Quiet May Day
ThrOughOut France

Paris, May 1.-The first of May, with
its traditional revolutionary demon
STATIONS, passed today with probably
less excitement than the ordinary
Sunday. There were fewer than the
usual number of arrests for minor in
fringements of the law in the city and
not a single case of disorder was re-
ported throughout other portions OF
France.
Generally. the only idlers in Paris
were those persons in trades that en-
JOY Sunday as a day of rest.
There were red flag parades in a
number of cities but these had few
spectators. Most of the populace
throughout the country went pic
nicking. A sudden shower over Pa
ris and nearby resorts late this af-
ternoon dampened the ardor of such
persons as were bent on carrying out
demonstrations. The principal suf-
ferers were the police who had to
work long hours and remain out in
the rain.

workmen from the Lowell Gas Light
Co, who walked out early Saturday
when notices of proposed wage reduc-
tions were posted throughout the
plant, destroyed piles of bedding
which the company was bringing to its
use of strike breakers. About ESQ

RiOtous scenes accompanied the at
tack on the truck, which was stopped
by the strikers and a large crowd of
sympathizers who had been gathering
about the plant all day in anticipation
of trouble. Mattresses were torn from
the machine and rendered useless.
Many curious and interested persons
rushed to the scene of the attack,
which was within the shadow of the
companys larg tanks in School street,
and excitement prevailed for nearly a
half hour. Further trouble was ex-
pected before morning.

The three organizations were the
International Seamen's Union, the
Marine Firemen, Oilers and Water
Tenders Union and the Marine En-
gineers Union.
At all three meetings the marine
workers voted to reship only on yes
sells offering the former wage scale
with former conditions which have
been refused by private owners and
the shipping board.
Union leaders here term the sus-
pension of work a lock out and
declare that the owners are at
tempting to restore the 12-hour day
without payment for overtime. This,
the union men insist. amounts in
reality to a wage cut of 40 to 80,
rather than Is per cent.
The marine workers predict that
approximately 10000 seamen and
10000 oilers and firemen will leave
ships now in port here within the
next "a hours. No pickets will be
posted, it was said unless steamship
owners attempt to employ strike
breakers.

Seamen's Union took no action on

the engineers would observe the

PEAK REACHED

Chicago. April 300 BY The Associ-
ated Press)--A general tendency to.
ward reduction in wages through
out the country combined with a ten
dency on the part Of labor in the east
to resist the cut, and a general feel
ing that the peak of the unemploy-
ment has been reached. are the out
standing indications contained in re-
ports on the industrial situation from
almost every state in the union. A
decided back to the farm movement is
also noted in the reports and as a
rule there is no lack of farm help in
any section.
The only labor troubles that have
shown up previous to this May day
appears int New York and Massa-
chusetts where strikes of rather Sc
rious nature have been in progress
and where more are threatened as the
result of the proposed reduction in
wages in several trades.
however, IN the west, south ana
Central states the reports show that
in a number of industries the wage
cuts have already gone into effect.
The Government, State and Labor
leaders appear to be pinning hopes
for a return to normal conditions in
the opening up. on large scale, of the
building industry coming, as they
hope. with the full operation of the
agricultural work.
The troubles in the Eastern section
appears to be peculiar to their own
locality, the only nation wide contro-
versies appearing in the printing in
dustry where some printers are at
tempting to put "a hour work week
into effect and in the railroad situa-
tions. 1t is believed however, that ar
bitration agreements in majority of
the newspaper establishments will
prevent walkouts while the National
Typothetae of America has officially
gone on record as against the reduc-
ton Of the work week to A hours.
