The finance and national economy ministries pressed for higher pay as nearly 30,000 other workers, mainly civil servants, walked out. Government departments fear integrated shifts could halt 100,000 workers and all state activity. Hope rests on Schuman to broker with anti communist workers' federation to end the strike.
