The problem of adequate transporta-

Production of pig iron on Oct. l was

These figures have lost their great

placarded the streets with an appeal
to all workmen to leave their work.
Two additional battalions of infantry

been ordered to be held in readiness for

There are now 5000 troops under arms

strikers from interfering with the
