 SUFFRAGE STRIKE
Belgium's Nation Wide Move ment Takes on New Phase Papers to Suspend

Brussels, April 1s-Cessation of work by the printers, tomorrow, will bring home to the residents of the Belgium capital the effects of the great na- tional strike for manhood suffrage far more forcibly than the cripplir1g of in dustry in other parts of the country has done. The majority of the five daily papers issued here will be unable to publish, while the others will appear in reduced form.
 Today's estimate of the number of strikers, whether figured by the So- ciaIfst leaders or by the government, makes the total between 250,OO0 and 3T5, 900. The movement maintained its determined character throughout the provinces where the organizers and the Socialist trades unions have generally succeeded in keeping their followers well in hand and have prevailed upon them to remain passive. In a few instances, however, disturbances oc- cured and these were of a minor character, such as window breaking at non-strikers' homes and attempts to prevent men from entering factories.
 In the industrial province Of Hay naut few have returned to work put the number of new accessions to the strike movement fully balances the de- fections.
 Shipping has suffered slightly at Ant werp owing to the lack of hands for the loading of freight.
