Across Belgium workers have joined a general strike supporting manhood suffrage. Estimated participants range from 280,000 to 300,000, with socialists claiming up to 400,000. The action has largely not disrupted daily life, earning sympathy from liberal capitalists funding the protest. The Brussels hole owner contributes 26,000 weekly until the outcome. The government promises conciliatory action but will not abdicate. Four arrests reported for interference with non strikers.
