Paris, Sept. 4.
Labour troubles which have threatened the Cabinet with collapse for two weeks today neared a crisis as extremists pressed a nationwide campaign against the Government's plan to relax the 40 hour working week regulations.
Many groups throughout France adopted resolutions demanding that the Government maintain the 40 hour week in all industries.
The Government revealed recently that it planned to relax the working hour regulations in order to speed up production in industries important to national defence.—United Press.
