considerable inconvenience by the postal strike, all the more troublesome because it started without warning last Tuesday night. It was a lightning-strike which ended in a faseo-an unpleasant comedy. Only the employees of the Hotel des Postes or Paris Goneral Post Office, situated in Rue Eticane Marcel, were in the know, for the intention to suddenly go on strike had been a well kept secret. The first intima- tion of the disorder was when the enu- ployees as a protest against the delay of the Sonate in passing the Bill which increases their pay and raises their rent allowance from 300 francs (£12) to 400 franes (16)-prevented the departure of the foreign mails and entrenched them-” selves in the G. P. O. buildings, using mail-begs as a barricade. Another section started unbornessing the horses of the mail vans. By this time the assistance of the police was called; the arrival of the agents ar police was the signal for further grave disturbances; stones and mail-bags were dropped on the heads of the intru- ders, causing many injuries. Eventually the police were beaten back by the strikers, who closed the gates, behind which they erected more mail-bag harricades. The police only succeeded in capturing one of the foolish strikers. News of the defeat of the police soon, reached the ears of M. Hennion, the Prefect of Police, who at onco summoned the soldiers; the latter becante masters or guardians of the Hotel des Postes. One would feel inclined to smile at such a comedy were it not for the enormous amount of inconvenience caused by the postal strike. Millions of letters and parcels laid about undelivered; the strikers, beyond refusing to handle the bags, in no way tampered with them. They were not at war with the public but

In less than 24 hours the strike was over-for the present at least.
