Press.)â€" Today wars the seventh day of the general strike here. Altho a state of siege has not been proclaimed, the workmen’s quarters are occupied by the military forces and martial law practically is in full force. The troops concentrated here are from Lombardy and Yenctlu. They have raised the strength or the garrison to 30,000. Strong contingents or infantry, sup- porttd by cavalry and artillery. hold the stragetic points and prevent the atrikers from reaching the centre of the city. TRGWS WEARGE The movement is changing from an economic to a political one. like that. which arose in 1898. and the leaders are encouraging the Separatist ideas. arguing that Lombardy. a most pros- perous region. is unjustly being made to support the poorer districts of the south.

The newspa- pers continue to appear, the printers having refused to go on strike. Fifty thousand strikers held a meet- ing today. and after listening to in- flammatory speeches decided to con- tinue the general strike. It was also decided to organize the movement thruout the kingdom and to proclaim a onE-day strike in every city and town some 'day thlar week. The government believes the strike here is a failure and that the workmen will soon be obliged to return to work because of lack of funds.
