LABOUR IN FRANCE.
APPEAL BY PRIME MINISTER. FEAR OF FINANCIAL CRISIS. United Press Asst.—Elec Tel. Copyright PARIS, Feb. 22. The French Prime Minister, M. Blum, made a broadcast appeal to-day to State employees not to claim farther increases of wages at present lest they precipitate a financial crisis. M. Blum announced that the Cabinet had decided to introduce a Bill to suppress profiteering. This, he said, would stabilise the prices of wheat, coal, flour and other material, and would be extended to cover a wide range of materials and products. It was proposed, the Prime Minister added, to fine or imprison profiteers.
