France In Grip Of Strikes— Non-Communist Miners’ Leaders Meet Premier
(Recd. 1 p.m.) PARIS, October 10. The Premier, Dr Henri Queuille, met non-Communist miners’ representatives today to discuss the strike. Union security crews stood guard over the deserted coal pits and coke ovens in Northern France as the miners’ strike ended its first week.
This action removes one of the most disputed issues between the Government and the strikers. An official announcement said the Government would not requisition the mines, as planned earlier, if their security were guaranteed.
The Communists issued a call for a one-day general strike tomorrow in Moselle province to coincide with the funeral of the Jugoslav miner killed in a clash with the police on October 8 at Merbach. The Communist-led Miners’ Union at Lens rejected the non-Communist
Union’s offer to hold a new strike referendum. The railwaymen’s strike at Chambery has disrupted the train services I between France and Italy. A refer- | endum among all railway workers for or against a strike throughout France will be held tomorrow..
