The town of Hamm, in Westphalia, and several other places, are report- €d to have been plundered. At Essen, the advices state, a gen- eral strike ‘has been proclaimed and carried out in full force. The postal and telegraph stations are closed, as are also most of the offices and shops. The tramway service is still intact Some of the employers have agreed to pay their workers for time lost during the strike, but the Krupp works refuse. In case any employer is unable to pay the men the Town Government will bear the expense. BERLIN, March 31,—Leaders of the three Socialist parties here have sent a note to the Government requesting that it respect the Bielefeld conven- tion and immediately suspend all mili- tary measures in the Ruhr Valley. The Government is given until 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon to either accept or reject this request. Should it be rejected a proclamation of a gen- eral strike will be made, Chancellor Mueller was informed by a Socialist delegation.

Slight amendments have been made to some of the measures to make them court and constitution proof. Already New York lawyers are trying to punch holes in them, but it is the ad- vice of the committee to the tenant not to be frightened nor bluffed into signing leases ahead of time or for any excessive increases in rent. A little flurry of trouble was oc- casioned to projectors of the bills by threats of reprisals by some up-State members of the Lower House for the defeat of the repeal of the Dag ight Savings Bill, but that danger, if it for Bread and Milk Plunder.
