GERMANY ! ' ! ' FEARS ]: :!' LABOR TROUBLE
 MAY REAPPEAR

Copenhagen. April 27---Au the Ger man newspapers today indicate a deep and widespread apprehension that a revival of last weeks strike move ment is imminent.
 The whispers of g possible May day strike which came from a few papers yesterday swelled today to a chorus of generalization and appeal to the working men not to allow themselves to be swept on their feet by strike la tho field in the lurch by checking agttators nor to leave their brothers the stream of munitions and supplies
 Ffrst and foremost comes the cff1- cial presentation from Chancellor von Bethmann-HO1lweg, addressed for mally to the federal states but really to labor, and containing both appeal and stern warming against further in terference with the munition work. The ways and means committee of the reichstag indirectly seconds the ap- peal with communication to the army, thanking the heroes ofaArras and the western battle fields and psadg1nE the solid - support of the country in difficult hour.
 A manifesto from the four. big
 miner unions warns, their members against reckless and regrettable ac- ton because of unsatisfactory food conditions and the failure of some municipalities and local authorities to provide the necessary supplement 4nry r1tions. ..Do not permit your eefves in these grave times to be A1n.gged into rioting and strikes is tho key sentence of the manifesto, showing that not merely an orderly Characterization waIkout but actual vio- 1ence iS feared in the great mining and. manufacturing districts of West 4llen and Si1esia-
 Finally there is an official an nSuncesnAuts That a great combing out 6f the war industries is necessary and inlr1inent to revive men for the army. This gives the government any needed Justification for sending to the front lnunttion workers who yield to temp tatton. The announcement declares that large numbers of workmen, for merly exempted from military service 50 as to ksep important industries working, must now be sent to the front. They will be succeeded by men obtained under the military aux Hilary service law and women.
