STRIKE IN FRANCE
IS DECLARED OFF
Premier BRAND Breaks Back of
Trouble, and Settlement
Is Made
MEN GET CHIEF DEMANDS
0utrages Are Frequent but Are
Attributed by Police
to Anarchists
NEN GET CHIEF DEMANDS
CAssooiated Press,

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE strike commit
tee of the railway union at meeting
tonight formally called Oft the strike
of the railroad employees. which has
extended over several of the most i'm
portant systems in France.
Work will be resumed on all lines to-
morrow. The collapse of the strike
was primarily due to the stringent
measures taken by Premier BRAND,
who called to the colors the majority
of the strikers, thus compelling them
to do service as reserves. The pre-
mier also placed under arrest many
of the strike leaders and used the
military forces without restraint for
the protection of life and property.
After having broken the back Of the
strike NJ. BRAND successfully ar
ranged a practical settlement, whereby
the chief demands of the men were
met.
Bomb outrages in connection with
the railroad strike reached a climax
today in an attempt to wreck pas
senger train at Versailles.
A bomb was thrown at the entrance
of the tunnel to the Chantiers station
at the moment a passenger train was
due from DreuX. The bomb struck the
limb of a tree, and bounding off, land
ed beside the tracks, exploding with
terrific force.
CONSPIRACY CHARGED
This and other outrages have spurred
the authorities to new efforts. The po-
lice attribute the bomb throwing to
anarchists and fighting revolutionists:
They do not think the rank and file OF
the strikers are responsible. The ire
quency of the attempts convinces them
they are confronted with far reach
ing conspiracy.
Attempts at train wrecking are re-
ported from various parts of France
and serious catastrophes have been
narrowly averteo. Dynamite was
found today strewn along the tracks
near Mirames and an attempt was
made to blow up bridge spanning the
river Loire near by. A bomb was
found near a bridge at Firminy, which
was intended to explode upon the
passage of the first train. Another
bomb was found IN fGs1 class coach
of a train near Reuilly. 1t contained
enough dynamite to blow the train to
atoms.
The police have arrested several ad-
ditional strike leadersFon the charge OF
fomenting disorders. A large number
of strikers have been sent to prison.
The garrison of Paris, which has al
ready been reinforced, was further
strengthened today by two regiments.
The troops will be employed to protect
property.
six hundred women, wives Of strik-
ers, attempted to parade tonight. They
carried placards, summontng the wo-
men of France to oppose "the scandal
GUS opuIence of the fnanciers" and
help to alleviate the misery Of the
small wage-earner.
The police dispersed the women, ar
resting several.

LINERS FAIL To REPORT
SEEING WELLMAN AIRSHIP

tanks strung on a steel cable and
reaching down to the sea, where it is
rising and falling with the expansion
and contraction of the hydrogen in
the great gas bag due to differences of
night and day temperatures. 1t is
supposed to keep the airship within a
narrow range of altitude, and to avoid
the necessity of letting gas out of the
bag when the heat of the midday sun
would carry 1t to too great a height.
This device is the invention of Melvin
Vaniman, chief engineer of the Amer
lea. His idea in filing the iron tanks
of the equilibrator with gasoline was
that as the buoyaney of the airship
grew less, the tanks could be hauled
up and their contents used in the mo-
tors, thus gradually lessenlng the
weight to be carried.
The equilibrator was one of the chief
problems of the venture and it is not
surprising that it should make trouble
in the manner described by Mr.. Well
man.

ONE-FOURTH OF WAY

With the tail of the equilibrator drag
ging over tho tops of the waves at a
speed of 20 knots an hour, it would not
be safe to run the engines of the air.
ship, and thus increase its Jerking"
The unsatisfactory conduct of the
equilibrator is probably what he re-
fers to in saying the outlook is not so
favorable
If Wellman was in the air at 9:1S
o'clock last night he equaled the mark
of 81 hours of continuous flight in a
dirigible, which was set by Count
Zeppelin and has not heretofore been
approached by any others.
At sunrise today, Wellman had al
ready covered about a fourth of the
distance to ireland, according to COM
putations of probabilities as figured by
balloon experts here. They figure the
balloon had made about 400 miles at
1 D. m. yesterday, and that the con-
tinuing strong west wind would drive
it for the next sixteen hours at the
rate of is to 20 miles an hour.
BY o'clock this morning then, it
must have been nearly 700 miles from
Atlantic City, or approximately one
fourth Of the way across the Attain
tic.
From Atlantic City to the nearest
point on the coast of Ireland is about
2S00 miles.
