Strikes Spreading
Throughout Europe
tBy Federated Press)

Washington-Strikes are spreading
in various countries of Europe, re-
ports the department of commerce
cable service.
The general strike of railway, tele-
graph, telephone and postal operatives
in Belgium has halted business in
that country. Inability to transport
British coal from the ports is causing
further difficulties in the metal
lurgical industry, already handicap
ped by fuel shortage and lack of
orders, Belgium is helping France
paralyZe the coal mines of the Ruhr
valley.
The French textile situation is
marked by labor unrest in both the
cotton and wool industries. There
are 10000 workers on strike in the
woolen mills at Elbeuf.
In Sweden troubles caused heavy
decline in exports and the smallest
trade since February, 1923 Strikes
in the pulp, lumber and certain minor
industries have been settled but still
continue in part Of the iron and steel
industries. Strike settlements in
volved 100000 men. The number of
unemployed in Sweden shows a de-
crease, amounting to 43,400 on April
l. Swedish emigrations to the United
States which numbered GIT in the
quarter ending March 81, totaled 3779
during April.
Labor disturbances in Spain are
frequent and violent. The cost of
living there remains high.

LONDON. May l. - American
labor is not likely 10 adopt the politi.

America. who Is surveying mining
conditions In England.

Grafton. be told the United Press.
Lewis was not prepared 10 define or
indicate the scope and nature Of the
cooperation contemplated.
Mining ana general Industrial con
ditions are looking up in the United
States. Lewis said. The opposite Is
true Of England. where miners rep
resentatiyes have recently called on
Premier Bonar Law and expressed
themselves as wholly unsatisfied
with his reaction 20 plans 70 better
the condition OF their men.
Coal centera. mining officials and
the miners themselves Will be the OBJ
jectB Of Lewis inspection. He has
no particular arrangements for meet
ing the purely political branch Of the
labor party tho Ramsey Macdonald
and other labor parliamentary chiefs
will probably swap conversation with
the American mine leader.
Lewis said that wage increases are
imminent in the United States. but
that miners would probably not be
benefited. as they had refused to ac.
cept wage cuts during the period of
deflation.
