Its lessening strike worries compli- cated by armed rightists and “foreign influences,” the cabinet invoked two actions: 1. Stringent application of laws Gissolving “armed political leagues,” directed specifically against the Croix de Feu (Fiery Cross). 2. Indictment and prosecution of extreme leftists on charges of at- tempting to turn the labor disputes into an economic revolution. “The Croix de Feu is the army of dig capital,” charged Premier Leon Blum’s newspaper, Le Populaire. “It is armed and preparing for civil war.” Public prosecutors began legal ac- tion against followers of Leon Trotsky, former Russian Communist leader who split with the Soviets after the death of Lenin. Police raided offices of a newspaper which Trotsky was reported to own after Communists predicted French factories may “soon become the prop- erty” of workers who joined the wan- ing “folded arms” strike. New decrees aimed against “sedi- tious organizations” were drafted by Roger Salengro, minister of the in- terior. The strike continued to lessen as thousands of workers -took: up their jobs anew.

Senate-House conferees on the rev- enue bill Monday locked into a dozen. or more proposals designed to strike & middle road between house pro- visions calling for a graduated tax up to 42% per cent on undistributed cor- porate dividends and the flat 7 per cent in the senate’s bill. Senator King (Dem., Utah) said he hoped the conferees would agree soon, intimated that some new compromise might be considered Tuesday, and said he thought the bill could be pushed through congress this week. One substitute under discussion called for a corporation income tax of 15 to 25 per cent, graduated accord- ing to percentages of withheld cor- porate dividends, after the fashion of ‘Tuesday.
