PARIS STRIKE NOT
REVOLUTIONARY
Labor Federation Exhorts Workers to
Keep Movement on Purely Profss-
sionaI 6asis-1ritish Labor Making
Similar Effort and. Cooperation 10
Sought.

Paris. June 1.-THE strike situation
was unchanged this morning. While
few Of the smaller walkouts have
been settled, new ones have broken
out. The principal strike movements
are in the transportation and metal
industries.
The general labor federation has is
sued long proclamation regarding
strikes which now are going on, but
at the same time exhorting the strikers
to keep their movement on purely
professional ground, not concerning
themselves with a program Of social
claims such as amntsty, demobiliza-
tion, no military Intervention abroad,
and quick and lasting peace, as set
forth by the federation's committee,
which alone has q mandate to urge
social progress.
British labor Organizations having
decided to make similar effort, the
federation has asked them to CO. orui :
nate the action Of the two proletariets.
Consequently the time that action will
be taken will depend upon the answer
received from the British union.
The irritation and discomfort which
are breaking out in the form of
strikes the proclamation concludes,
are due entirely to general uneasiness,
which Is the consequence Of the policy
OF silence and constraint imposed on
popular aspirations by the govern
ment. 1t Is the intention to silence
popular protest by repression and to
renew the old method Of setting the
army against strikers?n
The federation declares that econo-
mic problems raised by the strikes
must be quickly solved, as also must
social and international problem whose
solutions are ardently demanded by the
whole population.
