French Lawyers Went on Strike.

Over 300 years ago one of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris, when all the lawyers
walked out, SO to speak. A law or
ordonnance was issued and promul-
gated by the French king, Henry ILL.,,
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services This was done so
that the lawyers could be properly and
sufficiently taxed on their income. The
lawyers objected, and the strike, caus-
ing an entire stay of judicial proceed
ings, followed. Peace was restored
by the non-enforcement of the ordon-
nance, though it was not repealed.
