Paris, June 24.
The Senate's rejection of the postal employees' demands for improved working conditions resulted in a sudden revolt at the Central Post Office. Two thousand pefstmen barricaded the building, utilising mail bags' and postal vans, and refused to allow mails to be despatched. Five hundred police cleared the gates, but were unable to gain admission to the building. The Minister of Commerce harangued the men from the" street, but the postmen shrieked the speech down. A hundred thousand letters for Britain, America and elsewhere are held up.
