this morning at Jumet, near ,Charleroi, one

Thirty Westphalian miners had been en-

unfriendly manifestations on the part of
the strikers were to be expected,
gendarmes were ordered to escort the
German miners from the station to the
mine. Seeing the gendarmes. the Germans
asked why all that police force had been
put In motion. They subsequently found
out that they were taetuaIly engaged ito
supplant their Belgian. comrades They ex-
pressed great indignation at this news and
fatly refused to work, since they only
had been engaged when In Germany TO
work with their Belgian fellows and not
to supplant them. They decline to go down
the pit and are going to ask the company
