LONDON. March 31.----A strike oc- cured among the workers in the mt nition factories today. at Clyde. which promises to seriously hamper the ac- tivities of the British government. and may result in the slaughter of thousands of soldiers in France. if not the defeat of the British forces there.
 Practically every man in the huge factories devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, have walked out. demanding q large increase in wages For some time there has been an agitation among the workingmen, who allege that the proprietors of the munitions plants are making fabulous sums from the manufacture of shells and cartridges. and they demand that they should share in these profits, notwithstanding the fact that tho wages are the highest ever known. Even in the factories operated by tho government the men have quit work, hoping that the complete shutting of of munitions will compel the private manufacturers to increase wages, and that the government will follow suit.
 Government officials are much wor- ried over the matter, and a session of the ministry has been called to con- slider the situation.
 As yet there have been no disturb ances, or any attempt to destroy any property.

 In the meantime the steamer con- |tinued OR her course. so that she did mot attract the attention of passing ships. and the captOr directed tho course until the vessel was off the Delaware Breakwater. where he or dered the steamer headed inshofe. and compelled the Captain to lana him.
 He remained on the breakwater until one of the Coast Guard ships picked him up and brought him into port.
 The stoyaway is believed to have been one of the men from the in termed German ships in New York. al- though he refuses to make known his name or where he resides. The pris- Oner claims that he is a German spy, but the police believe that this part of his story is untrue. and that he is undoubtedly insane. He declared it was his intent to blow up the ship, but when the time came he lost his nerve.
 The federal authorities have been notified of the facts.
