Hunger Strikes in
Switzerland Cause
Serious Rioting

Berne. Aug. 1a-Strikes which have
been occurring in Switzerland have
consisted mainly OF organized protests
against the high food prices. They have
mostly been only partial, with demands
for shorter hours and increased wages.
At Lugano, however. there was gem
eral strike, which was serious while il
lasted. though not disorderly All the
shops were closed, Milk was distri-
buted by the municipality. but bread
was temporarily unobtatnahle. Wages
in LSugano have not been raised to
meet the Increased cost OF living and
it Is more difficult to obtain milk and
hutter there than in other parts of
switzerland.
4 feeling exists among the people
that they have to suffer because of
the export of food to Germany in ex-
change for coal The strikers demand
ed an increase in the bread, rice and
cheese rations for the working classes
and a reduction of them for the rich
and also the suppression of the practi-
cal monopoly in certain kinds OF pro-
visions for the hotels. which are
crowded. The authorities and employ
ers faced the situation calmly and sen
sibly, so that there was no grave dis
order
The Council OF Trade Unions has an
nounced that all workmen throughout

general strike. Even the masters Of

was the work OF "jeunes SociaIfstes,

HUNGER STRIKERS
STILL HOLDING ON
Reinforcements Are Preparing in
New York 10 Invade the
Capital.

Washington, Aug 19.-The twenty
hunger striking suffragettes have
completed the fourth day of their
strike in the Jail here and are still
holding firm to complete their SEN
fences, some of which run as high as
fifteen days, on the strike.
District authorities are watching
them carefully and may begin forcible
feeding within the next two or three
days. No statement is available from
them on this.
''To discuss the suffragettes is play
ing their game" said Comm issioner
Brownlow. himself a suffrage advo
cote, but opposed to the militants.
That's just what they want"
He refused the application of their
attorney for transfer of the women
from the abandoned wing of the jail
to some more sanitary place.
We've spent $4,000 fixing that
place" he said. Its sanitation is
good. If there are bad doors there it
is because of the womens own care
less or deliberate planning. We've
put them there because during their
last imprisonment they took turns
screaming by squads all during the
nights. The other prisoners COM
planned that they were being sub
jected to cruel and unnatural punish
ment when confined in the same cell
house with the suffragettes. They'll
stay right where they are"
The suffragettes are still sick and
blaming their condition on the I'M
sanitary and cold Jail. The District
authorities suggest they took emetics
into prison with them and took them
the first night to bring about the
symptoms OF poisoning that at once
developed.
Word at headquarters today was
that at least sixty women will come
from New York later in the week for
