"Red Cross. Of Industry
Supplies Emergency Work.
erS to Fill Jobs Men Leave.

| STUTTGART. October 2S.-German
industrial leaders believe they have
found an effective weapon for fighting
general strikes in the Technische
Nothilfe, known in Germany and Den
mark as the Red Cross of Industry.
AS evidence they point to the fact
that the organization crushed a gen
eral strike in the state of Wuerttem-
! berg in five days, when that state
! was menaced with complete paralysis
| of all industrial activity
; The Technische Nothilfe was organ
| lied at Stuttgart about year ago
and is operating under the direction
/ of the minister of the interior In
normal times only a skeleton ofhce is
maintained. which occupies itself with
F., Wuerttemberg is divided into 100 sub
| districts. each of which has leader
! whose duty is to prepare list OF
volunteers able in emergency to OPP
| crate all the essential industries OF
| the community. The head offices in
| the city are furnished with a complete
| list of such volunteers. The active
| technical emergency managers OF es-
sential industries usually are named
as chiefs for those industries and
Among the volunteers listed are uni
versity students, engineers. professors
| in the Polytechnic Institute and un-
skilled workmen from every class of
society.
The central organization makes pro-
vision for bedding. foodstuffs and
! army kitchens for the volunteers, who
; camp by their jobs.
Each volunteer is informed in ad-
vance where to report, and upon the
notification of strike proceeds to
that post where the Technische No
thilfe has delivered supplies consd-
cred sufficient for the duration of the
strike. 1t is claimed that in very
short time the central Office thus can
furnish an operating force for each
industry.
The general strike here was called
as a protest against the 10 per cent
tax on workmen's wages. 1t was ar
ranged by the communists, but ad-
hered to by the majority socialists
the more conservative labor elements
and trade unions. Distribution of
food ceased and gas, electric and
water service was abandoned. The
community was confronted with pos
sible chaos, when the Technische No
thilfe stepped in, assumed control and
manned every essential post vacated
by the strikers. including the highly
technical positions.
In less than five days the strikers
began to return to work and as each
one took his place. member of the
Technische Nothilfe quit unostenta-
tiously and in less than a week the
strikers were again at their posts.
