PARIS, April 5.-Labor conditions in
France. particularly in Paris. have grown
so menacing since the governments weak
ening in tho recent postmen's and teie-
graphers' strike. that to-day tho cabinet is
seeking exhaustive reports from the po-
lice heads and army commanders as to
their ability to combat the threatened gen.

The big labor demonstration at the
Hippodrome last night. attended by near
" 10000 agitators. at which the organiza-
tion OF revolution was openly advocated
and war coRncil appointed to stir mp
the movement is taken seriously by many
OF the government leaders. Past demon-
stratons by the labor leaders have shown
that they are not In the habit Of making
threats until they are prepared to carry
out their plans.
NJ. Pataud. general secretary OF the
Electricians Union and one OF the Lead
ers in the General Labor Federation, and
other Of the leading agtators are being
constantly shadowed by government
agents. In this work the government has
introduced a spy system that rivals that

As soon as the government feels Itself
strong enough TO resist the threatened
strike the leaders win be arrested. There
Is enough evidence against thom now but
the authorities are afraid to act
Grave fears are entertained as to tho
loyalty OF many divisions Of the army. As
a result OF last nights meeting It is cer-
tain that the governments attempt to reg
ulate the activities Of its 100000 employees
with especial reference TO their rights to
form unions and declare strikes, will be
vigorously opposed by the strike advo-

FEAR ENGLAND
AND GERMANY
MAY CLASH

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, April 5.-Fear OF an eventual
clash between England and Germany took
tangible form to-day in an increase Of
Iioyd's Insurance rates against such a
war from eight to ten per cent. The un-
derwriters declare that yalile there are no
immediate symptoms Of hostilities the gen.
eral trend Of affairs is alarming.
The new Insurance that Lloyds is writ
ing is against war before March 81, 1910
The increase in insurance rates and the
general uneasiness are attributed directly
to Germany's activity in naval construc-
tion. Germany has but one idea in bending
every effort to outstrip England in the
construction of Dreadnaughts, in the opin.
ion OF English diplomats, and that Is
eventually to contest with England the
latter's long supremacy on the seas.
