Communists' Efforts
To Tie Up Finland
With Strike Fails
By the Associated Press
HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. 22.—
The Communist strike Offensive
against the Finnish government
lost momentum again today as
workers apparently remained deaf
to Red pleas for furtner walkouts.
Although the Traftsport Workers
Union called a strike for this
morning, traffic was normal on
Helsinki’s streets.
The Communist timetable had
called for more than 100,000 of
Finland’s 300,000 unionized work
ers to be on strike today in what
the government charged was an
attempt to prepare for a Com
munist coup.
The government Las not yet
been able to compile an official
report on the number vho actually
have left work, but employer esti
mates gave the total at 27,000.
Wood workers also scheduled a
walkout for today but the effec
tiveness of that strike was not
known immediately.
The strike threat generally ap
peared to have been overcome by
the combined firm efforts of the
Social Democratic (Socialist)
government and Premier Karl A.
Fagerholm and the Loyal Central
Trade Union Federation.
Strikers in many industries were
reported streaming back to work.
These included bakers, brewery |
workers, dock workers, lumbermen j
and log floaters.
The waning strike movement
drew strong comment from Fin
land’s Communist press.
The official Red party organ,
Tykansan Sanomat, yesterday
charged police action against the
strikers was aimed at preparing
for war against the Soviet Union.
This followed earlier Communist
charges that the government was
violating the pace treaty with
Russia.
The government officially de
nied, meanwhile, reports of a I
hunger strike by a former Com
munist police officer arrested at
Kemi, scene of a clash between
troops and striking lumbermen
last Thursday.
Communist newspapers insisted,
however, that the former officer
was on a hunger strike. They also
reported a 52-year-old woman had
died as a result of the fighting.
The government announced that
24 persons had been detained by
Kemi police investigating respon
sibility for the riot.

It's a Wonderful Car - a Wonderful Buy!
• * J
Not a day goes by without somebody telling us they hav^
heard so much about Pontiac they just had to come in aijd
“see for themselves.
*
It’s interesting, too, that people find so many different things
to talk about in the new Pontiac.
Naturally, a great many people—probably most of them—
talk first about Pontiac’s outstanding beauty. They could
hardly help noticing it!
A great many others say they have heard reports of Pontiac’s
performance, its alertness in traffic, its smooth luxurious ride
and the wonderful convenience of GM Hydra-Matic Drive.*
* »
Still others tell us what they have heard about Pontiac’*
economy. And well they might, for this is a truly economical
car. To begin with, Pontiac is sensibly priced, just above the
very lowest. It is, in fact, the lowest-priced straight eight in
America! And, like all Pontiacs, this new one is so thoroughly
dependable that it will give years of pleasure and superb
performance with only the minimum of routine servicing.

come in soon and see for yourself?
