SOLDIERS OCCUPY BELFAST
Troops Called Out as Result of Con.
stabulary's Strike.
Has Magical Effect on Resumption
of Business and Merchants
Again Move Goods.

Belfast. Aug. THE troops took pos
session Of the streets of the city this
morning. The first indication Of this
change in the situation was the posting
Of pickets in Custom House square.
Detachments of the AIiddlesex, Sussex,
and Essex regiments were then marched
70 other positions. Thousands OF people
are watching the progress of the military
occupation.
The placing Of the streets in charge Of
the troops had a magical effect on bust
ness. More goods We're moved to-day
than during any week since the strike
began. Some mills which had closed be
cause of the difficulty in carting their
goods reopened to-day.
The strike Of Belfast longshoremen,
which has had such serious consequences
and promises to cause widespread compli-
cations in Ireland. began June p. when
a demand for higher wages was refused
by the employers. Both sides carried
matters with a pretty high hand from
the start.
In spite of the advice Of the lieutenant
of Belfast, the Earl of Shaftesbury. the
employers refused to meet a delegation
Of the strikers or give any consideration
whatever to their complaint, and the
strikers were soon busy looting wagons
and drays on their way to and from the
docks. burning such of the goods as they
did not want and throwing the vehicles
into the water.
Early In July matters were made worse
by a sympathetic strike Of the coal car
tcrs. who also had grievances of their
own. This caused the closing of mills
and factories, and seriously affected the
general business Of the city. But toward
the middle of July the strikers were
showing indications of WEAKNESS. 1.00C
men had gone back TO work, and the end
of the trouble seemed 10 be in sight.
when the constabulary. who had been
/ OverwOrked in the performance OF their
strike duties, struck. to the number OF
30 for more pay. This was July q.
The strike Of the cOnstables gave new
heart to the dock strikers and correspond
! ingly embarrassed the authorities. The
police mutineers were led by a constable
named Barrett who in sending a petition

The lord lieutenant promptly replied

returned to duty meanwhile and did no
overt act on the expiration Of the ulti-
natum, Constable Barrett was dismissed
| other leaders were suspended, pending
charges and the rest of the rpalcupfeuts
were transferred to the country districts
and scattered.
