Bourse target of businessmen
NZPA-Reuter Paris A militant group of French businessmen threw smokebombs and firecrackers on the floor of the Paris Bourse (Stock Exchange) yesterday in protest against a Govern-ment-imposed price freeze. The National Association of Small and Medium Industries, in a campaign to save its members from bankruptcy, delayed trading by more than an hour. A spokesman for the association said that the action was only- part of a
national series of spectacular demonstrations. Its members had also blocked the railway station at Bellegardc in south-east France, and intended to barricade the railway line between Paris and Nantes. The Socialist Government came under sharp criticism from trade unions and employers last month when it introduced a four-montb freeze on prices and wages aimed at cutting France’s inflation rate of almost 14 per cent.
