WON A GREAT ViCTORY. End of the BclR'lau Strike for the of LONDON, May The working classes of Belgium have won a signal victory in compelling the central section of the chamber of representatives to declare in favor of a revision of the constitution. The great strike started in the early part of the month was unprecedented in its motive, which had nothing to do directly with wages or hours, but was intended as the only protest that the disfranchised workingmen could make against the denial of the. suffrage. They determined that if they could not vote -they would not work and that the constitution must be revised in the interest of liberal suffrage.

The strike spread throughout the four great coal basins of Belgium, one after another the various industries fell into line with the movement and trade and commerce were threatened with paralysis. The leading mine owners and metallurgists became alarmed. They exposed to the king the immense in- jtfry already done and the greater, injury threatened to Belgium industry' by the delay in voting for revision. Numerous arrests were made with a view to coercing the strikers, but the men remained firm, and at length the majoritj 7 of the chamber formally signified their willingness to support the proposed revision and aid in effecting a substantial reform. The strike has been declared ended and the Belgian workingmen are everywhere jubilant over their victory.
