BLUM IS PLAGUED
BY NEW STRIKES.
Workers Enhance Financial
and Political Worries of
Government.
. the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 24.-A sudden out
break of new strikes in the Paris dis
trict and the Lille region in Northern
France was added today to the finan-
cial and political difficulties of Premier
Leon Blum's government.
The strikes came in the metallurgi-
cal. chemical and other industries, and
included several nationalized factories,
where workers sought to force employ
ers to sign new collective contracts.
In Parliament, the chamber, debat-
ing measure for total mobilization"
OF the nation in wartime, approved
new governmental department for
civilian defense. M. Blum faced Senate
opposition to his financial proposals:
Socialists warned of plot to set up
dictatorial public safety" cabinet.
Strikes Only Symbolic.
The strikes, which embraced the
Citroen and other large factories in the
Paris district, were limited chiefly to
symbolic movements, with work
halted for only few hours. Almost
all the strikers sought clause in their
collective contracts pinning wages
automatically to any rise in the cost of
living.
The rising strike movement caused
M. Blum to assign Albert Scroll. minis
ter of labor, and Vincent Auriol, min
lister for coordination of services, to
seek an end of it before labor trouble
spread.
Workers in all Citroen plants in the
Paris district drifted back to work dur
Ing the afternoon, but demonstrations
continued in other factories.
Paris metal workers advanced the
new complaint that national defense
orders were falling off, causing plants
TO work at less than full capacity.
Ihey told Peoples Front deputies some
men were being laid off and others
were working less than 40 hours a
week.
The Lower House resumed debate
on the total mobilization" bill and
voted to place organization of defense
against air raids and gas attacks un-
Ger Defense Minister Edouard Dala-
dier.
Deputies said all civilians would be
provided with gas masks and esti-
mated total cost of the measure at
S00,000,O00 francs (s9,O0O.OOO).
Financing Plans Opposed.
The ministerial crisis was threat
ened by Senate opposition to Pre-
mler Blums national defense financ-
Ing plans. LIE Populaire, Socialist
party organ. charged Nationalist op-
ponents of NJ. Blum's second PEOPLES
Front government planned to force the
premier out.
The Chamber also voted sections of
the mobilization bill providing for
elimination Of munitions profits and
mobilization of eligible members of
Parliament in wartime.
Conservatives war on Blum.
Conservative leaders in the Senate
declared open warfare against the
Blum government, the fourth govern
ment since Blum came to power in
1885 and the 104th since the founda-
tion of the Third Republic.
The Finance Committee sent a re-
port to the upper house for debate
rejecting the government bill to finance
the national defense fund, although
1t accepted second measure provid-
ing 5,000,o00,o00 francs (sl5O, 600, ,0oo)
IN new loans from the Bank of France
