STRIKERS WORK
IN SOUTH AFRICA
Last of Striking Trainmen Are on the
Job—Authorities Will Prepare
for Next Strike.
CAPETOWN, Jan. 24^-The last
of the striking trainmen returned to
work today and labor conditions have
improved with the settlement of the
strike. The fear of a black uprising
has been for the moment, put aside,
but the authorities are determined to
be ready for any future labor troubles
and will organize one of the most effi
cient militia ever maintained in any
d'pendent country, besides which the
English authorities are to be asked to
station large numbers of "English
troops in the South African union.
Almost the entire militia called to
arms when the strike threatened to
Involve all the workers of the union,
have been disbanded and sent to their
homes. Boers and Englishmen who
fought against each other ten years
ago were side by side in the pres
ent trouble, while on the other hand
were the laborers and the blacks and
Hindus.

Food Price* Raise From 50 to 600

I
_
PARIS, Jan. 24.—The cold weather
which struck this city December 26
ind has been general ever* since that
into, with blizzard following blizzard
inri snow storms in plenty, drifting
n huge banks along the railroads,
causing a complete tieup of the gov
ernment lines and preventing the ar
-ival of foodstuffs, still holds this city
n its grip and many people are
'old and hungry.
Prices of meat, flour and other
staples have risen from 50 to 600 per
’em over the prices prevailing at the
commencement of the storm. Fuel is
equally scarce and the price of coal,
charcoal and other fuels has gone
skyward.
All 01 prance anti uie gteaiei pan
if Europe are experiencing the worst
Pllzzard in many years. Gales of ex
-eptionnl violence have ravaged the
-oast. The thermometer registers 20
legrees below zero in many places in
-Vance today and 'r the lowest of the
present storm.
In Spain and Portugal the intense
-old has caused numerous deaths. In
the south of_ Prance the temperature
las registered some degrees below
sero Fahrenheit. Mount Vesuvius, in
Italy, is covered with snow.
Germany is now In *he grip of
storms, and 'n many places, includ
ng Berlin, there have been heavy
’alls of snow. In France and south
vest Europe the railroads are cut in
nany places, and this section is prac
lcally isolated for telegraphic com
mmication.
Conditions are at their worst in
southern and central France, which
lsually are favored by niild winters.
Scores of villages, which ordinarily!
lever see snow, are cut off. The
suffering of the poor is intense, and
leaths from exposure are common.
