.POSTMEN OF PARIS STRIKE
THEY WANT HIGHER WAGES.
Three Thousand on strike-NO Mail
Delivered - Has Disturbed Business
A Fight Beween Police and Postmen
took Place-GeneralS Strike Possible.

Paris, May l9.-Owing to the refusal Oh
the senate to vote for the bill for increased
pay for postmen, recently passed by the
chamber Of deputies, about 500 postmen re-
fused to 60 to work today, and later the
whole force, numbering 5000 men, went
out on strike. As result there were no
mail deliveries this morning.
Later the postmen held an open air
meeting around the postoffice and were ad-
dressed by the under postal secretary, NJ
Mougot, who vainly urged them to re-
turn to work. The strikers responded by
demanding an increase in pay.
The postoflice was besieged by business
men this morning, who demanded their
letters.
M. Mougot has arranged for delivery
this afternoon. The sorting is being done
by clerks, who have been placed at the
disposal of the postal authorities by the
commercial houses and banks. The mail
will then be delivered by soldiers conduct
ed by policemen.
The absence of regular mail delivery
has caused great disturbances in business
circles. The cabinet met today, eonsid-
cred the strike and decided to severely
punish the leaders.
Attacked the Guards.
The strikers attacked a post wagon
manned by the Republican Guards, which
was emerging from the postoflice, yester-
day. The police beat the strikers off after
fight in which several policemen were
hurt. A number of strikers were arrest
ed.
In the chamber of deputies today there
was great animation. Several members
questioned the government on the subject
pointing out the inconvenience to Paris
business circles.
The minister of posts and telegraphs, M
De Lombre, replied saying the regular de
livery would be resumed, and even ad
mitted that public service could not BIZ
allowed to be at the mercy of few strik
ers, nor could the latter be permitted tt
impose their will upon parliament and thu
government. ~
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, said the state o
the employees was not such as to allow o
their getting on strike and if the post
men did not resume work they would b.
replaced by others.
A vote OF confidence in the government
was passed, 1888 to $50, the socialist mi
nority in the meantime shouting ant
cheering for general strike

A story comes from Philadelphia to
the effect tina. the beggars in that city
have formed trust. Their object is
to reduce competition. The city will
be divided into districts, and each beg.
gar will have his radius. Each is ex-
pected to pay small sum into the gen.
eral treasury, and if arrested his fine
will be paid. If beggar refuses to
join the trust his district will be flood
ed with competitors. If he persists in
his refusal, well-dressed beggars pos.
ing as virtuous citizens will complain
to the police and have him arrested
This shows what the capitalistic com.
petitive system is coming to.
