Paris, May 2L-The curtain was rung
down today upon the general strike amid
determinations by the leaders. who tried
to throw the responsibility for the failure
upon each other and the defeated postal
employees.
The end came when few hundred la
borers voted to resume work. The general
federation of labor then threw up the
sponge and tonight issued a manifesto
trying to cover up their retreat. explain
ing that the postal employees were over
confident Of the success OF their second
strike, which everything shows was pre-
pared and instigated by the government.
which was DESTROYS Of an opportunity for
avenging itself against the leaders of the
first strike"
The statement adds that the strikes Of
the excavators and other workmen hav-
ing sufficiently demonstrated the sOlidar-
ity of the prOletsTist and the pOstmen.
there IS no reason to call out other unions,
notably the electricians. who had eX-
pressed their willingness to enter the
fight.
With the surrender of the federation
the strike of the pOstmen collapsed entire
IS and the few still on strike decided TO
try TO secure their old positions. The post
men and few Of the other unions are
now raising a fund from which to give
the dismissed postal employees $40 a month

ogden. May 2L-The above is the ap-
peal the board Of directors of the Weber
club decided to send out to the citizens
Of Utah
The business men and property hold
ers of Ogden contend that if Salt Lake
City desires 70 remain the capital Of the
state, the city should build the state
capitol out of subscriptions from the
business men and property holders. or,
failing to do this the capitol should go
to some other city which is willing 10
prove equal to the occasion BY raising
$3.50 600 or more for q structure
From this action it is believed that
the local club will take action against
the proposed tax Of 1 mill per year for
fifteen years for the purpose OF raising
funds for the construction of a state
capitol. 1t is the purpose Of the Ogden
club to urge the voters to petition the
next legislature to prepare a constitu-
tiOnal amendment removing the capital
to Ogden, with the proviso that Ogden
is to raise a quarter of a million dol
lars for the building Of the capitol.
