STORMY SESSION OF CHAMBER.

.BUT FRENCH GOVERNMENT GETS BILLS THROUGH. “PIGS AND SCOUNDRELS.” ■ißy Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) Received Friday, 10 p.m. PARIS, June 11. When the Chamber of Deputies met the Rightists began obstructing in ■order to prevent discussion on new Government Bills, but a show of hands rejected a motion to shelve them on the pretext that the factories were still occupied and law and order had not been respected. Uproar, punctuated with cries of ‘‘Pigs! ’ ’ and "Scoundrels!” greeted M. Blum's introduction of the measures. Another wild demonstration was precipitated by his declaration that he would not order the police and the Garde Mobile to enter occupied factories. A measure exempting ex-servicemen’s pensions from taxation was passed without a division, and the Pay and Holidays Bill, granting 15 days’ leave after a year’s service, was passed by 563 votes to one. After a monotonous debate, the Chamber eventually passed the Restora tion of Cuts Bill, which, incidentally, precludes civil servants taking jobs outside State employment, and adopted the Collective Contracts Bill ■by 528 votes to seven. The Chamber then adjourned at 8 p.m. to debate the Forty Hour Week Bill at 0.30 a.m. on June 12.
