Paris, Nov. 26 lU'i Thousands of strikers marching on police headquarters in Lyon today were A scattered by tear gas in a Ilareup of violence in the communist-led strike wave which had all but uaralyzed France. A call for a general strike of railroad workers fell short of realization. Some trains were run ning in and out of Paris, although nationwide transport was crip "plod. Premier Robert Schuman's gov ernment decided to retreat before the "legitimate" demands of French labor for wage increases.

The flurry of violence at Lyon was the first on such a scale since the Marseille riots two weeks ago. Strikers in Lyon held a meeting at the central labor exchange un der the auspices of the General Confederation of Labor. After the meeting several thou sand strikers moved on the pre fecture of police. A large force of officers resorted to tear gas to disperse the massed strikers. Cabinet Sleets The finishing touches were put to Schuman's program in a four hour cabinet meeting. Pending communication of the cabinet's decisions to labor leaders and em ployers, no details were revealed. Government officials denied that a general purge of Russians was in progress, but said their investigation was not complete and more arrests could be' ex pected. 1 The expulsion orders were sign ed Monday, it was disclosed, and at a set hour, national police in spectors appeared simultaneously at the homes of the 20 Russians. Some lived in Paris and some in the country. Told to Leave They were told they would have to leave France as soon as possi ble, but would have a few hours In which to wind up their affairs. It was believed that they would be taken to the border of the Rus sian zone of Germany, probably by plane. Nor did the ministry of interior explain exactly how the Russians had extended "their activities out side the realm of their work."

Molotov Asks End Of Big 4 German Rule Council Finally Agrees On Agenda; Session Is Reported Very Stormy London, Nov. 26 UP Russian foreign minister V. M. Molotov today called for an early end of the big four administrative role in Germany and proposed the im mediate creation of a democratic government for all of that coun try. Molotov's proposals on Ger many were made at a stormy second meeting of the council of foreign ministers. The council finally agreed upon an agenda after hearing Molotov denounce the "Imperialistic" nations of the west. Secretary of state' George C. Marshall upbraided Molotov for makjpg allegations which he said were "figments of propaganda." Molotov Chairman Molotov, chairman of today's meeting, opened the session with a long statement. He charged that the United States and some of the democratic nations of west ern Europe were trying to make an imperialistic approach to Ger many and to block an early Ger man peace treaty. For the economic point of view. Molotov charged, such an ap proach was designed to weaken Germany because of the western fear of German competition in world markets. The west, he added, was trying to establish special positions for itself and to create slave states. New War Predicted "This will lead to two types of countries those which are slaves and those which are masters," he said. "This will lead to conflict and in turn to a third world war." At once Marshall denounced Molotov for allegedly "evil mo tives which are figments of propaganda and not of the mind." Ine order ol the agenda set the Austrian treaty ' report first. It was passed at once,' without dis cussion, to the deputies who will (fleet tomorrow.
