Paris Now Tied TN.

Paris, May 1.-THE first day of
the postmen's strike passed peace
fully. There were no serious dis
turbances reported and the move
ment appears not to have gained any
great Roadway, although to great
extent the service is tied up. The
city today resembled a city in state
of seige. During the night soldiers
took possession of the postal tele-
graph stations and by daylight
squads of infantrymen picketed
every branch of the office to protect
the employees, who were willing to
work. Soldiers were even stationed
in the sewers to prevent the cut
ting of the wires. About 500 mill
tary telegraphers and several hum
dred automobiles are massed in the
galleries of the Des Machines ready
for instant use. The military gov
ernor of Paris has about $4,000
troops in reserve. Walls-and bill
boards were today covered with
posters on which it is announced
that the strike will continue until
the employees grievances are re-
dressed. Eight strikers have been
arrested for attempt to enter the
central bureau.

firm Of Buell. & Gardner. of Rapid
| City. and w. G. Porter, of Sioux
Falls, representing the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
pany, have filed the first referendum
petition of the laws of last winter,
presenting petition with more than
$4,000 names to refer the electric
headlight law to the people at the
next general election. The new law
requires that the railroads of the
state equip their locomotives with
high power electric headlights and
the railroads claim that these are
not necessary and in fact are detri-
ment to railroading.

CANNES. Up to Thursday night
about sixty tags had been put out
by Chief Gum. He has reached the
conclusion that there are a number
of stray dogs in the city, dogs that
have no particular home, as he puts
it. Thursday afternoon Chief Gum
approached Rapid City man and
asked him if he was ready to take
out license and the latter came
back with a statement that he did
not own a dog. His attention was
called to the fact that a canine was
following him and he admitted the
fact, but said that the dog belonged
to some other person, although it
had been following him for three
DAYS.

Strike to Spread.

Paris, May ia tribulent ses-
sion Of the chamber of deputies to-
day ended in a signal victory for
Premier Clemenceau. The govern
ment's policy in regard to the postal
employees strike was emphatically
endorsed by vote of asa to SO, in
Guiding also the insistance that the
postal employees have no right to
strike. The strikers received the re-
buke with shrug of the shoulders,
declaring that it only served to bind
them closer and that they will soon
startle the country by big increase
and rapid extension Of the general
movement. 1t is estimated that the
government has other plans in view
Of offsetting the serious growth OF
the strike. There was little change
in the situation Thursday unless in
in the direction of a weakening of
the strike sentiment

4 Announcing his intention of voting
in favor Of the measure, Bailey de
clared that he regarded the duty
a revenue measure. He held thai
such action would not affect the pros.
perity of the United States Steel cor.
poration. He held that a better
way to deal with the organization
was by the enforcement of the anti
trust laws and he said further that
he expected to see the measure en-
forced. The feature to the opposi-
ton to the duty were centered about
the contention that the removal of
the duty would result in a benefit
to the owners of iron ore deposits in
Cuba, consisting of Charles M.
Schwab and his associates. For
the first time there was a suggestion
looking to the fixing of day for a
vote, but it came to naught through
the objection of Beveridge, of In
diana.

Bailey today in referring to the

with violating these laws. When

courts would send these violators to
the penitentiary. This would work
like magic. If millionaire values

is his liberty. l expect to see the
