PARIS POSTMEN STRIKE
NO ALL DELIVERIES IN THE BIG
CITY YESTERDAY MORNING.
Great Inconvenience to Business and
other Interests-An the Strikers
on Duty This Morning.

PARIS, May 1&-Owing to the refusal OF
the Senate to vote the bill providing in
creased pay for postmen. recently passed
by the Chamber of Deputies, about eight
hundred postmen refused to go TO work to-
day and. later, the whole force, numbering
1900 men, went on strike. AS a result there
were no mail deliveries this morning. Even
the embassies did not receive their letters.
Later the postmen held an open-air meet
ing around the postoffice and were addressed
by the under postal secretary. NJ. Mougeot,
who vainly urged them to return to work.
The strikers responded by demanding an in
crease of pay. M. Mougeot ordered the post
men to instantly return TO work under PEN
atty of dismissal, and the strikers refused
to do so and attacked a post wagon. manned
by Republican guards. which was emerging
from the postofice yard. The police beat the
strikers off after a fight, in which several
policemen were hurt. A number of strikers
were arrested.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day there
was great animation. Several of the menu
bers questioned the government on the sub
ject Of the postofice strike, poi. ting out the
inconvenience Paris business circles were
| suffering.
The minister of posts and telegraphs (who
is also minister of commerce and industries),
NJ. Delombre, replied. saying the regular de-
livery would be resumed this evening, adding
that the public services could not be allowed
to lie at the mercy of a few officials. nor
could the latter be permitted to impose their
will on Parliament and the government.
Loud applause]
The premier, M. Dupuy, said the state of
the employees was not such as to warrant
them going on strike. and il the postmen
did not resume work they would be replaced
by others. The government, the premier
declared. would yield to no such intimida-
ton. tRenewed cheers.l A vote of conf
dence in the government was p~assed-2S3 to
1l2-the Socialist minority IN the meantime
shouting and cheering for a general strike.
The postoffice was hesieged by business
men this morning, who demanded their let
ters. NJ. Mougeot arranged for a delivery
this afternoon. The sorting is done by clerks,
who were placed at the disposaI of the post
houses ard banks. They were under the di-
| rection Of the auxiliary sorters. The mai,
was then delivered by soldiers. conducted
by policemen. The absence of a regular
mail delivery caused great disturbance in
business circles.
The Cabinet met to-day. considered the
strike and decided to severely punish the
| leaders.
NJ. Mougeot and the Paris project Of po-
lice have issued a circular to the postmen
individually, announcing that all who fail
to resume duty tomorrow morning will be
irrevocably dismissed.
