where the
conditions Of labor are harder, the case is
different Many of the extremists favor
general strike for an eight-hour day,
but the great mass of the workingmen
are not prepared for the severe struggle
which such a movement would entail
But it viii not be the fault of the hot
heads if strikes are not inaugurated in
many parts of Europe within the next
few days.
German workingmen Divided.
In Germany, as a general rule, the
workingmen are divided as to their
course. They had resolved TO observe the
first Sunday in May as May Day, but this
programme has been changed in defer =
ence 70 the wishes Of the workingmen in
other parts Of western Europe, and May /
will he ~al oh ra1 in
in Berlin and other leading cities and
manufacturing centers. For various rea-
sons there is little danger of an aggres-
sive demonstration among the intelligent
workmen Of the cities. But among the
Westphalian miners there is a different
and dangerous spirit, which the moderate
Socialists are striving, so far in vain, TO
keep down. The police and military are
guarding Bochum and other points in the
mining district in great force.
Likely To BE Trouble in Spain.
Spain, although not so well provided
with trades unions as the rest of Europe.
Is more Likely 10 have serious trouble
than other continental countries Disor-
der Is feared in Barcelona and other in
dustrial ceuters. The Barcelona labor
agitator Is fast acquiring reputation as
the most dangerous OF his type in Europe.
What Spanish workmen most want is an
increase of wages rather than a shorten
ing of hours. The Barcelona garrison
has been largely reinforced wit hin the
past few days, and if there should be a
rising it will be vigorously met.
In France and Belgium.
The French government has made
thorough preparations to deal with any
disorder, and is resolved not to make
halfway work OF it. The best assurances
of the peace of Paris, Lyons, and Lille
and other labor centers is that the On.
archists and Socialists understand the
resolute attitude of the government. The
probability Of dangerous labor agitation
in Brussels on May l is somewhat les
sened by the action of the central com
mittee of the chamber of deputies in
adopting for recommendation radical
extension of the franchise, which
amounts to household suffrage and takes
in nearly all the workmen who have set

on the side OF the North in the late war. In
1866 he settled In New ork, and devoted him
