PARTS, May 1. Twenty four gen
eral strikes, called by French labor
to demonstrate its solidarity, are ap
parently generally complete today.
Practically all work in Paris had been
f topped by 10 o'clock. Only a few
cars, tguses and subway trains on short
runs are operating.
There are no indications of violence
and the city is quiet.
Additional troops were brought in
last night, and small patrols kept the
streets clear and crowds moving. Po
lice are confident there will be no out
breaks. The railway strike seems to have
met with general response, although
government leaders believe it will col
lapse shortly after the end of the gen
eral strike at midnight. Railway lead
ers ordered the men out for an In
definite period to enforce nationalisa
tion of the lines. They are supported
by miners.
Authorities forbade all parades and
demonstrations in Paris , and other
large cities. Syndicalists agreed to
obey the order.
