j Paris Oct. I 4. The railway strikers
are returning to their former posi-
; thins today and il is believed that the
government will bring about a settle-
mem of the controversy. A part ot
I the trains of the Western and North-
i
em toads resumed operations . today.
The strikers are still trying to se
cure a walkout ot alt union men m
sympathy with ihe railroad meu but.
so far have been unsuccessful In the
attempt.
Under the French law the reservist t
failing to obey orders to support me
government are classed as deserte ;i
and the announcement that the gov
ernment will invoke this law has
frightened many ot the strikers into
returning to work.
Several hundred labor leaders am
under arrest and will be tried on a
charge of Inciting soldiers to disregard
the orders of the government.
Paris Oct. It. The arrest of some
of the most prominent strike leaders
and the failure of the large majority
of the employes of tile Kastern rail-
road the Paris Lyons and Mediter-
ranean and the Paris-Orleans roads to
respond to the strike order have had
the effect of dampening the spirits of
t he strikers who now number about :
1001)00 men and of encouraging the
government to continue lis repressive
measures- w ith a firm hand.
.Many of those who have been called
to the colors have responded but as
yet they have not been ordered to
service on the railroads-. Tne subway
eniployes who voted to strike remain-
ed at. their posts thereby averting "
very serious situation.
The strike declared by the electric-
ians is partially effective' About half
the city of Paris iuctiriiug some boule-
vards Is without electric light and
many electric cars tire stranded for
lack of power.
Owing to the energies of the pre-
mier and the minister of public works
Il iias been possible to maintain coni-
municution with the points from winch
food supplies are brought into the city.
And these communications will be
kept' open at any cost. Paris there
tore is no longer in any danger of star
vatioti. '
