FRENCH LABOUR TROUBLE
ONE DAY’S STRIKE ORDERED. THE DOCKERS BLAMED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received August 29, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, August 28. Although Havre is quiet to-day, the General Confederation of Labour has ordered a day’s general strike to-mor-row. Other unions, the building trades, upholsterers, and even hairdressers, have decided to cease work on different days. M. Gustave Herve, writing in “La Victoire,” declares that the chief cause of the trouble is the dockers, “France’s roughest, most backward workers, and most abandoned drunkards.”
