On Clinton-Goldville
Highway at Goldville
Earlier, Premier Robert Schu-1
man’s followers beat down a '25-
hour Communist eJfort to emascu-j
late the measure which provides [
strict penalities for anyone molesting J
non-strickers or fomenting strikes. ;
The assembly action came as
police fought scattered disorders;
throughout the country. These in
cluded a raid on a Paris telephone
evchange by a group of 200 persons
who described themselves as Com
munists, the derailing of a passenger!
train and a hand grenade attack on'
a Commuriists headquarters.
Schuman has demanded the un-|
conditional surrender of the forces j
which have paralyzed France with!
! strikes involving more than 2,000,000 1
workers.
(Negotiations between the govern
ment and the Communist-dominated
General Confederation of Labor i
(CGT) appeared completely dead-
! locked. The Communist national!
strike committee announced it had 1
rejected the governments’ terms for
| ending the strike. The committee
threatened to continue the walkout
(indefinitely.
The Premier’s friends said Schu-
J man determined not to give the CGT
j any chance to claim a victory.
; Approval of the boost in the
strength of the military force came
; near the end of a 35 hour session of
I the assembly—just a half hour short
of the record sitting established in
j 1926. The weary lawmakers began
’ their session Saturday afternoon and
; continued through last night,
j Originally the provision relating
j to troops and the strike control leg-
; islation were contained in the same
j bill titled a “Law for the Defense
j of the Republic.”
j Assembly sources predicted that
| unless a last minute compromise be
tween the government and the CGT
j were reached, the Assembly would
give Schuman the sweeping powers
he asks to halt the wave of labor
unrest sweeping France.
Earlier, the CGT had offered • to
call off the nation-wide strike if
the government would withdraw its
strike control legislation. The gov
ernment replied it would discuss
modifying the measures only after
the workers returned to work.
Labor Minister Daniel Mayer con
ferred with leaders of the GGT to
night.. When the meeting was over
Benoit Frachon } Communist secre
tary-general of the confederation,
declared flatly the “negotiations have
ended.”
Mayer told newsmen he would
have proposed delaying the strike
control bill and consulting the CGT
on its provisions “if the order 'to
return to work had been given to
night.” With 20 of its 38 unions on
j strike, the. CGT has tied up trans-
i portation, mines and the metal in-
i dustry.
Meanwhile, it was announced that
! 200 persons had invaded onfe-of the!
‘^telephone exchanges in Paris , and!
had interrupted service for morel
than five hours before being ousted!
by the police. One hundred and!
fourteen of the demonstrators, all I
of whom claimed membership in the
Communist party, were arrested.
There were other scattered dis
orders. Saboteurs derailed the Paris-
Gneva express near Bourg-en-Bres-; j
se, injuring one person. Four hand
grenades were thrown aUthe^ head
quarters of the Communist party
in St. Brieuc, but no casulties were
reported.
Police in 24 hours seized the edi
tions of eight newspapers on the
grounds that these Leftist publica
tions were inciting disorders. Edi
tions of the Communist newspapers
in Paris, L’Humanite and Cc Soir,
first were confiscated. Then pro
vincial police confiscated the Rouge-
Midi in Marseille and Le Travailleur
Alpin in Annecy, boht Communist
papers. Other papers were seized
in Bordeaux, v Toulouse and Stras
bourg. '
The headlines in the provincial
papers subjected to police action
were almost identical to those print
ed in red ink in L’Humanite; “Be
ware, They Want to Assassinate
The Republic.”
In Paris the press federation is
sued a communique protesting sup
pression of the editions as a viola
tion of the freedom of the press.
The premier’s strike-control bill
contains, among other provisions,
sections which would curb freedom
af speech and of the press for six
months.
Fewer policemen„were in evidence
on th* streets of Paris tonight.
However, at one strike-bound sta
tion four trainloads of police were
being held in readiness but hidden
from the view of the public.
There were reports that the gov
ernment’s drive to halt the wave
of strikes had produced a split in
the Socialist party.
