Berlin, April 2.-(By The Associated
Presst-Proclamatio of a general strike
Of working people thruout Wurttemberg,
Tuesday, was met by a counter-strike on
the part of bourgeoise. Street fighting
developed in the afternoon and three
persons are believed to have been killed,
while many were injured.
The Vossische Zeitung says the Stutt-
CART streets are filled with great crowds
and that there has been much shooting.
The newspaper adds that motors, police
and troops are patrolling the streets.
1t is officially announced, says the
newspaper, that a large number Of Spar
tacans have entered the town recently;
but that the government is master of the
situation.
4 collision occurred at Esslingen. six
miles southeast of Stuttgart, where a
company of police was attacked with
grenades. Several persons were killed
or wounded.
The food supply is greatly endanger-
ed. according to the Vossische Veitung.
The Stuttgart casualties occurred
when a column of strikers, holding a
demonstration for their demands Tues
day, met large detachment of govern
ment troops with machine guns and arm
ored cars. The troops insisted that the
strikers disperse.
The strikers refused and adopted a
threatening attitude. After several warn
ing shots, the troops fired. There was
some brief hand to- hand fighting, after
which the demonstrators were driven off
and order restored for the time being
Stuttgart Grows Nervous.
Stuttgart is growing nervous. The
gas and electric supplies have been shut
off, and the food situation is serious.
Altho the demands Of the strikers are
ostensibly for the removal of martial
law, the release Of political prisoners
and new elections for the soldiers and
workingmen's councils, il is believed in
government quarters that they are
working Systematically under the sur
face to bring about the downfall Of the
government, by which they hope to en-
danger the national government.

the strikes here shall spread all over
