Are Received by Hinden-
burg and LudendOrff At
Army Headquarters
SUBMIT COMPLAINTS
OF GERMAN WORKERS
Persistent Reports That
Output of Munitions Is
Showing Decrease
CBy Associated Press.l

Copenhagen. Oct. 4. - Leaders Of
various groups of German labor were
received at main army headquarters
this week not for the purpose of
congratulating Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg on his birthday, as first
was intimated, but in an effort to
have German workmen speed up the
production of munitions.
The leaders submitted to General
Won Ludendorff, the chief quarter
master general, complaints Of the
laboring classes. These dealt parti-
cularly with the operation OF the
compulsory labor service law. A
lengthy conference was devoted to
discussing the possible Improvement
of the conditions of labor and the
maintenance of the output of muni-
tions, which General Won Ludendorff
declared was the cardinal duty Of
the hour.
Recently private but trustworthy
reports have been received by The
Associated Press that the German
authorities were experiencing diff
Guilty in preventing a falling off in
the production of munitions owing
to the lowering Of the working
capacity of the individual, underfed
workmen and the scarcity OF certain
raw materials, notably the more rare
metals used in the manufacture of
high grade steels. There have been
persistent reports that nickel was
embarrassingly short in Germany. 1t
is doubtful also If Germany will be
able to keep pace with further in
creases in Anglo American produc-
tion, il, indeed, it is even now hold
ing it's own. a...
Reliable reports from so widely
separated sectors of the western
front as Flanders and the ArgCnne
say that fthe German artillery lnas
strict orders to spare ammunition in
every way possible.
Amsterdam, Oct. 4. - Fears that
Germany might possibly be unable
to continue fighting owing to the
lack Of raw materials have been
answered by Major General Schuech,
the new minister of munitions, who,
according to a dispatch from Berlin,
says:
Regarding the supply of raw ma
terials, particularly those required for
the manufacture of guns and muni-
tions, we are not dependent solely
on the stock on hand, which, how
ever, would be insufficient. We have
to produce them and this production
is proceeding satisfactorily"
General Schuech admitted that
production was interrupted temper
arily last year because of transport
difficulties. Although these seem to
have been overcome, the minister of
munitions expects a probable recur-
renee the coming winter.
