A FIASCO. A GAME OF BLUFF. 228 STRIKERS DISMISSED. Received May 13, 11.10 p.m. PARIS, May 13. The strike has ended in a fiasco, there being only 465 absentees from work. The leaders bluffed yesterday's meeting with imaginary conversations and dummy telephone messages, whereby it was suggested that the provinces supported the strike. The majority of the.employees object to the revolutionary character imparted to the strike. Five hundred military telegraphists and electricians'have'been summoned to Paris, and the wires are carefully watched. Twenty-four out of the thirty-seven London-Paris wires are working. Many business firms are using the Paris Chamber of Commerce courier services to the provinces. The hotelkeepers have organised a foreign service via Brussellc on behalf of 20,000 visitors to Parisian hotels. The Government has decided to dismiss 228 strikers.
