NEW STRUGGLE IMMINENT
WAGE INCREASE DEMANDS IN FRANCE
NZPA—Reuter—Copyright
Rec. 8 p.m. PARIS, Jan. 16. A new struggle in France between the Government and organised labour over higher wage demands seems imminent following several “lightning" strikes for increased wages in the past few days. The main pressure comes from the Communist-led General Confederation of Labour, but the movement is fully supported at this stage by the Socialist Christian and other trade union organisations. This creates a difficult position inside the Coalition Government. where some Socialist and Popular Republican Ministers are inclined to think that some new wage concessions to labour are desirable. The police went into action early to-day to clear sit-down strikers from the Paris motor car works of PanhardLevassor, where 3000 workers have been on strike since January 13 demanding higher wages.
