Struggle Of Railway Employees.

Paris.-The strike committee of the
railroaders' union at meeting Mon.
day night formally called off the
strike of the railroad employees
which has extended over several of
lhe. most important systems in
France. Work will be resumed on all
lines Immediately.
The collapse of the strike was pri-
marily due to the stringent measures
taken by Premier BRAND, who called
to the colors the majority of the strik.
ers, thus compelling them to do serv-
ice as reservists. The premier also
placed under arrest many of the
strike leaders and used the military
forces without restraint for the pro.
lection of life and property. After
having broken the back of the strike,
M. BRAND successfully arranged a
practical settlement whereby the
chief demands of the men were met.
A serious situation arose through
the throwing of bombs and attempts
at train wrecking, responsibility for
which the strikers denied.
According to the police these out
RACES were planned by anarchists and
fighting revolutionists who hoped to
take advantage of the strike agitation
to terrorize the people.
The press in France, with the ex
ception of certain revolutionary or
CARNATIONS, were opposed to the
strike and supported Premier BRAND

homie and social crisis.
