FRENCH BANK STRIKE.
"MANY - WOMEN INCLUDED.
Referring to the French, bank, strike, which has just conclusled, the Paris cor respondent of a London paper wrote
cently:
There can be no doubt that the bank employees of France, who hitherto have been regarded as most unlikely of all people to resort to a stoppage of work to have their grievances remedied, hara now taken up the question of their pay in dead caraent Mature clerks who re- ceive the equivalent of from £5, 10s. tol

it is an astonishing experience to see the hall crammed on the floor and in the galleries as it has been every day re cently. This is a strike in which women are involved equally with men, änd to-day's multitude seemed to be com posed of equal proportions of the exca Once one gets wedged into a position in the hall, it is necessary to retain it to the end of the gathering, so tightly pack." ad is the audience..

MUSKETRY,
The inclusion of so many women is another feature of the strike. Here again Dost of the strikers are young, and the toppage of work and pay is na serious a matter for them us it is for their male comrades. They seem to be as deter. mined ne the men are to continue this struggle “ jusqu'au bout.". Certainly the presence of some thousands of girla and young women day after day at a reminder of the modern evolution manifestation of strikers is an impres of industrialism. There was an extra ordinary scene when it was announced from the chair that some 1,500 employees of the Société Générale, most of whose personnel had so far remained at work, had joined in the strike, and when an effort was made to find room in the already packed hall, for this body of recruits there was prolonged cheezing and clapping of hands, and a similar de monstration could be heard among the crowds collected outside the buildings. Other occasions for outbursts were the announcements of the growth of the movement in provincial centres by dele gates who have paid visita there. Ao No. 288 Fte.
