In doing so, it provides that for
each day of, violation of ETC reg

FTC violations. The penalties
would apply to violators Of all
F'rC orders dealing with all busi-
nesses in FTCs jurisdiction.
Some critics told the House this
might cause great hardships for
some businesses.

|Bidau|t Orders Draft
Of French Workers 10
Bar Utility WaIkout
By the Associated Press

PARIS, March g. Premier
George Bidault's government Or
dered the draft of public utility
workers today to avert a nation
wide gas and electricity stop
page threatening on the crest
of Frances worst strike wave in
three years.
The draft will be applied initi-
ally to only 10 per cent of the
100000 utility workers, a govern
ment spokesman said.
Workers in the nationalized
power plants had been scheduled
to walk out at midnight. Both
Communist and non-Communist
unions voted the strike to back
up demands for wage increases.
The civilian draft order-to be
served on the workers by police
men-makes drafted employees
who refuse to wodk subject to loss
Of their jobs, fines and from six
days to five years in Jail.
Pay Increases Demanded.
The workers demand monthly
increases beginning with mini
mum boost of 5000 francs ($8.50
for the lowest paid. The govern
ment has offered 4.9 per cent in
crease which would range from 750
to 5000 francs ($2 to SD. The
middle of the-road government,
fighting imitation, refused to go
beyond this.
Paris limped along in the third
day of a transportation strike
which partially tied up the city,
muddling the subway, bus and
streetcar systems. Large numbers
of Taxis and 5000 buses manned
by the army helped to keep things
moving in Frances first city.
Some Communist unions
have been deserting the transpor-
tation strike, which was called by
the Communists. About 10 per cent
OF the bus lines were running.
Some 100000 of the Nations S
million and a half metal workers
were idle throughout France, and
automobile factories were hard hit
by a walkout.
About 16,500 workers struck in
the textile industry at Lille.
At Nancy, Marseille and Cler-
mont-Ferrano, trolley car work.
ers were on strike.
Throughout the country sew
eral thousand insurance company
employees struck.
Reds Lead Coal Strike.
The Communicated General
Confederation of Labor is direct
ing strike among coal miners in
Northern France.
These walkouts have been &C
companied recently by a rash of
token 24-hour stoppages in va
rious branches of industrial life,
notably among dockworkers in
the ports. 80.
The draft order in the utility
crisis was ordered under a 1888
law, government spokesman
said. The spokesman added that
from 100 to 800 technicians from
the navy would be called in to
help man power stations and as
sure maintenance of service. This
was done in one previous strike.
The government cannot let
France "be paralyzed by such a
strike" the spokesman said. The
government could not 60 beyond
its offer to the utility workers
without increasing the price Of
gas and electricity to the con-
sumers, he added.
