aud the government sought to bring
about compromise. The strikers were
not eager To fight Ia u finish I'm mid
winter, the extreme cold throughout
Germany having affected the strikers
spirits. Therefore the feeling has sud

to accept moral victory with some
small material gains than to persist
with the accompanying priyation. The
strike Is by no means actually settled
yet, but the mine owners and the strike
leaders are appreciahly near proyi-
slonal agreement All the liquor stores
In the strike districts are closed by
