Finnish Red
Strike Front
By TJsko Kaaapala
. HELSINKI, Finland. Aug. 20
UP) - The nationwide communist
strike offensive showed signs of
weakening today.
Workers in many areas returned
to their jobs. A major split devel
oped in the powerful central trade
union federation.
The social democratic govern
ment of Premier Karl August
Fagerholm, however, remained on
jruard. It kept its army and po
lice forces on an alert.
The f overnment called the wave
of strikes a communist maneuver
to seize power and seat a red re
gime in Helsinki.
The soviet - controlled Dress In
Moscow continued to call the Hel
sinki government's action against
the strikers a "bloody suppression
of Finnish workers." )
Propaganda Campaign
In the third day of the labor
crisis the ministry of finance
opened a propaganda campaign
against communist strikers.
Newspaper advertisements
warned workers not to heed strike
calls and posters attacking the
communists were tacked up in
the streets.
Apparently determined to fight
on, the communists rushed a letter
to President Juho Paasikivi charg
ing the ' strikers' constitutional
rights were violated when police
dispersed a crowd of workers in
Kcmi two days ago.
Violated Treaty
They also claimed the incident
violated Finland's treaty with
Russia. The Finnish government
has a 10-year friendship and mu
tual assistance treaty with the
Soviet Union.
A typical sign of a break in
the strike front came from Tam
pere, 95 miles north of Helsinki,
where only construction workers
walked out.

American commandant of Berlin.
Howley told a news conference
after a four -power meeting on
Thursday the Russians are' trying
to revive the four-power kom
mandarura and regain their veto
power in the rule of all Berlin.
Commenting on this, Neues
Deutschland, organ of the Social
Unity (communist) party, said:
"In this angry belch flares the
whole flury of the cavalry general
from Philadelphia because the
diplomats did not let him make
Berlin worth a war."
"No Berliner will cry for Gen.
Howley." Neues Deutschland said.
"The whole of the Berlin popula
tion will breathe more freely
when the cavalry general saddles
his horse for his ride home.
The Russians said they are not
trying to revive the kommanda-tura.

In some cities food workers re
turned to work. Forestry work
ers, lumberjacks and loggers also
were working in great numbers
after voting to end their strike
at several logging points.
The longshoremen's strike, how
ever, still was effective, and em
ployers admitted the construction
workers walkout was widely ef
fective. The next move on the
strike front is the transport work
ers walkout, scheduled for Mon
day. At the height of the strike wave
33,000 to 45,000 workers were es
timated to have walked out.
The split in the central trade
union federation developed when
the council voted eight-to-five to
order the communist-led unions to
end their strike before Aug. 23
