Dutch Workman Stoned, i I Amsterdam, July 29.—Dutch workmen j who have i u-t returned from Essen tell me i,ÚJ5 the "Daily Impress correspo.i- dent) that Essen womenfolk have decided that no more neutral workmen shall work at Krupp's during the war. When the last batch of Dutchman ar- rived at Essen last week, JbQlIsands. of women greeted them on the station square with stones and shoots of "Down with neutrs 1 j ob-stealer?." The reason for the outcry is that for every Dutchman who comes to Krupp's workshops one more German workman io sent- to the front. The women are deter- mined that any Dutchman coming to Essen should be stoned. The police of Essen, who are reduced to one-tenth peace-time strength, are helpless.
