LIKE COMMUNE DAYS
PARIS STREETS BLOCKED.
Conditions Due to Labor Crisis
PopuIace Indignant at Leaders.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune.l


Paris July 25-The labor crisis is this week
brought home 10 Paris by the lamentable con-
dition of the streets, nearly third of which are
obstructed with heaps of gravel and mortar.
wheelbarrows. scaffoldng Sheds barriers and
every description of impeachment Not since the
Commune of 1871 have Paris thoroughfares been
in such a terrible condition. The complaints OF
the public loud and threatening and popular
indignation is expressed against the General
Labor Confedera tion which, the Parsians feel
convinced. is the cause of all the trouble.
NJ. Bienvenue, chief engineer of municipal
works declared that the demands of labor
unions have become So excessive that the cost
of excavating cubic meter of soil has increased
30 per cent within twelve months. Almost every
day workmen strike and when they put in
an appearance at the sheds they lounge about
and scarcely do any work.
More than half the improvements voted two
years ago by the municipal council remain in
complete. This accumulation of unfinished
operations particularly those connected with the
systems of metropolitan underground rail-
ways, has brought matters to standstlll TINS
week. The workmen insist on the right to elect
their inspectors and foremen measure which
would practically abolish all control of them.
The situation is becoming worse every day. 1t
is a most effective object lesson to the public
and perhaps a solution will come from indignant
Parisians using their influence directly upon the
political agitators of the General Labor Confed-
Grafton.
Already the Chamber of Contractors has de-
creed the suspension of work at the principal
sheds and demanded revocation of contracts with
the city of Paris owing to the mpossibty of
executing them because the workmen have re-
duced the amount of daily work by 10 per cent
and demand between 80 and 30 per cent increase
of wages Meanwhile the Paris streets in those
parts of the city where work has been begun
and abandoned remain practically impassable-
