OPEN REVOLT
UPON PART Of
FAMOUS PIT.
Association of Employees
Transforms Itself Into a
Syndicate, Thus Giving 1t
the Right to Strike.
BY Associated Press.

Paris, May 6.-The famous P. T. T.,
that is, Posts, Telegraphs and Tele-
phone Employees Association, today
threw down the gage of battle to the
government by Transforming itself
into a syndicate. or union, under the
law Of 1884, thus placing the associa-
ton on the same footing with the
workmen's union with the right to
strike against the state employer as
the workmen have the privilege of
doing against private employers.
This defiance, which is nothing
short Of open revolt. came as a sud-
den and sensabohn sequel Of Premier
Ciemenceau' failure this afternoon to
receive a deputation of postal en-
ployes, who called to present demands
for a redemption of promises which
they claim the government made
when the recent strike was declared
of. The most serious aspect of the
situation is in the fact that leaders of
this new movement are undoubtedly
hand in glove with the moving spirits
OF the general federation of labor.
which is now universally recognized
as revolutionary organization.
