French Mine Strike
In All Provinces
Expected Monday
Labor Executive Committee
Urges Government Relief
OH Food Supply System
as Means to End Unrest

PARIS, June 12.-Members of the
National Council of the Miners Fed
Grafton left Paris for the provinces
to-day to take to the miners unions
instructions concerning general min
ers' strike which, it is expected, will
begin Monday.
The National Council adopted a res
o1ution regretting the action of the
Chamber of Deputies in rejecting it's
claims regarding the eight-hour day,
and declaring its members will be
forced to strike because of the con-
ditons pointed out by the General
Labor Federation unless there is the
amelioration asked for.
The executive committee of the Gen,
eral Labor Federation has issued an
other long manifesto appealing to the
government to put an end to the gem
eral muddle in the national food supply
system, and to speculation and profit
eering which, by sending up the cost
of living, are the principal causes of
the strike, the federation declares.
The street transportation companies
of Paris reported to-day that their
service had increased
Otherwise the labor situation in
Paris and vicinity showed few changes
this morning. The strikes are con-
tinuing, although many individual
strikers, tiring of idleness, are return
ing to work.
The manifestos and appeals being
freely issued by the various organiza-
tions concerned with the strikes make
it appear that the leaders have no de-
sire to go to extremes. They SEEM
ingly are ready to seize any good op-
portunity to avoid resorting to a gen
eral strike. The National Federation
of Transportation Employees, for in
stance, has asked Premier Clemenceau
for an appointment to enable it to lay
before him the whole history of the

to answer charges OF dangerous and dis

more pacific spirit yesterday by Arthur
somers. president of the Board Of Edu-
cation. Mr.. Somers seized the oppor-
tunity Of the trial Of Benjamin Glass
burg. the Brooklyn Commercial High
School teacher accused Of Bolshevist
talk. to beg the Teachers Union, through
Gilbert Z. Roe. who Is attorney for the
organization as well as for the defen-
dant In this case, to como straight to tho
board with complaints and criticisms
instead Of engaging In vituperstion at
public meetinss."
The Board OF Education he said,
has a sacred duty to perform In the
maintenance of the public school sys-
tenn. The men and women who teach
our boys and girls are depended upon
not only to instruct them but to lead
them into paths OF light and righteous
ness. and their attitude toward the Gov

Mr.. Roe rejoined that he knew the
Teachers Union. as we'll as the boa~d,
desired only what was best for the chill
dren. and that he was sorry II the chill
dren must be brought into tho contest
going on in the city to-day.
Nothing startlingly new was brought
out In the Glassburg trial yesterday. The
boys who were summoned as witnesses
gave substantially the same testimony
as to Glassburg's utterances that was
was given In the foregoing session. After
the eighth witness was called by the de-
fence the Assistant Corporation Counsel
moved to have the case discharged on
the ground that the testimony was sim
