UNREST IN FRANCE.
GENERAL STRIKE FAILS. EXCITING INCIDENTS. TROUBLE IN BOULOGNE. ' By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Aug. 30. 5.5 p.m. Paris, August 29. The general strike ordered by the Communist confederation of labor is not recognised by the original confederation, which embraces the more conservative trad? unionists, and it was a pitiful fiasco. There were a few exciting incidents in the ■suburbs. Three thousand strikers massed on the tramlines at Bur-longe-sur-Seine and attempted to cut the trnH?y copls as the trams dashed by. Th? crowds stoned the police, injuring several, but they were eventually dispersed by means of charges by mounted troops. Tn Havre conditions are almost normal and the principal services are operat:ng. At Rouen trade unionists decided on -a day’s strike to-morrow. The u'ng Post’s Faris correspondent states, concerning the Havre engineers’ refusal to accept a wag? cut, that the cost of the foodstuffs index' in France is 381. compared with one hundred before the war. —Aus.-N.Z.
