Paris, July SI. The labor war be came extremely serious this afternoon when the government announced its de cision to arrest the leaders of the gen eral federation of labor, and thla an nouncement was followed by a call from the federation for a general strike of the masons and typesetters. The masons are divided, about half havlntf quit work. The typesetters have been drawn Into the trouble by an effort of the leaders to tt ud nress utterances which have been unfavorable to them. The strike leaders believe they can get along bet ter without the papers. The government In Its decision to ar rest the leaders of the federation, holds the organization responsible for the out break; Thursday at Vigneux and other labor riots. I,abor leaders say they are prepared to fight and a great Industrial upheaval la threatened. Government officials explained that the typesetters are working under an agreement and cannot strike without breaking It. It Is very doubtful wheth er they will go out at the command of tne rjderation. Reports from Vlgneux this rtfternooii state that 68 soldiers, engaged in put ting down the riot Thursday, were wounded and that several of tiiem am near death. This is in addition to a large0 number of strikers seriously hurt. The general federation this afternoon ail- ana they responded unanimously, all topping work at once.
