BELGIAN POLITICS
INFLUENCED BY REFORM IN FRANCE United Press Association—By Electric Tel egraph—Copyrigh t (Received June 11, 5.5 p.m.) BRUSSELS, June 10. The situation in France is influencing Belgium. The programme of M. Paul van Zeeland, who has undertaken to form a Cabinet, is believed to include paid holidays, though it is opposed to a forty-hour week. It also favours collective bargaining by the employers and workers, the establishment of technical councils in each industry to advise upon the laws affecting them, and it sponsors drastic constitutional reforms. An attempt by Belgian coalminers at Liege to emulate the stay-in strikers failed. The police ejected them without incident.
