WORK AND WAGES.
THE MINERS’ CONGRESS, PARIS, April 4. The Belgian delegates to the Miners’ Congress demand that there should be a universal strike of miners in May for eight hours per day. The English and German and a section of French delegatee are opposed to this extreme step on the grounds that it is premature, and certain to end in defeat unless ample funds ace available to carry on the struggle. The proceedings in Congress are somewhat boisterous, and at times very violent. THE PITTSBURG STRIKE. NEW YORK, April 4. As the Anarchists who are controlling the strike in Pennsylvania permit in maintaining an attitude of intimidation, it is feared a conflict will take place with the troops, who have been called out to preserve order. LONDON, April 4. One thousand troops have been called out in Pennsylvania to restrain the miners who are on strike from committing acts of violence.
