Cause of the Trouble.
Subject to Penalties.

Officials of the French line have re-
quested the government 20 lend them
crews from the naval depOts. but no reply
has vet been received. Legally the COM
panies are in position to cOerce the men,
as. being members Of the naval reserve,
the crews are subject to heavy penalties
for characterization. but it Is regarded 3
likely that they will try to effect a COM
promise.
At Marseilles the sailors and iOngshore-
men struck almost to a man, and all the
fishermen drew up their nets. The strike
