FRANCE FACING GENERAL STRIKE Public Opinion Is Against Walkout of R. R. Workers BY HENRY Woop PARIS, Feb. 28—The National Federation of Railway Men yp ie dered a general strike of all workers {n France. The strike is ef- fective immediately. Altho the «trike order declares that sabotage will «not be coun- jtenanced, the government tmmedi- lately ordered troops to Paria to pro- tect railway property and prevent rioting. The “revolutionary character” of the strike, as pointed out by Pre mier Millerand In his address to the chamber of deputies yesterday, ap- parently haa been averted today. The professional syndicate of French rail- way workers issued an appeal de nouncing the soviet agitators who early had announced their intention to control the lines by soviets and discharge all workers who refused to join them. The appeal characterized the at- tempt to “produce a state of an- archy” thru stopping food supplies by the strike as a “crime and high social treason.” France, the appeal said, has the greatest need for activity by all her workers, “to raise herself from her ruins.” It characterized the strike an “anti-national,* concluding: “We issue a formal order for all members to continue work.” The council of ministers has de cided to establish two meatiens days |a week, should the strike render it 1 | allies, } eowanary. Public opinion and the press, ex- cept in radical circles, were violently opposed to the strike.
