UNREST IN SPAIN
EPIDEMICS OF STRIKES. Received Oct. 13, 11.5 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 13. The Madrid correspondent of the Times says that there is widespread unrest in Spain, including an epidemic of general strikes with renewed agitation against the clergy. This compelled the Foreign Alinister, Senor Lerroux, to abandon his visit to Geneva, where he was to have presided over the League Council dealing with the Sino-Japan trouble. Red bills have been posted on convents, one reading: “Citizens! The Socialist minority calls on your enthusiasm to put an end to religious tyranny.” Another assorts that the priests are supporting the banks against the socialisation of riches. Simultaneously the word is passing round that the Civil Guard will not interfere with those attacking convents or members of religious orders. The civil governor at Granada reports a general strike there of a revolutionary character.
