expressed in government circles that
unless communists succeed in tleing
up Mid-Germany' industrial areas
in a general strike the government
will be able TO cope with rioting
prevailing in Eisleben, Mansfels,
Hettstedt and Leuna.
Inc local communists organiza-
tions thus far have not been given
open support by national commun-
lists leaders who are away from Ber-
lin or are in seclusion.
The majority and independent So
cialists and independent labor unions
continue their vigorous condemna-
tions of the present revolts, warning
organized labor against giving the
communists moral and physical sup
port. The gas and waterworks in
Halle are tied up, although the other
municipal plants voted against strik-
ing.
The communists are making ef-
forts to shut down the Goethen pow
er plant near Bitterfeld, which sup
plies large section of Berlin with
current. Technical auxiliary troops
are in readiness to keep public util-
tiles in operation should employees
walk out.

EISLEBEN, Germany, March Is.
Street fighting as a result of COM
munist outbreaks during the past
forty-eight hours in important cop
per mining towns of Saxony, was
continuing tonight with hand to hand
combats at the railroad station and
in the streets in the central section.
The rattle of machine gun fire,
the crash of hand grenade explo-
sions and the popping of rifles has
been going on steadily for the last
three hours. Two thousand police
were holding the east half of the
town while $500 workmen were in
All the workers are armed and well
disciplined.
The railroad station changed
hands twice in the twenty minutes
preceding the filing of this dispatch.
Bodies of dead and severely wound
ed were still lying in the streets
where they fell twenty hours ago.
The less severely wounded were
crowded in sheltered doorways with
bullets raising puffs of dust about
them.
The extent of casualties on either
side is not definitely known but at
least twenty were killed and fifty
wounded.
Railroad and telephone commune
cation has been cut and no motor
lists have been found daring enough
TO drive into the city. The CORES

The telegraph office was found to
be neld by police who consented to
transmit this report. The sending
of the message proceeded while the
machine guns raked the streets and
people were huddled in their dark.
ened homes, peaking through the
blinds.
The workmen were holding the
municipal lighting plant.
All the roads leading into the
town are under fire. Fighting ap-
peared to be growing in intensity
and it seems probable further wire
with the outside
world would have to. be from Halle,
eighteen miles distant.
