PARIS, Feb 27.--Governmeptal inter-
vention in disciplinary measures taken
by the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
Railway company toward its employees
is opposed by Premier Millerand, who
arrived here yesterday and at once
plunged into consideration of the strike
situation confronting the country.
Delegates of railway workmen's un-

day afternoon relative to some action
which would bring about a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the dismissal of a workman
named Campanaud, which caused the
walkout of men of the Paris, Lyons

M. Mlllerand could do was to advise
the men to submit their case to arbi-
tration. In the meantime the railroad
company has dismissed $50 strike lead
ers in addition to Campanaud.
