THE SOC|ALIS1IC
RIOTS IN BELGIUM
At Namur a Mob Stoned the Police Who
CHARGED on It With Drawn Swords Dis
psrsing the Rioters. The Strike
Movement Is Extending
TIRE MILITARY AND POLICE HAVE
ADOPTED STRINGENT MEASURES

Brussels, April 15.-In consequence OF
the disorders the pupils of several COM
munal schools have been dismissed and
the premises are utilized as barracks
for troops.
All factories and mines at Morlan-
welz, Valare and Mabille are closed.
Socialist disturbances OCCURRED E&st
night at Namur. The mob stoned the
police who charged with drawn
swords. Subsequently a force of gen
darmes scattered the rioters.
The strike is steadily extending in this
city and it's suburbs. especially at Mol
enbeek, where a number of large fac
tories have stopped work. The military
and police have adopted more stringent
measures to preserve order. The bur-
gomaster refused the socialists re-
quest to be allowed to follow their own
devices in burying the socialists killed
during Saturdays riots. Orders were
issued for the procession to be held at
six o'clock in the morning, without
bands or funeral emblems. Otherwise
interment must be carried out at night.
1t is estimated that the strikers in the
Charleroi district now number $4,000.
They have frequent parades there, but
the town generally is peaceful, in ac-
cordance with the advice of the strike
leaders.

day by Representative Ray, of New

that the resolution of Thayer, Massa-

what steps had been taken against the
beef trust. lie on the table. The attor-
ncy generals letter was given i Chair
man Rays report on the resolution
The report quotes Rays letter of April
IL to the attorney general, in which he
asks if his attention had been called to
the Thayer resolution, ii he had been
requested to take any official action in
the matter and If has any evidence of
the existence of such comb nation.
The attorney general aaswcrs the
first two questions in the negative, and
follows with the statement that there is
no evidence that could be classed as
legal evidence. Continuing, the attor-
ney general says:
'It is proper, ! think, however, to add,
owing to my position and the oft-repeat-
ed and circumstantial nature of the al
legations, that the law is being fragrant
" violated, that l directed some time

made by one of the district attorneys of

operations are in violation of the federal
statute.
Continuing the report says:
sit is apparent from this correspon-
dence that there is no necessity for the
adoption CT the resolution. BY reason
of the widespread notoriety in the mat
ter, the attorney general of the United
States has already ordered thorough
investigation.
