lnciting of Soldiers and Con-

BY GEORGE DUFRESNE.
Special Gable 10 The American.

PARIS, June 21.-France is a
country Of almost unlimited political
freedom, but Of course there are
boundaries which are not to be trans
crossed. In the opinion of the pres
ent government, the General Confed-
Grafton Of Labor by endeavoring to
incite soldiers and conscripts to mu-
tiny, has committed an act which
endangers the safety Of the republic
and which calls for the severest pun
ishment.
At present a law Of March 81. 1884.
prevents the Government from pun
ishing the anarchistic agltators, and
this law will therefore be repealed
and replaced by a new Government
measure which, while stil affording
the labor unions full protection as
SUCH will give the authorities great
ly increased powers to punish the
professional agltators now in control
of the Confederation Generate.
Free Unions Support Measure.
In this the Government has the
strongest support of all the free la
Dor unions, the independent and pro-
fessional syndicates and the earnest
reformers of the General Confedera-
ton Of Labor
As a matter OF fact the working
men themselves are the sternest ac-
cusers of the General Confederation
Of Labor in its present form and at
the last congress of this body nu-
merous objections were made to the
arbitrary power which large unions

ample-sought to impose on the small
bodies. Under the pretext that the
large organizations ought not to stille

have compelled the latter to submit

Strong Box to Grow.
Il is though by the Government
measure the reformers Of the General
Confederation OF Labor win become
the masters Of this organization, and
will be able to develop benefit socle-
ties as in Germany. II this develop
ment takes place it is prophesied that
the strong box OF this labor body
will in twenty or thirty years contain
ia large sum OF money instead of. as
now, a few thousand dollars. which
constitute the assets of the great
Confederation Of Labor. The regula
| tions which the Government bill will
| Impose on the unions and syndicates
will not injure the working of the
organization, but 1t Is expected that
they VIII prevent the repetition OF
Incidents which have raised protests
against il throughout the country.

Numerous plans for a reduction

making the first ten thousand gal

Mayor Nichols said this after
