STRIKES AT FRENCH PORTS
EXTENSION OF TROUBLE FEARED (Independent Cable Service.) Received Dec. 5, 11.5 p.m. PARIS, Dec. 5. The seamen at Le Havre voted for a continuation of the strike and a committee has gone to Paris to ask the Minister of Marine, Viscount Chappe de Laine, to withdraw the warrants against the strike leaders.
Thirteen cargo boats are held up at Boulogne as a result of the dockers strike, which was declared when the owners refused to reinstate nine dockers who struck on November 30. The authorities have arrested two secretaries of the Seamen’s Union and issued a warrant for the arrest of a third official. It is believed the new strike may tic up all the ports in addition to Le Havre, Boulogne, Bordeaux and Deippe, which are already affected. The Prime Minister, M. Edouard Daladier, has requisitioned ships in the harbour in an attempt to break the strike at Le Havre, states an Australian Associated Press message.
