word that they "would not permit
their comrades to be sacrificed"
Because they fear that the strike
may spread, local merchants have
approached the three strike leaders in

for each of them if they will obtain
positions elsewhere. The other strik-

There has been no disorder since
the strike began and the strikers ln-
sist that they can win their points by
keeping away from the plant. The
company officials today claimed that
several of the older employees had de,

denied by the latter. An We

FRANCE TAKES LEAD.
Turkey Hopes TO Precipiiaie Other
Powers Into Controversy to Re-
lieye Her of Responsibility. 80

London, Dec. 3.-With the truce for
peace negotiations not agreed upon,
those interested in Sst war game TO-
day were busy with speculation on
the probable causes of the delay.
Greece, it was laid, was playing for
time in the hope that Russia might
intercede in the disputes among the
allies over the proposed division OF
occupied territory.
Bulgaria was said to be not averse
to little delay, hoping that Adrla-
nople might fall in the meantime and
thus give her an additional weapon
with which to force more advantage
ou = zee terms.
Turkey, 100, was said to De pursuing
a Fabian policy in the hope that some
contingency might precipitate some
other power into the controversy, thus
relieving Turkey of a share of her re-
sponsibilities.
From d new quarter today came
news of preparation for war. This is
Roumania, which so far has taken no
part in the Balkan conflict. The Rou-
manians, it was stated, are working
to obtain some advantage from the
partition Of European Turkey.
So far they have worked diplomat
ically but troops are being modified
and equipped to take the field and it
is a serted that if Roumania cannot by
diplomacy make Bulgaria recognize
her claims to recognition in the Turk
ish adjustment. she viii try it by
force Of arms.
Paris. Dec. 3.-The French govern
ment took the lead today in warning
the Balkan alliance that their petty
uuarrels over peace negotiations must
not become an open breach. NJ. Ray

formally notified the Greek govern
ment through Athos Romanos, the
Greek Minister to France, that the

garia must be settled
