FRENCH CIVIL SERVANTS
REDUCTIONS IN PAY CAUSE TROUBLE POLICE CALLED OUT IN PARIS (United Press Assoplatlon) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) PARIS, July 19. Despite an official ban, the civil servants determined to hold a mass demenostration of protest against the reductions in pay, but they were circumvented by 6000 mounted and foot police on duty, detachments of which repeatedly charged. They arrested 500 persons, restoring order early in the evening without any grave incident. The dimensions of the meeting were automatically reduced by locking^all the underground railway exits. The encounters were never more than scuffles, the police buffeting demonstrators with gloved hands, the latter retaliating with fists.
