Communists Efforts
To Tie Up Finland
With Strike Fails
By the Associoted Press

HELSINKI, Finland. Aug. o.
The Communist strike offensive
against the Finnish government
lost momentum again today as
workers apparently remained deaf
to Red pleas for further walkouts.
Although the Transport Workers
Union called strike for this
morning, traffic was normal on
Helsinki's streets.
The Communist timetable had
called for more than 100000 of
Finland's 100000 unionized work.
ers to be on strike uday in what
the government charged was an
attempt to prepare for Com
munist coup.
The government Las not yet
been able to compile an official
report on the number Who actually
have left work. but employer esti-
mates gave the total at 27,000.
Wood workers also scheduled a
walkout for today but the effec-
tiveness of that strike was not
known Immediately.
The strike threat generally ap-
peared to have been overcome by
the combined firm efforts of the
Social Democratic (Socialist)
government and Premier Karl A.
Fagerholm and the Loyal Central
Trade Union Federation.
Strikers in many industries were
reported streaming back to work.
These included bakers. brewery
workers. dock workers, lumbermen
and log floaters.
The waning strike movement
drew strong comment from Fin
lands Communist press.
The official Red party organ,
Tykansan Sanomat, yesterday
charged police action against the
strikers was aimed at preparing
for war against the SOVIET Union.
This followed earlier Communist
charges that the government was
violating the pace treaty with
Russia.
The government officially de-
MED, meanwhile. reports of al
hunger strike by a former Com
munist police officer arrested at
Kemi, scene of a clash between
troops and striking lumbermen
last Thursday.
Communist newspapers insisted,
however, that the former officer
was on hunger strike. They also
reported a 52-year-old woman had |
died as result of the fighting.
The government announced that
"a persons had been detained by
Kemi police investigating respon-
sibility for the riot.
