As Blum went to the Elysee palace, with his tentative list of ministers al: ready made up, France was in the midst of strikes which unofficially were estimated to embrace approxi- mately 500,000 workers. Manufacturers declared the strikes threaten to paralyse the nation’s in- dustry, Sarraut Cabinet Quits Blum was called to power within two hours after Premier Albert Sar- raut and his coalition cabinet had resigned. The strike movement was met sud denly by a refusal on the part of lead- ers of metal industries to conduct any further negotiations with s:rikers un- til the latter evacuate more than 200 factories. ‘Wha rumors concerning the strikes and Blum’s intentions flooded Paris because of a complete cessation in ernment in the chamber of deputies to the chair.
