 --Anti-Strlke Force Mobilized

Paris, Mar, Railroad men mobili- zed by the Paris, Lyons & Mediterra- mean system were reporting Tn in- creasing numbers last night and what little change here is in the strike sit uation this morning seems to be for the better So far, the general strike called on Saturday morning may be said to be failure. as numbers of railroad men. even union adherents, are refusing to quit, particularly in the provinces.
 Inconvenience is being suffered by the public and freight service is being dislocated. however. by the existing strike conditions. Everywhere except in devasted regions of northern France service has been virtually abandoned The outlook now seems to be distinctly more hopeful and com petent circles hold the opinion that if suitable compromise can be found the national federation of railwaymen will willingly call off the strike

 Justice McKenna said that to grant the governments request for disrup- ton of the corporation and restore conditions in the industry as they were twenty years ago would be prac- tically impracticable. It would disrupt business. the decision said, ard would not be in the public interest.
