metal workers respectively. The officers
commented favorably on the spirit of the
trade and the determinatiun Of the men to
maintain the demand for an eight hour day.
Approximately. the average number Of
men In each trade who are rallying to this
movement II two-thirds.
Crowds gathered in the Place de Ia Rfpub-
liqre this afternoon. The police were re-
enforced. Later n company Of dragons
and one Of infantry took Positions near the
abor Exchange. The police, in small
groups. rapidly patrolled the streets, not
allowing any one to stop for an instant.
There was no attempt at disorder.
Workmen held several meetings in the
exchange, but dispersed the moment they
emerged. Six thousand working jewellers
held n meeting this afternoon in the Labor
Exchange in perfect order. They resolved
to continue the strike to the bitter end and
protested against the brutality shown by,
the police Yesterday. They sent their felici-
tations to Lieut.. Tisserapd Delange, con-
demned TO dismissal from the army, after
imprisonment for sixty days, for siding with
the strikers.
The Temps, referring to the strike, in
clines to the view that it has been less sue
cessful than the Confederation Of Labor
would desire. 1t admits. however, that il
ia too early to form "A definite judgment.
Some of the works are absolutely vacant.
while others are full of activity. Several
arrests have been made in various parts
of the capital of strikers who weie trying
to persuade workers to quit their oh. The
Temrs concludes by saying that the real
tendency Of the movement will not be
known before Tomorrow.
Thirteen policemen and genda rmes were
wounded yesterday and sixty persons were
trea ted in the ambulance hospital. One
hundred and fifty Of the persons arrested
were detained. OF these evenly were for
eigners. mostly Russians, who were ca
RELIED from the city to-day.
In view of actual events it IL interesting
to read the address made by NJ. BRAND,
Minister of Inst ruc,ion. to the electors of
St. Etienne, in which he says
my ideasarc unchanged. My programme
is not altered, Such as | was when | pre-
sented myself before you four years ago |
am to-day. As Socialist and Republican
appeal to all Socialists and all democrats.
Let them decide on my ye sterday's acts
and the guarantees such acts give for to-
morrow. Conscious Of having fulfilled my
duty as a faithful delegate, | await the ver-
dict confidently. Long live the Social
Republic"
1t is we'll to recall that BRAND was one of
the earliest advocates of n general strike,
