vious warning, the soviet occupation
of factories idea struck Belgium.
Following the example of Italian
workers, who took over plants thru.
out Italy, the Belgium workmen
Immediately hoisted a red flag over
the occupied plant. The workers,
who are employees Of the Auto-Met-
talurgique factory at Marchienne, in
South Belgium, stoutly denied com.
munist or bolshevist sentiments.
Trouble started when an old sold
Ter who did not belong to any trade
union was employed. Soon the irri-
tated workmen applied to the man.
ager for discharge Of the war veteran,
The director refused to fire the man
who was able to do all that was re-
CURED of him.
After holding a chapel, the
workmen proceeded to turn out OF
the factory the draughtsmen, man.
ayers, clerks and timekeepers and
then carried on their work in the
or.lnary way.
Next morning the red flag was
floating over the works. Police
squads turned out fearing trouble
but nothing happened. Thereupon
followed series Of negotiations be.
tween men and managers. Govern
ment authorities at Brussels were
notified and took precautions. Event
ualIy the premier held conference
with delegations from the manage.
ment and from the workers and per.
suaded them to accept a compromise
settlement that was agreeable to both
parties concerned.
