ONLY TALK LEFT IN PARIS
Strike Of Postal Employees Gradually
Coming to a Close While the
Leaders Make Threats.

Paris, May 17.-All that re-
mains of the strike of postal en-
ployes is political agitation on
the part of the revolutionary
proletariat. The leaders of the
strike are openly affiliated with
these extreme organizations, and
continue to talk loudly of precipi-
tating general strike, but the
more sagacious realize that the
moment is nnproptious and the
general opinion is that the agi-
tatlon will not go beyond words.
The total number of strikers in
the country today is 1,023,
against 1858 yesterday. There
have been twenty-four addition
al dismissals from the service.
