ROMT3, Sept. 5 (Sunday).—Work-
men who seized industrial plants
throughout the country havo settled
down to a veritable state of seige,
according to advices from various
cities tonight.
"Red guards" have been organized,
the dispatches said, and the factor-
ies converted into fortresses Earth-
workers were said to have been
thrown up around some plants while
all were fully equipped with arms
and ammunition, some even being
supplied with machine guns.
The situation as a whole appeared
to be comparatively quiet. There
seemed to be no disposition on the
part of the government to force a
crisis, the ministry evidently believ-
ing that matters could be adjusted
through arbitration. In some cities
it was reported tentative negotia-
tions between employes and worker*
already had been brought about
through intervention of I«ibor Min-
ister I^abriola.

and the military reported today was
