PARIS, Nov. 26.-Premier Edouard
Daladier tonight decreed the mill
tary requisition OF all the principal
railroad lines of France in his fight
ing campaign to crush in advance
the one-day general strike called by
French labor for next Wednesday.
M. Daladier signed decree impos-
ing army control on the railroad
workers. who voted to join the gen.
eral strike. 1t will be effective with
publication in the official journal to-
morrow.
Earlier in the day similar tactics
by the determined Premier smashed
strikes among miners, metalworkers
and local railroad hands in the
north of France. Fifty thousand
workers had walked out in the
north.
The French Confederation OF La
Dor, which ordered Its 5000, 900 men,
bers to strike Wednesday In protest
against M. Daladier's decree laws
suspending the 40-hour week, had
ordered a stoppage in every phase
OF work. excepting only such nee
essary services as water, gas and
electricity. These services are to
be manned by skeleton stats.
Daladier Wins First Round.
M. Daladier won the first round
of his battle with labor by using
army measures in the north, mobil-
izing striking workers and ordering
them to work as part of the army.
Courts martial were established for
those refusing to work.
The unions quickly gave in by or
dering strikers to resume work
pending the general strike.
The railroad decree said simply
that lin view Of present circum-
stances" reQuisition is authorized
for the lines Of the National Railway
Co. This extended the move to six
great networks covering more than
$4,000 miles, which were banded
into single nationalized company
on August 81, 1887.
Although the decree will become
effective with publication in the
official journal, it was not disclosed
when the actual communicating
would be carried out. This is left
to the ministries of war and public
works.
BY the decree, M. Daladier appar-
emily intends to mobilize the railroad
workers as soldiers-cut to soldiers
pay-only If they strike.
$4,000 Out in Paris Region.
In the Paris region, where another
$4,000 metal workers went on strike,
all factories were cleared of kt-in
strikers, although work was not vet
ordered resumed by the manage
ments.
In effect, tense truce prevailed
between the government and labor
pending the scheduled nation wide
walk-out Wednesday.
The northern unions in ordering
their members back to work de-
clared their action was taken only
TO give greater significance" to the

Germany multiplied yesterday when
the State Department assigned its
Ambassador to Berlin to an indefi-
mite tour OF duty in Washington and

Hugh Wilson, who returned here
yesterday from Berlin on his way to
confer with President Roosevelt at
Warm Springs, Ga. had been assign
ed to the Department as an advisor

the assignment, while for an indefi-
mite period, was a temporary one.
Thereafter the Department dis
closed that the United States En-
bassy in Berlin had complained to
the German Government Friday
against "acts or policies of foreign
governments which discriminate
against American creditors and give
foreign creditors more favorable
treatment than Americans"
Cite Payments to Others.
This referred to the fact that Ger

Austrian debts outstanding in this
country when Austria became part
OF the Reich. An exchange of notes
published by the Department said
Germany, already was making pay
ments on Austrian obligations to
creditors in Great Britain, France
