REDUCTIONS IN PAY
FRENCH CIVIL SERVANTS.
DEMONSTRATION OF PROTEST.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Paris, July 19.
Despite an official ban civil servants determined to hold a mass demonstration of protest against the reductions in pay, but were circumvented by 6000 mounted and foot police on duty, detachments of which repeatedly charged and arrested 500, thus restoring order early in the evening without any grave incident, the dimensions of which were automatically reduced by locking all the underground railway exits. Encounters were never more than scuffles, the police buffeting with gloved hands and the demonstrators retaliating with fists.
