of the employers. National bolshevism,
which unites the tendencies of the
extreme left and the tendencies of
the extreme right, has won over
certain groups of workmen hitherto
refractory to nationalism.
"On the other hand, a hunger
strike would be much more difficult
for the workmen than the employers,
because II threatens their very lives.
For the rest the Germans are hoping
France. They expect that the
economic paralysis which threatens
the Germans will quickly affect the
economic situation of the entire
world. The German government is
trying. on the one hand. to win the
worlds pity for German suffering
and the intervention of the worlds s
business men in Germany's favor.
Germany's first aim is to gain time
to allow this intervention to become
effective"
Strength Of French Position.
"The strength of the French posi-
tion may be stated thus: The re-
sistance Of the German employers
threatens to ruin the whole German
economic system which depends upon
Westphalian coal. How could Ger
many recover her lost markets
German leaders will doubtless hesi-
tate before assuming responsibility
for prolonged resistance which may
even lead 10 disorders and revolu-
tions. This would be a high price
to pay for the privilege of resisting
France. 1t is doubtful If the mass of
workers Will long continue to sup
port the employers. The fierce re-
preston of the Ruhr uprising two
years ago left deep scars and the
German workmen, and employers
have been oftener at odds than at
one. Moreover the occupation. au-
thorities have many ways of acting
upon the masses who will perhaps
be more docile after removal of their
national leaders, namely. the pay
ment of their salaries, the furnish
ing of food and the payment of un-
employment doles. These measures
can be used skillfully by the French
engineers, who in the Saar and
Rhineland have acquired a thorough
acquaintance with the mentality of
German labor
Finally the workmen cannot go
long unemployed or they will starye.
There remains the difficulty of re-
placing the German technical corps in

and mines. This difficulty is not in
surmountable. The French govern

SHORTAGE IN MARKS
PROBLEM TO FRENCH
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ESSEN, January 19.-The shortage
of paper marks is a matter of great
concern to the French. Although it is
announced that the economic mission
has enough of this currency on hand
to meet the payroll of all the Ruhr
industries on Saturday, it seems GER
tain that by next week the $4,000
workmen will have to be paid in some
other currency.
Their weekly wages now amount to
Is, 400, 100000 paper marks, and the
French experts figure that in another
week there will not be enough marks
to go around, inaSmuch as Berlin is
cutting off the supply.
The cost of living has increased
greatly since the occupation and larg-
er supplies of the paper currency are
therefore necessary. The value Of the
mark is about one-fifth less than a
week ago. and during the past few
days it has dropped like d meteor.
THE fall of the mark will be stop
ped only by the rock bottom found by
the Austrian crown and the Russian
ruble," a banker told the correspond
ent as he handed him a little more
that a million marks in exchange for
fifty American dollars. However, we
should worry" he added contemptu-
ously. The last three words admira-
bly, sum up the sentiment of the en-
tire German population in the occu-
pied regions. for they do not appear

FRENCH DEPUTIES
BATTLE ON FLOOR
Black Eyes and Swollen Lips
Aftermath of Fisticuffs Over
Vote on Communist.

PARIS, January 19.-Blackened eyes
and swollen lips were in evidence in
the chamber of deputies as reminders
or last nights stormy session, when
the chamber, after one of the liveliest
scenes in it's history, voted to sus-
pend the parliamentary immunity of
Marcel Cachin, the communist MEM
Der.
The trouble started when a special
commission that had investigated
Cachin's alleged activities in the
Ruhr recommended suspension of his
immunity so that he might be prose-
cuted. This brought a quick response
from the radicals and there was such
lively croSS-f1re among the members
that the vice president was obliged
TO halt the session temporarily. When
the chamber was again called to or
der the confusion increased and the
communist members started in body
for the chair.
Prince Joachim Murat, who recently
won the plaudits of his fellow depu-
ties of the right in fistic encounter
with NJ. Evrard, the radical, hastened
to lead his faction to the defense Of
the chairman, and then the fists be-
gan to fly.
Order was not restored until a corps
of ushers had parted the combatants.
The deputies then passed the motion
to suspend Cachins immunity.
a commission of the chamber which
Investigated charges that Cachin re-
Gently had been engaged in COM
munistic activities in the Ruhr recon-
mended that the deputy's immunity
be lifted, so as to permit of his prose-
cution by the government on a charge
of conspiracy against the security of
the state in connection with plans to
call a general strike in the Ruhr and
in French cities in protest against
Frances seizure of the Ruhr.

