STRIKE PARALYzES
MANITOBA CAPITAL
THIRTY THOUSAND MEN AND
WOMEN TIE UP INDUSTRY
At WINNIPEG.
General WaIk-out of Workers Leaves
City Ne~siess, PhoneIess, carless,
And Almost waterIess.-Eishty
Unions are Involved.

Winnipeg. Mana general strike OF
more than four score labor unions In
Winnipeg, precipitated by the strike
of the building trades and metal work
ers' unions for recognition from the
employers has caused an almost COM
plete suspension of business. Thirty
thousand men and women are idle AS
a result of the walkout. The city is
newsleSS. carless. phoneless and al
most waterless, all of the newspapers
having been forced to suspend publ
cation as result of the walk-out of
sterotypers and pressmen the street
car men and telephone operators quit
ting work and the waterwOrks EN-
ployes leaving their posts, but citi-
Zens have been operating the water
works.
The city water supply has been so
regulated that the output is considered
sufficient only for domestic purposes.
Strike of the building trades and
metal workers union, which preceded
the general strike, came after unsuc-
cessful efforts were made TO arbitrate
the differences. The union men, seek
ing higher wages, shorter hours, col
lective bargaining, wanted to be repre-
scented at the conferences as union !;
the employers declined to treat with
the workers except as individuals.
When the general sympathy strike was
declared union leaders announced that
sixty unions We're involved in the walk
out.
1t was claimed Sunday evening that
more than eighty locals are now out,
or waiting orders to quit work.
Although Winnipeg is without news
papers or press association news, as
well as commercial telegraph service,
it is known that the local union lead
ers are trying to keep closely acquaint-
ed with industrial conditions in other
provinces, particularly those west from
here.

GERMANyS
PLEA FOR CHANGES
COUNCIL REFUSES TO CONSIDER
NOTE ON INTERNATIONAL
LABOR LEGISLATION.
Vigorous Measures That Will be An
Immediate Result Of a Refusal Of
the Germans to Sign the Peace
Treaty Planned by Council.

Paris.-Germany has met with All
other rebuff from the council of four
of the peace conference i'm the effort
her plenipotentiaries at Versailles are
making to secure alterations i'm the
peace treaty by setting forth objection
in series Of notes.
The council has refused to consider
the note sent by the Germans regard
ing international labor legislation, and
In a lengthy note states the reasons
why such consideration is not given.
Vigorous measures that will be an
immediate result of refusal of the
Germans to sign the peace treaty have
been planned by the council. Marshal
FOch. commander-in-chief of the allied
armies, is on the Rhine front and dis
patches state that he will take such
action as is necessary in the event of
the failure Of the enhemy to sign the
treaty.
The news has been received here
from Berlin that thousands of people,
headed by men carrying red flags, sur
rounded Hotel Adlon late Thursday aft.

Americans! ~ and Kill the entente"
The demonstration occurred after
the great protest meeting of over 10,-
coo at the west front of the Reich

meeting an impromptu parade was
formed by people falling in line behind
men carrying the red flag. The pro-
cession passed through Brandenburg

MEANS THAT STRONG HAND WILL

In Connection With the Naval Move.
ment it is Admitted That Allied
Troops Have Already Debarked.
Greeks to Rule the City.

Paris.-An extensive allied naval
concentration has been begun at Smyr-
ma in connection with Il mandate to
Greece to administer the city.
The Italian attitude has not been
disclosed, but the recent landing of
Italian troops at Adalia, on the south
ern coast of Asia Minor, and the pres
ence of an Italian squadron at Smyrna
leads to the belief that Italy is seeking
to safeguard her interests in Asiatic
Turkey.
Advices to the peace conference say
that transports carrying Greek troops
have sailed from Saloniki for Smyrna.
In connection with the military and
naval movement at Smyrna, LIntran-
sigeant says that allied troops already
have been debarked. 1t says that the
concentration at Smyrna Is being
taken against the day when the peace
conditions imposed on the Turks will
be put into effect ana when the Turks
may be invited to leave Europe.

America may yet have to fight"
The representatives of the countries
of the world came to Paris, he con-
tinued, with fixed and conflicting de-
mands, and consequently several ma
tons had been disappointed because
the representatives did not get every
thing they expected.
1t was because of this general feel
ing of discomfort, Mr. Morganthau said,
that he was led to believe that war
was not of the past.
