RaiIroaders Demand More Pay.

BUDAPEST. April 21.-The strike Of
railway men, which began yesterday on
the Hungarian Western railway, has
become general. and on all the Hun
garian state railways today traffic is
at a complete standstill. The men de-
clare they are willing to return to work
IL their demands for increased pay,
which they claim was promised them
by Premier Tisza, are granted and the
strike leaders reinstated. The railroad
stations are guarded by troops. Nearly
a thousand strikers have been arrested.
A band of $50 railroad men seized a
train at Ria TOrbagy. brought it to
Budapest and reported themselves to
the police. who have instituted GRIM
inaI proceedings against them.
The strike has caused such wholesale
inconvenience that it is considered
doubtful if the government will be able
to force the men into submission.
Moreover. the opposition party in par
lament is espOusing the cause of the
strikers. Negotiations have been
opened between the railway admins
tration and the strikers with a view
to peaceful settlement.
