LONDON, Oct. 11.
“Moi’e than 500,000 workers are idle in France and the strike now entering its second week is showing signs of developing into a bitter drawn-out struggle between the Communists and the Government,” says Reuter’s Paris correspondent.
“The Communist-led General Confederation of Labour, the driving force behind the strike wave, will open its annual congress today.
French railway workers at the same time will vote on whether they should join the coal miners. “The strike is reaching on the political situation, with several provincial delegates of the Socialist Party’s national council urging Communist participation in the Government. ‘Parish priests in the Meurthe-et-Moselle Department, where clashes have occurred, read from their pulpits yesterday a statement, said to have been approved py the Bishop of Nancy, endorsing the workers’ claims for higher wages to meet, the increased cqst of living.”
