STRIKES & RIOTS
IN PORTUGUESE CITIES
SEVERE REPRESSIVE MEASURES,
TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.35 a.m.) LONDON. July 29.
Strikes and riots have occurred in Lisbon, Barreiro and Almada during the past fortnight, says the Exchange Telegraph Agency’s Lisbon correspondent. The police arrested some strikers and scattered women who were stoning factories and buses. Some women were arrested in Almada. Order has now been restored. Taverns are closed at 8 p.m. and gatherings are forbidden. The Government is officially stated to have placed all industry under State control. Anyone leaving work in a factory, whether man or woman, will be drafted into a Labour battalion for the heaviest utility work, under severe military discipline. Major Jorge Botelho Moniz, of the Industrial Mobilisation Department of the War Office, has been appointed to see that work is restarted. Members of the Portuguese Legion will be drafted when necessary to factories to fill gaps. Major Moniz helped General Franco during the Spanish civil war. He also organised the Portuguese volunteers who fought against the Republicans.
