Premier Leon Blum unveiled a ten point program to a strike paralysed France aimed at pacifying more than a million workers. The plan includes amnesty for political prisoners, a 40 hour work week, collective bargaining, pay value reform, nationalized arms manufacture, agricultural control, and changes to the Bank of France, with wage restorations for veterans and government staff. The strikes, led by syndicates, halted iron, steel, auto, chemical, and canning sectors while Paris faced department store closures and a gasless day.
