prehensions are felt throughout
Europe today regarding the posi-.
bility Of bloody disturbances tomor-
row-May Day. Never in the his
tory OF organized labor has May Day
been charged with such dire possi-
bilities Of conflict.
From Italy, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, and Hungary reports have
been flowing into Paris during the
past week foreshadowing monster
demonstrations by the working
classes, who claim TO have been more
screly stricken in all respects by
the war than any other class.
Everywhere the authorities are
watching acutely for any evidences
Of organized labor disorders. The
troops and police of the Continent are
being held in the leash. to be ordered
out at the slightest sign OF Bolshevik
uprisings.
In the industrial north Of Italy 60
cialists have been extremely active
throughout the whole Of this month.
Milan and Turin both fear disorders.
All over the continent the workers
have declared a general holiday to-
morrow. Although in France the So
cialists are still indignant over the
acquittal OF Villain, who shot their
great leader, Jaures, the workers are
expected to pass the day in peaceful
demonstrations.
