FUTURE APPEARS
BAD FOR GERMAN
POTASH INDUSTRY
Oh The Associated Press

Berlin, Feb. S.--The Kackgerschail
Kali Potash corporation, in it's annual
report declares that the future out
look of the German potash industry is
anything but encouraging. Seventeen
mines which were important because
of the high grade quality Of the yield
are now in the hands Of. the enemy
while new mines have been uncover
ed in Spain. r., +
Internal conditions ere also FAR
from satisfactory. the reports says,
the introduction of the eight hour day
and increased wages having consld-
erably heightened the cost OF pro-
duction notwithstanding the fact
that wages have gone up, the work
ingmen are unresponsive and their
capacity shows falling off of one
third. AS a result of these disinte-
grating factors, the report states that
there will be a general decline in the
total output of the German mines and
consequent inability to supply for
eoign markets when shipping oppor-
tunities are again available.
