"a. huge and threatening fleet of First Break Seen J In French S’r‘rikes PARIS (Reutersl -— The first break in a wave of industrial strikes that have threatened to paralyze the French economy appeared Tuesday night when 3.000 strikers at the state-run natural gasfieid at Lacq agreed to return to work. The strikers accepted a man- agement offer putting them on the same footing as some 240.- 000 coal miners. whose walkout has stopped production in the French coalfields for 26 days.‘ Thursday. Management pledged to givel the gas workers any wage in- creases and benefits the coal miners might receive. The settlement. which fol- lowed the first outbreak of vio- lence since the wave of labor trouble began. eased the crisis in the hard-hit gas industry but left the fundamental conflict be- tween the French government and state workers unresolved. The agreement followed a clash between picketers. includ- ing some women. and riot po- lice at the coalfields of Lorraine in eastern France in Which sev- eral striking miners suffered minor head injuries. The clash brought an immedi— ate accusation from the Lor- raine strike committee that the government ministers on de- mands made by leaders of rail and electricity workers—both of whom are threatening renewed strikes to back demands for substantial wage increases. The rail workers are threat-i iening to throw France into ‘a new day of transportation chaos—the fourth this month— Wednesday and electricity workers have announced plans for an “active week" starting Peyrefitte’s back-to-work ap- peal outlined a government wage offer to the coal miners made Monday and denied union statements that an eight-per- cent raise would be dragged out over two years. He said the government offer, which he described as “more amount to eight per cent by Oct. 1 with an increase to 12.5 per cent by April 1 next year. The government ministerial meetingbrought no new offers from the management side and left the issue squarely in the hands of the miners. MUCH IS TIMBER Romania ranks ninth In Eu- rope ln forest area with about 25.5 per cent of the country un- der trees. government was attempting to provoke the miners in an at- tempt to place them in an un- favorable public light.
