INTERNATIONAL LABOR
 NEWS IN TABLOID

Austria: Tramway Strike.-Tram- way workers or Vienna went on strike on June 26, 1922, closely following the settlement of strikes of the rail- way, post, telegraph, and telephone employees.
 England: "Black Country."-In the region north and northwest of Birmingham, commonly known as the Black Country" on account of the smoke and soot of the iron and steel mills, wild flowers are blooming, it is said, in the kilns and works which are now inactive in this section.

 Germany: Marine Engineers strike. German shipping is idle because of the walk-out of marine engineers and machinists. No notice was given to the shipping companies and public opinion, it is said, severely condemns this crippling of vital industry at such a critical time.
 Italy: Metallurgical Strike.-An Agreement bringing the metallurgi- cal strike to an end was reached and signed at Ronle by representatives of the Industrial Association and the Labor Federation, working with the Minister of Labor.
 Netherlands: Shipbuilding Wages Reduced.-Several of the large ship building companies in Rotterdam have ordered further wage reductions for the period July 15 to October 1, 1922, and shipbuilders are of the opinion that additional reductions must be made on or about October 1. These reductions are made necessary, it is said, on account of competition with Great Britain.

 Sweden: Telephone Strike.-Desir- ing recognition of the right to nego-
