—The

tive
field
today
submitted
to
the

perators
and
miners
their
reply
(o
the demand
of the
men
for
a
60
per cent increase
in
wages
and
shorter
working hours.
Before the session
open-
ed there
was
much
speculation
as
to the
Aattitu’de
the
operators
would
take-on
what
has
been
called the most revolu‘ion-
ary demands
in the
histery of the
indus-
try, involving an increase
in
pay for
ap-
proximately four hundred
thousand
men.
The operators
refuse
to
discuss
their
at-
titude
befo e the
session
or
to
discuss
reports that
their reply
would be
a
fiat
refusal
to grant the
demands
of
the
mi-
ners.

Chamber
ot Deputies
was interrupted
by
a
free
fight .which
lasted
ten
minutes
and
in which about
one hundred Deputies
participated.
The
copinion
is
expressed
in
some
quarters
that the Cabinet,
as
a
result of the riotous incident,
may
decide
to resign ra her than plunge
the country
into
a strugzle during the general
elec-
tion.
It is
asserted
the
fight
in
the
Chamber
indicates
what
would occur
in
the country.
'The figures
for the
vote of
confidence
giten
the Cabinet
were
206
and
148.
The
Chamber
