the city of Sumrall, and from objection
to doing the work set for him to do,
he took flight, but was rounded up
as an escape" and much more time
added to his account, which he also
had to work out.
In the course of time, it appears
that Robbins had to give about two
years of his valuable time to squar-
ing his account with the city of Sum-
rail-. The duty assigned to Robbins
was the same as that of the head OF
the Panama canal work. The only
difference between the two was that
Robbins had to act as chief engineer
of construction and at the same time
handle the pick and the shovel himself
to push the work along.
The Panama canal chief has yet
six years ahead of him to complete
his job, but Robbins as chief engi-
neer and operator of the steam shovel
used on the canal for the use and
health of Sumrall completed his canal
in two years.

FRANCE 5 BIG
STRIKE ENDS
Postal Clerks Vote to Go Back
to Work and Leaders Put
Blame On Each Other.

PARIS, May 22-The curtain ha:
been rung down today upon the gen
eral strike amid professions by the
leaders, who tried to throw the respon
sibility for the failure on each other
and the defeated postal employees. Thl
end came when a few hundred labor
ers voted to resume work.
The General Federation of Labor
then threw up the sponge, and to-
night issued a manifesto, in which
they seek to cover up their retreat
explaining that the postal employees
were over-confident of the success
of their second strike, (which every.
thing shows was prepared and insti
gated by the government, which was
desirous for an opportunity for
avenging itself against the leaders
of the first strike"
The strike adds that the strikes
of the excavators and other workmen
having sufficiently demonstrated the
solidarity of the proletariat and the
postmen, there was no reason to call
out other unions, notably the electri-
clans, who had expressed their readi-
ness to enter the fight.
With the surrender of the General
Federation of Labor, the strike OF
the postmen, which already had prac-
tically ended, collapsed entirely, and
the few who were still on strike de-
cided to return and try to secure
their old positions.
The postmen and few of the other
unions are now raising a fund from
which to give the dismissed postal
employees $50 a month until they can
obtain other employment.
