On the contrary, the strike had spread; Crévecoeur, Mirou, Madeleine, like the Voreux, were producing nothing; at Feutry-Cantel and the Victoire there were fewer men every morning; even at Saint-Thomas, which had been hitherto exempt, men were wanting.
Au contraire, la greve s'était aggravée: Crevecoeur, Mirou, Madeleine arretaient l'extraction, comme le Voreux; Feutry-Cantel et la Victoire perdaient de leur monde chaque matin; a Saint-Thomas, jusque-la indemne, des hommes manquaient.
