NO STRIKE IN EGYPT
WORKERS WITHDRAW ORDER (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) CAIRO. June 9. “The Egyptian workers’ syndicates withdrew the order to strike to coincide with Britain’s Victory Day,” says Reuter’s Cairo correspondent. “The Prime Minister (Sidky Pasha), who thanked them for doing so, said he was satisfied with the situation." The Associated Press correspondent says the Government prevented the strike. Sidky Pasha, who banned demonstrations during the British and Egyptian negotiations, invoked firm measures. One union leader said the police threatened them with imprisonment unless they signed documents agreeing to work and urged other workers to do the same. The total casualties reported in the day of riots at Alexandria timed to coincide with Britain’s victory celebrations were one Egyptian killed and 15 wounded, and four British soldiers wounded. Most of the Egyptians were wounded when grenades were thrown •t Egyptian Army police who were trying to disperse demonstrators in the native quarter.
