EMPLOYERS WAGE
WAR ON STRIKERS
Defense Fund Raised to Break
Up Unions.

Melbourne. April 15.-The greatest in.
dustrial struggle in Victoria since the
maritime strike eighteen years ago is
about to be witnessed. This time II af-
fects all implement workers and the al
lied trades, numbering many thousands
of employees.
The employers have decided to raise a
defense fund to the amount of quarter
of a million sterling and to organize a
vast free labor force to take the place of
the unionist strikers.
The Trades Hall Council has issued an
edict enforcing a compulsory levy of one
shilling a week on every unionist in the
state of Victoria in aid Of the implement
workers strike
These two facts point to serious situ-
alton, and Liberal politicians here take
the gravest view of the outlook. They
expect that the employers aggravation
of the implement workers struggle will
react unfavorably on the referenda vote
to be taken on April 26.
Unless Mr.. Higgins, president of the
Federal Court of Cancellation and Arbi-
tration, should succeed in settling the
dispute a bitter struggle between labor
and capital is inevitable.

ALFONSO TOTTERS
> ON BRINK OF FALL
English Fear for Safety of
Spanish King.

London, April 15.-As the husband of an
English princess and also as a lover Of
sport King Alfonso Of Spain is dear to
the heart of the people of England. so it
is with no little anxiety that the English
note that the Spanish throne is lettering
under the continuous blows rained upon
the royal family by the Spanish Repub-
licans, who confidently announce that
Spain will be a republic like Portugal
before five years have passed, and pos
sibly even before the end of tine present
year
The Republicans of Spain have recent
ly completely altered their tactics. In
stead Of attacking the monarchical sys-
TEN as before, they now attack the young
King, whom they daily describe as a
licentious and vicious idler without any
other interests thar that of enjoying the
pleasures of life at the expense Of his
poor, tax-ridden people.
Day after day they print statements
showing how the King and his family
are draining the country without render
ing any public services whatever in re-
turn. So violent have these attacks be-
come that the advisers of the King have
considered it necessary to take official
notice of them and have published
statement Of royal revenues and expenses
showing that the King and his family
give work and pay wages to more than
5000 families. the majority of whom be-
long to the working classes.
In spite of this the animosity against
the King is rapidly growing. owing to
the fact that NJ. Ursaiz, former secre-
tary of the treasury. stated on the floor
of the Spanish cabinet that the King and
his whole family were a set of embez-
zlers and had had the audacity to invest
most of their private fortunes in the
Spanish national debt.

Berlin. April, 15.-Germany has taken
the first step toward the electrifcation OF

proposals as contained in the estimates
for the ministry of public works, which
embodied an appropriation for sl2,5o0.OO0

There has been electric traction in one
short section, between Bitterfeld and
Dessau, distance of seventeen miles,
for some months past, where a mile a
minute speed has been maintained, and
the experience gained on that line has
been so encoura ging that the ministry of
public works has assented to the pro-
posal of its expert advisers to extend the
process of identification at once to the
important Magdeburg-Leipzig section.

ENGLAND TO HAVE
NO GIANT GUNS
Battle Ships to Retain Arm
ament as Before.

London, April 15.-The Times denies
that Great Britain is to build in the near
future a battle ship carrying 15-inch
guns. Plans for such ships were made.
but have not been adopted. The Times
points out that although Is and 16 inch
guns may be adopted some day, It is
equally probable that the pendulum will
swing the other way.
There is no particular reason why Eng
land should build fifteeners. as she has
four ships just launched and two about
to be launched which will carry 1a5-inch
guns, whereas no other power has any
ship so far advanced which will mount
anything heavier than II inches.
The supposition that Germany is adopt
ing 14-inch guns is based merely on the
fact that one 14-inch gun has been made
by the Krupps, while with regard to the
fourteens for the Texas and the New
York. the Times declares that they have
just been started for the one and for the
other they have not been begun.
