Many meetings have been held. I had a conversation with one of the leaders of the strike, and when I asked him whether be and ' his comrades bored for good results, he answered: " Certainly, the conduct of the directors is nothing but insensate. Their con. tinned silence after our repeated demands is slicer folly. After the holidays of the Toussaint and the following days we are determined to bring about a general strike." On the other hand, I had an interview with a I director, who was equa7ly confident. He said he feared no bad results, and was convinced that the men would be willing to resume work ! were it not for evil Mumma from abroad, 1 When these ceased—which he thought would be soon—the strike would be ended.
