SPAIN’S BULL TEASERS OUT

Picadores and Matadors Form Union and Go on Strike. Madrid, April 2.—This is not an April’s joke. Spain’s bull fighters are on strike. They declare they will not appear in the ring unless they are granted the increase in pay demanded by the newly formed bull fighters’ union. The promoters are expected to yield rather than wreck the greatest hull fights since the pre-war days scheduled for the coming months. Matadors at present get from $1,200 to $l,O<M) for each fight, while plcadorea get $1,500.
