Outside of Lille, Toulouse and

Small Provincial Disorders

Clerménd-Ferrand, there had been no major street disorders, and in these cities nobody was seriously hurt.

M. Leon Jouhaux, Secretary-General of the C.G.T, claimed that there had been a complete two-hour stop-pogo in Paris transport yesterday morning, but owing to requisitions, the men were confronted with resumption of work, which they did not resist.

In nationalized industriês, the workers operated a stay-in strike, which was not seen by the general public.

M, Jouhaux also claimed complete stoppage of work in the mines and the complete strike of dockers at ports. He stressed that the C.G.T. urged throughout that the safety services be strictly carried on.

The probability now is that both sides will display & tendency speedily to forget the incident, and the Gov= ernment is expected to be magnani mous in its hour of triumph, while the workers will accept the Decree Laws as the best for the country at the present time.—Reuter.
