A GENERAL STRIKE.
A PARTIAL FIASCO. LITTLE INCONVENIENCE CAUSED. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. BRUSSELS, April 15. It is estimated that there are two hundred thousand strikers, chiefly from the factories and mines at Hainault and Namur. Few of the transport workers are taking part. The newspapers state that the strike is a fiasco, and is causing little inconvenience. Only 7000 out of 50,000 at Ghent struck, 13,000 out of 49,000 at Brussels, and <7B out of 6500 employed at the Ghent Exhibition. Many miners have been saving, as they do not expect the unions to help them for three weeks.
