troops into Thessaly.
The Powers are now standing firmly by Greece, and will not give in to Turkey's demand for Thessaly. It is said, however, that Turkey will not give back the territory she has gained, and that the Turks have begun to arrange a form of government for the towns of Thessaly, and are acting very much as if the province was already theirs. The Ministers who represent the various nations of Europe are holding daily meetings, and consulting as to the terms of peace; but until they arrive at some decision we must wait to know the fate of Greece. * * * * * The striking tailors have not gone back to work yet. Most of them have been brave enough to stay out and resist the temptation offered them by the masters to go back to work at the old terms. A few, however, have been unable to bear the strain, and have gone back at any wages rather than be idle and in want. It is these weaker people that the strikers always fear. The success of a strike depends on all having the courage to wait until their demands are granted. When the tailors found that some of their number were at work they were very much enraged, and for the first time since the strike began became riotous and unruly. |
