The police arrested the bill-stickers
and the' manifesto was then distrib- *
uted in the form of hand bills.
The first signs'this evening of the
strike was when a number of printers
did not put in an appearance at the
newspapers offices, and it is said that
the journals will be unable to print.
Those offices where work is progressing
are surrounded by police in order to
ward off attacks by militant labor Ites.
The electric power company nas sent
a circular to the hotels, restaurantsand
other places giving warning that its 4
employes are likely to cease work to- '
night or tomorrow and advising that
precautions be taken to protect tehm-
selves. The newspapers, profiting by
the lesson of the electric strike in 1897, / ‘
have placed a large automobile outside /
each door to supply power to its ma-
chinery in case of emergency. ’
In the Vigneux district calm contin-
ued today as the funerals of victims of
last week’s disorders • were prepared.
Nevertheless the troops there remain I
under arms of patrol. I
As on yesterday, there are few signs -
of the labor troubles spreading to the I
provinces, St. Etienne being the only
place where a twenty-four hour strike
was called. This is set for next Thurs-
day.

Paris, Aug. 2.—The twenty-four
hours" strike with which the city is
threatened tomorrow is the sole topic
of conversation in Paris tonight. While
there are no signs of-panic, such , as
preceded the May day manifestations,
of 1908, considerable anxiety and indig-
nation prevails In the public mind. Ihe
press almost without exception repre:
hends the intolerable behavior or the
revolutionary section of the general
labor federation and urges on the gov-
ernment the suppression of it as the
only mens of removing what it de-
clares is a menance to society.
The authorities are confidence .that
they have the ituation well in hand.
In addition to the large police force of
Paris, the regular garrison numbers
25.000 men, and this force, it is held,
is ample.. Assure order. The troops
all have been confined to barracks so
s.to be available at a moment’s, no-
tice. The labor camp is . convinced
that it is about to treat the nation to a
demonstration of its power such as sel-
dom before has been seen. It is stated
that the general labor federation has
received the adhesion of unions affil-
iated with it, affecting, it is said, 100,-
009 workers, including the car men,
commercial travelers, silversmiths,
electricians, printers, day laborers,
butchers, bakers, hotel employes, etc.
Very few of the unions refused to issue
a strike order for tomorrow in com-
pliance with the federation's instruc-
tions.
The headquarters of the federa-
tion of labor was surrounded by im-
posing files of police. Long meetings
were held, but the results of them
were kept strictly secret. No informa-
tion is given out except that tomorrow
the strike will be a success, and that
substitutes had been elected to replace
all the officers of the federation in the
event of their arrest. 3
Early today biH-stickers began to
placard wall with a proclamation
which explains that tomorrow's strike
is in protest of the action*of the gov-
ernment “in preparing an ambush and
turning loose the soldiery, who, by
sabering, had stung the inanffeatants
into replying, thus giving the troops an
excuse to massacre. The authorities
do not dare to announce the real num-
ber of workmen assassinated at Yig-
heux. This crime can not pass un-
noticed. and the only reply possible is