PARIS, January 19.-It is reported
that the German government has
threatened the Ruhr coal owners with
Imprisonment and confiscation of their
property If they obey French orders,
while on the other hand it has prom
ised to reimburse the owners for
losses if they continue to resist, and
to pay the miners unemployment doles
If they undertake a protest strike
An eminent French technician,
whose name cannot be given, has
written for The Star the following
the opposing forces in the Franco
German economic war:
First consider the German position.
The French military administration
has prepared certain penalties, name
", financial and personal responsible
tty, for the German industrialists if
they continue to resist. These pen
aIties VIII be effective only IL the Ger
man mine owners seek pretext to
resist to the end and quietly allow
themselves to be imprisoned France
runs the risk of turning them into
heroes for the German people.
Two Necessary Conditions.
1T is possible therefore that the
German industrialists have little to
fear from Imprisonment, but if their
resistance is to have chance of sue
cess two conditions must be fulfilled.
First, the industrlalfsts must resign
themselves to money losses. Pro-
longed industrial stagnation, disorder
and foreign Intervention may well
seem redoubtable to the Germans. 1t
is not only the Ruhr factories that
will suffer. but all industry in Ger
many. Are the German employers
ready to place their patriotism above
personal interests? The answer to
this question is still doubtful.
I'm the second place, If the in
dustrialists are to succeed they must
have the workmen with them. If
the latter accept foreign control and
continue at work the resistance of
the employers must soon be broken.
Is there a real solidarity of German
workmen and employers? It is known
that there has been rapprochement
between the employers organizations
, and the labor unions. The Christian
unions have fallen under the influence

continues, it is believed that British
representatives in both Paris and
Berlin have been instructed to use
every possible moderating influence.
British statesmen now believe that
the French will be forced to reaIi-
cation of the fact that 10 settlement
of the Ruhr difficulties will be pos
sible except at Berlin, and they hope
to prevent France from taking steps
which might lead to the most fright
full consequences.
Premier's Policy Stands.
Premier Bonar Laws policy as laid
down at Paris still stands, but in
view of the criticisms made by Bel
gians and Italians he soon will issue
British hold to be a fair basis for a
revise the original outline in order
to meet the severest criticisms, but
that will be done only in the event
that France fails completely in tho
Ruhr and indicates desire for the
opening of reparations negotiations
on other lines.
Above everything else. British
statesmen hope to prevent France
from provoking armed resistance on
Germany'S part. Such a catastrophe
it is believed here, would mean COM
plete ruin for middle Europe and fur
ther depression in France and Great
Britain.
The liberal British newspapers con-
tinue to call upon France not to carry
coercion of Germany any further.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MAY ACT ON RUHR
Diplomats Believe Question
of Occupation Will Soon
Be Submitted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 19.-Political cir
cles both here and in Lausanne are of
the opinion that the Ruhr question
eventually will be submitted to the
league of nations for arbitration.
1t is possible that the council of the
league, which is to meet on January
70. probably in this city, will discuss
the matter, with the object of even
tually accepting the task of media
tion, on condition that both parties.
the allies and Germany, ask the
league to intervene.
Marquis Curzon, British foreign Sec
retary, left the near east conference
at Lausanne yesterday and conferred
mere with Sir Eric Drummond, secre-
tary general of the league. 1t is un-
derstood that the Ruhr occupation
was one of the subjects of their con-
verSation.
Council to Discuss Ruhr.
By the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 19.-The question
or reparationS and the occupation of
the Ruhr. it is expected in French
circles. will be brought UP at the
forthcoming meeting Of the council of
the league of nations by Hjalmar
Branting, who will sit for the first
time as the representative of Sweden.
The council, under a resolution
adopted by the last assembly, may
discuss reparations. but only in so far
as approved by the allies, and the
prospective Intervention by NJ. Brant-
ing is termed in French circles as pre-
mature at least. The French govern
ment, 1t is said, could not consent to
league consideration of the Ruhr oc-
cupation before 1t is possible to de-
termlne what the results of the occu-
patton are likely to be.
The obstructive attitude of Ger
many, it is held. makes it impossible
for France to entertain any sugges-
tton of mediation by the council of
the league or any other authority.
Germans Are Hostile.
1t is also pointed out that action
by the council would be tantamount
to action by the allies themselves.
since the allied representatives on
the council are instructed as to the
policy of their governments, and un-
der the unanimity rule. no PROPOSE
ton can be put through against the
will of any one of them.
The assent of Germany to such
mediation, which is a prerequisite in
French opinion, also is problematical,
as there has been considerable hos
tility to the league council in Berlin
since the settlement of the Upper
Silesian controversy, by which a
large section of territory was given
to Poland.
