The Prussian system does not appear entirely to prevent quarrels

between employers and workmen, while it makes them terribly serious when they do come. On 28th June the men employed at the ironworks of Konigshiitte, near Breslau, in Prussian Silesia, after quarrelling with the masters for some days, attacked the superintendent's office and the prison, and, according to the bulletin, "commenced plundering." Tho Uhlans charged the rioters; seven of whom were killed, thirty wounded, and sixty arrested. Martial law has been proclaimed throughout the district, which, it should be remembered, has throughout the war been full of troops, held there to watch any possible movement from the Austrian side.
