METAL-WORKERS' STRIKE

VIRTUAL AGREEMENT

REACHED IN PARIS

BUILDINGS EVACUATED

Paris, To-day.

Virtual agreement has been reached in con- nection with the metal-works' strike. Of the 70,000 stay-in strikers only 8,000 were remaining on guard last night. The trade unionists claim a victory.

The terms of the settlement have not yet been worked out, but they provide for recognition of the trade union's increase in wages and an annual holiday with pay. Reuter.

Paris: The strike of the Paris metal-workers at long last seems to be nearing its end. The majority of the factory build- ings were evacuated after a provisional agreement between the workers and the employers had been reached, so that yesterday only three large works and several smaller works were still oc- cupied by the workers.

The employers, who had pre- viously refused to negotiate 2

Peiping, To-day.

The tension in North China as a result of the railway explosion has been increased by the at- titude of certain high Chinese officers of the auto- nomous region of East Hopei, who refuse to ac- cede to the Japanese demand for the resignation of the Mayor of Tientsin, which was made before the explosion incident.

The officers are urging the Mayor, who is at present at Peiping, to go to Tientsin and resume his post immediately, pledging him support in all eventualities.

Such action would be tantamount to a chal- lenge to the Japanese, who as a counter-move press for the withdrawal of General Sung's 29th
