BoME, April 1.-THE strike Of the railway
servants, which began yesterday az a
protest against the Governments Railway
bill dealing with the control Of employees,
became general throughout the country
to-day.
A reduced but regular service Is being
kept up.
Military engineers are running some ofthe
trains. Apparently there Is no danger
Of an all around strike, but the railroad
stations are guarded by troops. The
Government supplied the engineers on the
understanding that at least one train daily
should be run on the principal lines. The
trains take thrice their usual time In making
their trips and the number Of passengers
is limited
1t Is estimated that 70, 900 English speaking
tourists are held up by the strike.
The trainmen have distributed mani
festoes throughout the country explaining
their grievances.
The newspapers and public strongly
condemn the strike and urge the Govern
ment 10 repress it vigorously. Many places
are almost unaffected. The measures taken
by the Government and the lack Of public
sympathy seem to have chilled the strikers.
Nevertheless the disorganization OF the
train service is serious In wide areas. Sew
eral Americans have gone 10 Naples in
automobiles to catch steamers for home.
