May Day Demonstrations in Europe


 New York, April so.-The approach of May Day, the traditional date for strikes and labor demonstrations in Europe finds the labor situation throughout that con- tinent. in a condition of ferment, with prospects of a general 24-hour strike in Paris, threat of a general railway strike throughout France and disturbed condi- tions in most European countries
 May Day in Europe is vastly different from May Day in the United States. While in America labor unions make no special effort to enforce their demands on May Day. those of Europe have al ways regarded this as favorable date for denaonstrations and strikes.
 The situation in France apears to be more threatening than elsewhere on the continent Labor leaders in Paris will at tempt to ''stop everything but the clock for A hours on Saturday, May 1, as a demonstration against present economic conditions. The labor situation was made more perilous there by decision of the Congress of French Railway Workers to

call a general strike in France to enforce revolutionary demands The success of this strike depends, however, upon coop eration by the General Federation of La bor. the conservative wing of the French railroad organization.
 All branches of syndicalist labor in Belgium except the railway men have been called upon to take part in the general i24-hour strike on May l.: So far as known here no special demonstra- tions have been prepared for May Day either in Spain, Germany or Italy. Sev. eral Italian industrial centers have beer the scenes of numerous strikes during April, some of which are continuing This situation generally prevails in some Spanish cities. The labor situation throughout Germany has been in a dis
 turbed condition since the Kapp revolu ton but no special demonstrations hay, | been called for May Day. Seventy thous and industrial workers have been on z strike in Vienna but there has beer nothing to indicate renewed demonstra tions in Austria on May Day

Ben and his band of cutthroats captured the fort. Then just by way of showing his strong brotherly affection for his nefghbors and schoolmates, he lined them all up against we'll and nlur- dered them. And by way of passing it was this massacre of surrendered pris-- oners of war which has ever since made surrendering so very, very unpopular and unhealthful for Americans in fSxs. For American soldiers to surrender went out of fashion in September 1781.
 Samuel Huntington. another famous ! native of Norwich, is also dead. MT. I Huntington was born in 1731 so there | is really nothing surprising in the fact that he has passed beyond. He was president of the Continental Congress from 177s to 17Ss and was chief jus tice of the supreme court and was governor when he died.

CUNNING FOR BROTHERS
 AN ANCIENT PRACTICE

Profiteering in foods and high wage demands by labor are far from being ultra modern problems.
 Ancient Egypt flogged it's profiteers in the market places, and medieval England passed maximum wage laws, according to a communication by Ralph A. Graves to the National Geo. graphic Society, which says:
 Following the devastation of the Black Death in England in 134S-1349 cultivation of the fields was utterly impossible, and there were not even enough able bodied laborers to gather the crops which had matured. Cattle roamed through the corn unmolested and the harvest routed where it stood. "Out Of the situation which resulted from the impoverished labor resources of the kingdom grew the first great slash in England between cap.tal and labor. The peasants became masters of the situation. In some instances .hey demanded double wages, and whereas formerly landowners had paid one-twelfth of every quarter of wheat as the harvesting wage, they were now forced to pay one eighth.
 Parliament hurriedly passed dras- dc laws in an effort to meet the new condition. Statutes provided that every man or woman, bond or free ible in body and within the age of lhreescore years, not having h.s own whereof he may live, nor land of his own about which he may occupy him telf. and not serving any other, shall ee bound to serve the employer who shall require him to do so, provided that the lords of any bondsman oi land-servant shall be preferred before others for his service: that such ser wants shall take only wages whici were customarily given in 1347' Ctht year prior 10 the first appearance oi the plague.)
 Violation of the statute meant i'm. orisonment; and 1t was further pro. Fidede that any reaper, mower, o, workman leaving service should be i'm. prisoned. If workmen demanded nor, than the regulation wage, they wer, 10 be fined double. and the land-owne who paid more than the prescribeC sum was to be fined treble tha amount. Runaway laborers were to b, branded with an F. as Derpetua sign of their falsity No bail was f, Dc accepted for any of these labor of lenses.
 The first ordinance in English his tory, designed to curb the greed of tn middleman. was passed nearly a cen tury earlier Gin 125S) when there wa a bountiful harvest. but destructiv rains caused the heavy crops to rot i the fields.
 But England did not originate foo control measures. A low Me in ee A. D., resulted in a famine the follow ing year, which swept away 600.0O people in the vicinity of the city c Fustat. G'awhar, a Mohammeda Joseph, founded a new city (the Cair of today) a short d'stqnce from tn stricken town and immediately organ lzed relief measures.
 "The Caliph Mo'izz lent every assist snce to his lieutenant. sending man ships laden with grain: but the pic pt bread remained high, and Gawha being a food controller who had n patience with persuasive methods. ord cred his soldiers to seize all the mile, and grain dealers and Fog them in tI public market place. The administrs tor then established central grain q, pots and corn was sold throughout tf two years of the famine under the ey, Of a government inspector.''

Rheumatism A HOME CURE GIVEN BY ONE
 WHO HAD IT

In the spring of 1893 I was at tackled by muscular and infamma- tory rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have. it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy. and doctor after doc tor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I found remedy that cured me com pletely, and it has never returned. 1 have given it to c number who
 were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with rheumatism, and it effected a cure in every case.
 want every sufferer from any
 form of rheumatic trouble to try this marvellous healing power. Don't send cent; simply mail your name
 and address and l will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long looked-for means of curing your rheumatism, you may send the price of it. one dollar. but under stand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it.
