HAVAS REVIEW,

PARIS, February 23.

The spread of the French railroad strike from Paris and the Mediterranean to other lines, did not result in the complete hold up of those systems. The traffic was only slightly disturbed, suburban services being mostly affected. In spite of the general strike proclamation numbers of men have returned to work and the general impression is that the move ment will fail. The Government's swift action in ordering the mobilisation of a large number of workers had a good effect and supplies at Paris nor other cities did not fall. They report no disturbance and the movement is not popular. Numerous resolutions were voted all over the country dgainst it. The miners" representatives telegraphed last evening to all unions that work is not to cease.
