Strike Aftc*r Riot

mobile guards were called nut to
patrol the streets of Marseille yes
terday as communist labor leaders
[ issued a general strike call follow
ing a day of rioting in which one
person was fatally wounded and
six others hurt.
While the Communists claimed
their strike call had met a wide
response among factory hands, in
dications as the day advanced were
that workers were sticking to their
jobs except in trades in which
I their unions previously had or
j dered strikes.
Affected were all seamen, long
shoremen and members of the
metal, building and chemical
workers unions. Some food pack
ers also were reported out.
All shipping in the port was tied
up by the strike, which began as
a protest against an increase in
street car fares and assumed
broader proportions following the
arrest of four union demonstrators
Monday.
A meeting of the Rhone Delta
central council of trade unions was
called for tomorrow to decide
whether to heed the communist
appeal for a general strike. An af
firmative decision would affect
the entire department — an area
extending more than 60 miles of
industrialized coastline and taking
in the inland cities of Arles and
Aix.
