(United Service.) (Received June 16, 12.20 p.m.) ' PARIS, June 6 (delayed). The strike outlook has improved, and a compromise has been reached in several industries. Others, including coalminers, shop assistants, and clothiers, have secured their demands and returned to work. Metal workers, transporters, and railwaymen are unruly. Many troops were drafted in as a precautionary measure, and this overawed their meetings. Laundry and electrical workers have joined the strike.
