Picketing is widespread in the weaving; centers, and there is some sabotage. At one mill, 300 looms were damaged and a substantial reward failed to produce the culprit.

The future is somewhat vague but the deciding factor in the whole problem is likely to that as many operatives, through long unemployment, have become ineligible for insurance relief and arc faced with destitution, their return to almost any active mill in the face of pickets of trades union opposition i a certainty. And that means that employers will be enabled to reduce costs to me-at international competition. What social upheavals may result from this internecine warfare are unpredictable; revolt of Sunday was to be followed by a concerted attack from the outside. Police were ordered to stop and investigate all approaching cars and not to allow any to pass unless inquiries were answered satisfactorily. The cvtra precaustions were the result of reports that confederates of the prisoners i the outside were congregating, armed with machine guns, and ircparing an attack which was intended to end in a general Jail delivery.

Special groups guards were brought from London yesterday and additional forces of police from Plymouth and other devon towns. An Inquiry into the cases of Sunday's was under way. One of its consequences, it. was reported, might be the abandoning of the prison, partly because of the difficulty, in such a location, of excluding outside interference bc- ca.use of the facilities the lonely moors offer for fast automobiles.
