BARGEES ROUTED
(Press Assn.-
police attack with tugs and pumps DESPERATE THREATS
-By Telegraph — Copyrlght).
Paris, August 26. Directing a secretly-concentrated force of 100 mounted police, 40 firemen equipped with four motor-pumps and two tugs manned by Bluejackets, the Prefect of Seine-et-Ooise broke the barrage of three rows of barges at Conflans. A boarding party cut the cables linking 60 barges, which the tugs towed to a backwater. The bargees assisted the tugs on the Prefect's promise to place their grievances before the Government. The Prefect now faces the problem of dispersing the main barrage at Gragno, where the strikers threaten to fill the barges with cement and sink them in the Oise.
