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.
