PARIS, July 8-Government and
labor joined today in a concerted ef-
fort to evacuate business places oc-
cupied by striking workmen.
Roger Salengro, minister Of the in
terror, enlisted assistance from labor
unions to redeem his promise to the
Senate the government will not toll
crate" further occupation of factories
by strikers.
With the approval Of Premier Leon
Blum, Salengro outlined to union
leaders a three-step program of bring
ing halt to the refusals to work.
He said the steps were:
/. The strikers will first be asked
by the unions to evacuate their places.
2. If they refuse. the government
will make similar request.
3. If the workers still refuse to re-
cede from their positions. the govern
ment and labor will join in persuasive
measures to halt the occupation.
Other Measures Withheld.
'"The government will employ other
measures only if all efforts of per-
suasion fail" the minister told the
labor leaders.
Salengro's plan to bring labor peace
to strife-torn France drew threats Of
a Communist split from support of the
Blum cabinet as the extreme Left
wing interpreted the interior minister's
promise as warning force might be
used against strikers.
Reaction will interpret these words
as announcing the use of force against
workers." the Communist newspaper
Humanite declared. THE least that
can be said is that Salengro did not
weigh his words"
Radical-Socialists, however, ap-
plauded the minister's declaration
through their newspaper, Ere Nouvelle.
and warned the Socialist premier the
Senate expected the Government to
keep its word
Blum's own newspaper, Le Populaire,
refrained from comment other than
observing Salengro's statement was
made under continued questioning by
a RightiSt member Of the Senate.
A decrease in the number Of strikers
was reported officially, with the num-
Der Of workers still away from their
jobs set at 83,327 throughout the
nation.
Directors Locked Up.
Two directors Of the Citroen auto
mobile factory near Chaumont were
reported locked up by strikers when
they refused demands to dismiss two
engineers. The directors were released
after three hours, government officials
asserted.
Finance Minister Vincent Auriol out
lined plans before the Chamber Of
Deputies for revision of the laws Of the
Bank Of France.
The measure, q Socialist reform pro-
posal designed to end financial control
by an inner group known as the two
hundred families" would replace the
board of regents by a new committee
of directors.
