French General Strike
May Result if Farley
On Pay Raises Fails
By Paul Gholi
Foreign Correspondent Of The sior and
the Chicooo Dolly News

PARIS, July 4.-Although only II
days old, the government of Premier
President Georges Bidault already
is facing grave conflict with
Frances labor unions.
While the unions, supported by
the Communist party, have de-
manded Is per cent increase in
wages, the government has decided
to grant only Is per cent raise.
This Is per cent raise has been
rejected by representatives of the
workers, since although it includes
bonuses to special categories OF
labor, such as the heads OF large
families, it actually means only a
bare 6 per cent increase for the
ordinary wage Garner
Special Meeting Begins.
The workers delegates have, how
ever, accepted an invitation to at
tend July 4-20 special general
economic conference, the aim of
which will be to fix prices and
salaries
II their demands are not granted
by the conference, the workers will
resort to more drastic means OF
achieving their objectives, it is un-
derstood.
This means that a general strike
might we'll coincide with the opening
here of the general peace con-
ference
For the last two years, the bal
ancing OF prices and salaries has
been one of the greatest headaches
OF successive French governments.
Prices have gone up, but salaries
have rarely followed.
Official prices are from six to
seven times higher than in 1899.
On the black market, they range
from 10 to II times the prewar
level. The majority of French
salaries are about four times what
they were in 1899, and many en-
ployes of the government are still
earning 5000 francs (about 2.5O)
monthly.
Initiation Is Danger.
Behind the demands of the work.
ers turks the ugly spectre of gen.
eral imitation and a new devalua-
ton of the franc.
II government employees insist
on getting their full 25 per cent
increase, 1t will mean that 50,O0O.-
100000 francs (about $4,000, ,0OO)
more must be obtained from the
taxpayers. In private industry, the
workers demands will mean that
100, 0,000, 100000 more francs Zap
proximately s840,000,00O must be
extracted from a barely self-sus-
tanning economy.
At present, the French budget
fluctuates between $4,000, 900, 900
and 380,000,000 900 francs (about
s2,856,o0o,o 900 to s3,1s2,0O0,O ,O0o) an
nually.

on Senator Connally's proposal or
either of two others offered by the
Russian and Belgian delegations.
During the debate, amid roars OF
laughter from councilmen and spec
tators, Senator Connally declared:
In a spirit of Cancellation the
United States delegation has giver
preference to the World Federation
of Trade Unions in its proposal .
We seat them in the amen corner
right beside the priest. We told tn,
federation, Go up and sit by tn,
chairman, as close to him as you cal
get-if you can get any closer"
The Senator's reference was to tn
fact that the committee chairman
Dmitra Manuilsky of the Sovie

World Federation of Trade Union
request to the Assembly's Genera
Committee.
Mr.. Manuilsky laughed heartily.

Put Over 10 Monday

Reopening of Senate hearings on
the nomination of Edwin w. Pauley,
oil man and former treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee, to
be Undersecretary of the Navy, has
been postponed from tomorrow until
Monday.
The Naval Affairs Committee had
announced last night that the fight

morrow. but changed the plans
again today, with the explanation
that some committee members are
out of the city.
Senator Tobey, Republican, Of New
Hampshire, chief opponent Of the
nomination, Is guarding the names
Of witnesses he plans to call.
Since the hearings were recessed
a week ago, influential Democrats
at the Capitol have been hoping
Mr.. Pauley would Withdraw, in view
Eof reliable indications that he faces
almost certain defeat If the Senate
roll Is called on the nomination.
Despite the gloomy reports from
Capitol Hill Democrats, over the
nomination, Mr.. Pauley has made
known through close friends that
he intends to stay in the fight.

The modified Patman housing
bill is expected to be reported te
the House tomorrow, and .soor
thereafter steps will be taken tc
add amendments sought by the
administration in carrying out Its
program for construction of 2,700,-
900 homes by the end of 1947.
This was disclosed today by q
spokesman for the House Banking
Committee after a conference OF
Democratic and Republican leaders
who agreed on all but one point in
the administration proposals fol
legislation-ceilings on some 49,
000, 600 used houses.
With Housing Administrator Wyatt
insisting that some price lid be
placed on existing homes, it is ex-
pected that administration forces
will fight this one out on the House
floor. Mr.. Wyatt said yesterday that
the program would be handicapped
without this authority.
Premium Plan Favored.
Although Republican leaders op.
pose ceilings on old homes. they
went along readily with the Demo.
cratic conferees on another contro.
versial issue-an appropriation Of
$500 900 900 for premium payment,
to spur building material produc.
ton.
Mr.. Wyatt maintains that subsi.
dies will not bring about higher
prices for finished houses and they
can be reduced or eliminated NOR,
easily when no longer needed.

There seems to be an adequate

for the returning war veteran.
THE situation in the disposal Of

become so muddled and confused
that hundreds of veterans who
wanted to acquire some of this
property for the purpose OF setting

hood usually gave up in disgust.
