Five hundred military telegraphists and electricians were summoned to Paris and the wires carefully watched. Twenty-four out of thirty-seven London to Paris wires are working. Many business firms are using the' Paris Chamber of Commerce couriers’ service to the pi’ovinces. The hotelkeepers have organised a foreign, service via Brussels on behalf of 20,000 visitors to Parisian hotels.
The Government has decided to dismiss 22S strikers.
