PARIS, oct. Especial to The Bee.)-
Labor troubles are increasing and there is
very little prospect OF restoration of
industrial affairs to normal conditions, The
government fears outbreaks of the most
serious kind before peace is restored.
| Employees in nearly every line OF work
seem to be strike even to the pail
bearers, besides other employees Of the un-
dertakers and also the gravediggers. The
coffin makers struck a few weeks ago.
Clement Vautel OF the Matin gives some
witty views about these strikes, sayings Il
don't disapprove OF the coffin makers
strike, but when these men have obtained
satisfaction, the price of collins will go up.
Living has become more expensive and now

Rights Of Woman.
Four years ago a congress. in which four
teen different countries were represented,
was held at Berne. to take measures to
prevent the employment Of women in GER
tain industries at night. Fortunately such
a law has just been passed in France.
Great Britain. Germany. Austria. Italy, and
Luxembourg, Holland. Portugal, Switzerland
and Sweden. Night work has been for
hidden since 1892. and this has been more OF
less complied with. The important thing
about this law is that as II forbids the
, labor OF women in certain industries In the
surrounding countries they can no longer
