Populace Grave When Illness
Becomes Serious; Stocks
On Market Affected
PARIS. Dee. 18. (AP) Paris
sighed with relief tonight on
learning officially that the con
dition of the former President
Polncare was slightly improved.
Throughout the day there had
been conflicting reports on the
illness of the war-time president.
Awaking to near M. Polncare
was dead, the population of Par
is listened all morning to rumors
which finally reached the cham
ber of deputies, where many poli
ticians and statesmen Immediate
ly left for Rue Marbeau to pay
their respects to the departed
statesman.
A short time later an official
denial of M. Poincare's death was
printed. "
Although the doetors have
maintained that the former presi
dent's illness Is of the nature of
a generaf breakdown with a slight
congestion of one lung, the pa
tient experiencing some difficulty
in breathing, reports from other
sources close to the statesman say
he is suffering from the begin
nings of partial paralysis.
The fact that M. Polncare had
no fever and his pulse was nor
mal cheered his friends and ad
mirers.
In spite of reassuring news
from the statesman's bedside, the
realisation that M. Polncare is
last to active French politics for
all time has caused a feeling of
deep regret.

Railroad and Industry Scale
Held out ol Line With
Other Price Cuts
Cooperation With Employers
Needed Else Industry
Faces Collapse
BOISE, Ida.. Dec. 18 (AP)
Governor H. C Baianage toaay
warned labor it must accept low
er wages during the depression
period or face the danger of '
weakened or collapsed business
structure under which it works.'
In an Interview given the Asso
ciated Press, Governor Baldrldge
said wages, particularly on rail
roads and Is manufacturing
plants have been maintained at a
level all out of keeping with the
present scale of commodity
prices, business and general fi
nancial conditions.
"I suggest this reduction," he
said, "knowing it conflicts with
the expressions of President
Hoover, and knowing, moreover.
it will meet with instant opposi
tion from those classes of labor to
which it applies.
"The fact of the matter is.
those classes of labor still insist
ing on the high wartime level of
wages must offer ' to cooperate
with employers looking to lower
the schedule, or face the danger
of collapsing Industry.
"This Is a hard argument to
put forth, but it means simply
this: labor and the employers
must get together, must under
stand that the customers will not
endure high prices for commodi
ties that ought to be sold cheaper
in this country except for the cost
of labor that goes into construc
tion. w - -
"It means, in cold figures, this:
if the employer goes to the labor
representatives and tells him a
dollar a day must be cut off each
man's wages, that labor represen
tative will have to understand
that unless this, concession Is
made business is likely to fail.

71 JTADRID Dee. 18-(AP) .
Iff Spain was outwardly calm
tonight in spite of a revolu
tionary aftermath in the form of
an extensive general strike that
affected, during the day. almost
every section of tbe country.
Order was enforced by the pres
ence of 7S.000 troops and thous
ands of civil guards called out
yesterday under Premier Damaso
Berenguers proclamation of
state of siege. They clashed In a
number of cities today with strik
ers, but official reports received
In Madrid denied that there was-
bloodshed.
'Martial law was still in force,
and a strict censorship prevented
the circulation, by regular chan
nels, of any news that might serve
to alarm the population. Reports
that the situation was much more
critical than appeared on the sur
face were denied by officials.
It was known, however, that
strikes broke out in Barcelona,
center of Catalonlan unrest, Cu-
enca, Orense, Gljon, Saragossa,
Lerlda, Zamora, Ferrol, Huelva,
San Sebastian, Santander. For
a time a food shortage was fear
ed in some Important cities but
later, through the efforts of
troops and policemen who assist
ed in the protection of reopened
shops, restaurants and bakeries,
this condition was alleviated.
Heavy Patrols Maintained
In Centers of Unrest
Nevertheless, heavy patrols of
troops were maintained tonight
in the Important centers of un
rest. In most of the points af
fected, according to government
authorities here, business was
resumed normally in the alter-
Boon and public services were
maintained. .
A number of arrests were made
alid as a result Premier Berengu-
er said no further revolutionary
attempts were expected.
In an exclusive statement to
the Associated Press the Premier
declared that the army was every
where loyal and that the revolu
tionary movement Inaugurated by
Major Ramon Franco at Cuatro
Vlentos airfield yesterday had
railed completely."
Officers involved in yesterday's
revolt attempt wer under court-
martial today and it was expected
that their sentences would be pro
mulgated tomorrow. The gener
al expectation was that they
would suffer little more than a re
duction In rank.
