GERMAN MINERS BACKING WORKERS Favor Certain Demands for Improvements in Work
 ing Conditions
By Associated Press


 Essen, Saturday, April 5.1-The reyo- lutionary miners of central Germany and Silesia have declared In favor of the Ruhr workers, who have made certain demands for improvements in their condition. In case these demands are not granted by Wednesday,, the Ruhr miners have voted to cease the so-called emergency work, with the re- suit that the mines will likely be flooded with water, after the pumps have stopped.
 The mirers' conference has ex- pressed contempt for those who recently joined the government troops in response to the appeals of Herr Noske. the minister of ddfence, and declares that they shall nev er be given work in the future, but shall be avoided like a pest"
 With such methods, the communist and spartacan miners of the Ruhr dis trict are attempting desperately to eX- tend the general strike which osten- sibly began days ago. It is claimed by the spartacans that a total of 45, GOO miners, from 215 mines are or strike and that the workers in thirty five additional mines will soon be out.
 The revolutionists have spared no effort to intimidate every one into joining their ranks. They issued a de- cree yesterday that no organization, except the "council of nine," consist ing solely of spartacans and com munists and totally unrepresentative of the miners, as whole may speak or treat with the government It was ordered in the decree that all who feel the necessity of approaching, the "capi- taiistic government do so through the council
 Semi official strike figures in the Ruhr district set down the number on strike today as 142,000 as compared with 132.o00 yesterday. The spartacaa figures apply to the entire Rhfneland.
 Reports from Dortmund and other places say that the situation has im- proved slightly and that the miners are gradually returning to work.
