Several hundred strikers gathered outside the Socialist Party headquarters this morn ing, but no organized demon strations developed. Slrttti Deserted The capital was quiet and most streets were deserted in the second day of a New Year holiday. All stores were closed, but the railroad sta tions - strike-bound last week were open. Streetcars, buses and taxis functioned normally. Although Socialist strike leaders called for new demon strations by frank and file union members, the public holiday apparently led most of the strikers to remain at home rather than demonstrate in the streets. Belgium' has been plagued for two weeks by strikes, demonstrations and riots over the "austerity" program brought on by the loss of The Congo.
