POTASH CRISIS IN PRUSSIA.
overproductiOn Causes Discharge OF
Hundreds of WOrkmen and Reduce
ton of Wages to Others.

Berlin, Aug. 14.-The potash industry
is undergoing a crisis due to over
production. The Prussian treasury
mines have discharged hundreds of
workmen and have reduced the wages
of others from 10 to 80 per cent. All
private mines and factories took sim
liar steps. 1t is explained that the
industry was not affected by the de-
preston in German business until the
end of April, when all factory ware
houses were stocked to the roofs.
Much bitterness prevails among the
discharged workmen against the syn
dictate for forcing the production in
1901 far beyond the market demands,
thus rendering it impossible to keep
the workmen employed this year.

on their daily walks or drives they
are closely followed by a Quebec de-
tective, who always keeps them in
