PLEAS MADE
TO FORESTALL
RIOTS FEARED
BY GERMANY
Officials Threaten to Send
Munition Workers Who
Strike Into First Line
Trenches.
WHOLE NATION FESTIVE

COPENHAGEN, (via London), April
27-All the German newspapers today
indicate a deep and widespread appre-
hension that a revival of last weeks
strike movement is immediate.
The whispers of a possible May Day
strike, which came from a few papers
yesterday, swelled today to chorus
OF expostulation and appeal to the
workingmen not to allow themselves
to be swept off their feet by strike
agitators nor to leave their brothers
in the field in the lurch by checking
the stream of munitions and supplies.
Hoiiweg Makes Appeal.
First and foremost comes the offic-
ial proclamation from Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, addressed formal
ly to federal state, but really to labor,
and containing both appeal and stern
warning against further interference
with the munitions work.
The ways and means committee of
the Reichstag indirectly seconds the
appeal with a communication to the
army, thanking the heroes of Arras
and the western battle fields and
pledging the solid support of the coun-
try in a difficult hour.
manifesto from the four big min
ers unions warns their members
against reckless and regrettable action
because of the unsatisfactory food
conditions and the failure of some mu-
inequalities and local authorities to
provide the necessary supplementary
rations.
Warns Against Violence.
Don't permit yourselves in these
grave times to be dragged into riot
ing and strikes" Is the key sentence of
the manifesto. showing that not mere
ly an orderly demonstrative walEcut
but actual violence is feared in the
great mining and manufacturing dis
tricts Of Westfalen and Silesia,
Finally there is another official an
nouncement that a great combing out
of the war industries is necessary and
imminent to revive men for the army.
This gives the government any need
ed justification for sending to the
front munition workers who yield to
temptation.
