ESSEN Germany. May 7.-German coal miners in the Ruhr region have made up their minds to continue at work under French occupation, pro- vided:
 First, wages are not cut;
 Second, unions are not interfered with;
 Third, enough coal is allowed Ruhr plants:
 Fourth, miners are not drafted to work:
 Fifth, work day hours are not in creased.
 Regardless of the steps the French take to collect separations. the Ger man miners must work or go hungry The cost of living has been so high that they have been unable to fill the union treasury to finance them during a strike.
 At important meetings of labor leaders, held within the past few days. it was decided that the miners should stay op the job and await de- veiopments.
 The busiest man in the Ruhr terri tory has been Otto Hue. the head of the coal miners. He was sum- moned to Berlin to advise-on the situ- ation, and rushed from the German capital to Holland and England
 where miners have been on strike l for several weeks l French threats to seize the Ruhr 1 territory transformed the buoyant optimism of German manufacturers
 and mine owners into deepest de- pression.
 However, in the face of the repara tions controversy, business has pro- | gressed and there is little evidence l of unemployment in Essen and other | cities in the district. The enormous Krupp plant here | has turned to making peace products and at present is employing more l than 45,0O0 men. | A Krupp director told Swiss husi- ness friend of mine that the Krupp | concern had landed half a contract l for 100000 tons of steel rails which ' Russia had let in the Ruhr valley ! Also this krupp official said the 1 works had received large orders i from South America and he was con | fident that within five years Ger
 many would completely recapture this market from South America His main worry was that the | French might take so much coal ouf | of the Ruhr district that the fac | tories could not be fueied. Throughout all the cities in the dis ] trict manufacturers have made rapid | progress despite communistic out. | breaks.

 WASHINGTON, May 7--Announce- ment of President Harding's decision to have American representatives on the supreme council the conference of ambassadors and the separations commission was followed today by in- timations from house Republican leaders that action on the Knox peace resolution might be deferred until the large economic and other problems are settled.
