SEE-SAW SITUATION IN FRENCH STRIKES

The strike movement in Franco ses-sawed over the week-end. It took a túrn for the worse in the metal industry, where about 300,000 people are involved.

But in the gas and electrical industries, affecting 110,000 employees, the foremen decided to go back to work to prevent gas supplies passing the donger point as the result of the four-days' strike.'
