Forsand reinforcements were moved into the Paris district alone. The troops acted with the greatest circ )ection and mostly were kept in the background, ready for action only in case of trouble.

Suburbs Feel It Most

Operation of transport service and public utilities in Paris was almost normal. Schools, shops, hotel, banks and offices were open. Some newspapers failed to appear. The suburb industrial districts felt the effect of the strike most. Transport in Marseilles was crippled an dthe docks were tied up. Minor clashes occurred. Boulogne port also|was tied up. Disorder also _ occurred in Lyons. In his statement on the result of the strike, M. Jouhaux said: “In the nationalized industries and state offices, the workers obliged by the requistion order to report for work folded their arms and refused to labor but that was not visible from the outside. . “In private industry, we know that in the mines there was an 80 per cent defection, only 20 per cent of the workers remaining to assure safety. he dockers and seamen struck 100 per cent. : “The situation in the chemical and steel industries and building trades is similar to previous strikes. “We wish to remind that the C. G. T. foresaw everywhere that the safety service would function normally.” | Lack of Taxis

The only outward sign of the strike in Paris, the lack of taxicabs, disappeared in the afternoon as the chauffeurs returned to work. . The 24-hour strike was called by the labor confederation as a protest against M. Daladier’s recovery program, which called for sacrifice of some of the social changes brought about by labor, Socialist and Communist pressure during the governxient of former Premier Leon Blum. v ne of the chief decrees protested ¢ 7 the federation partly abroated the 40-hour week. M. Daladier, charging that the strike was| political rather than social, put vital public services under the milits and in effect conscripted rkers. It was announced that M. Daladiér would broadcast a message to the nation tonight in which, it was believed, he might announce certain - modifications of the recovery decrees which the strikers protested. Those reports indicated that M. Daladier was considering revision of the decree which put a flat 2 per cent tax: on wages of every citizen. If it is changed, the purpose will

“Let us no longer leave ourselves

any doubt over the fact that the United States, after Soviet Russia’s temporary surrender in world politics has taken over the job of official personification of world Jewry,” one publication said. The newspaper carried a full page picture layout with a photograph of President Roosevelt. A cartoonist’s balloon issued from the mouth.

is literally "refined" coal. That's why we

say coke is "custom-made" and why it

can give you these three big advantages:

® CONVENIENCE—Coke is light, eay to handle. It requires less furnace firing because it burns uniformly ‘and can be easily

regulated.

® CLEANLINESS — Cleanest of the solid fuels, coke does not break down into dust, leaves but few ashes and burns without

smoke.

® ECONOMY—Many of the 15,000 Indianapolis Coke users tell us their winter's fuel cost is considerably lower with coke.

That's because Citizens’ Coke is "con centrated'' heat—93% carbon.
