FURTHER TROUBLE
THE RENAULT WORKS
GO-SLOW STRIKES
LONDON, September 17,
The Madrid correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says that more trouble has broken out in the great French Renault works at Clermont Ferrand. Police under orders to "fire without warning" guard the works ,and they are continually pelted with pieces of metal. Several workers are arrested each day, and this is inciting go-slow strikes. -
The works are at present producing entirely for the Germans, but the production is reported to be only a quarter of capacity.
The German non-commissioned officer /who was wounded by a bullet in a Paris street very soon after, the execution by the Germans of ten hostages on September 16 has now died.
As a result the German authorities have threatened to take hostages from all classes of the Parisian populace unless the present series of attacks against German soldiers ceases. Placards posted throughout the city declare that the Germans will greatly extend the reprisals if the attacks are continued.
