1900 Bank Clerks Lose
Strike in Czecho-Slovakia

MANCHESTER, England, Aug. I (By
MaiD After five wccas' duration the
genera! strike Of Czech and German
bank clerks in Czecho-S -Slovaka. which
involved altogether about 1900, has
come to an end with the defeat OF the
strikers, reports The Manches
Guardian correspondent at Vienna.
Thu cause of the trouble was the
demand of the Czech bank clerks FOR
the grant Of the same service regula-
tions as at the German banks, where
the commi ssion's clerks enjoyed far
reaching rights, and where notice
could only be given in a few specified
cases. The Czech banks refused to
fulfill these demands, and the clerks
ceased work, whereupon the clerks in
the German banks, in order to support
their Czech colleagues, refused to
carry through transactions with the
Czech banks, where the strike had been
proclaimed. The managers Of the Ger
man banks cancelled their service
regulations and discharged all clerks
refusing to carry out orders.
The Czech and German banks re-
solved on no account to give way, and
finally the clerks were compelled to
resume work without obtaining any
concessions. On the contrary. the
terms OF the resumption we're very
hard. A number of the leaders Of the
strikers were discharged, the commits
sions personnel lost its former powers,
leave was suspended until the arrears
Of work are overtaken, and overtime
will not be paid.
