France Takes
Steps to Fight
Great Strikes
Government Will Mobilize
Rail Troops to Break Up
Threatened Walk-Out on
All Lines of Country

PARIS, April 26.-The French gov
eminent plans immediate mobilization
of railroad troops to break the threat.
ened general railroad strike if the men
go out. and even more vigorous action
in combating the general May Day
strike in all industries called for next
Saturday, than was taken last year, il
was said to day.
At that time the efforts to clear the
streets ended with the troops charging
the crowd and firing on the strikers
with casualties occurring.
Leon Jouhaux, president Of the Gen
eral Confederation Of Labor, declared
Oday that decisions concerning the de-
tails of the May Day demonstration
would be taken at meeting Of the
council of the confederation Wednes-
day.
At present the program remains linn
tied to an absolute cessation of work
for twenty-four hours. No parades or
professions through the streets likely
to cause clashes with the police are
contemplated, he said
Paris faces an almost complete
paralysis of business on Saturday, as
the result of large number Of unions
voting to join the May Day celebra-
ton. Work in most lines will be re-
sumed after twenty-four hours.
Teachers will remain on duty, and
food stores will be open. at least part
Of the day.
Determination of the date when rail
way workers throughout France will
be called upon to strike has been left
to the Federal Committee.
Whether finish fight for immediate
naturalization of the railways and
compliance with their other demands
will be brought on by the railway men
appears to depend upon the co6pera-
ton of the Genera1 Confederation of
Labor which is not considered as
anxious for general movement as the
new extremist majority Of the railroad
men. 1t is pointed out that this group
comprises little more than nalf the
railroad organization membership Of
100000
