SCUFFLES WITH POLICE
PAEIS DEMONSTEATION
PROTEST AT PAY CUTS
(Received July 20,. 12,30 p.m.) x PARIS, July 19. Despite the official ban, civil servants are determined to hold a mass demonstration of protest against the reductions in their pay, but they were circumvented by 6000 mounted foot police on duty, detachments of whom repeatedly charged, arresting 500 and restoring order early hi the evening without grave incident.
The size^of the moeting was automatically reduced'by locking all the underground railway exits.
The encounters were never more than scuffles, the police buffeting the demonstrators with gloved hands, the demonstrators retaliating with their fists.
