Ruhr Resistance LessenIno

Berlin.-Slnce the government FORM
ally announced Its inability further to
finance the passive resistance In the
Ruhr and Rhineland there has been n
marked cooling Of the ardor Of the re-
sisters, and one of the immediate ef-
fects of the withdrawal of official
credits to the IndustrIalists. employers
and labor organizations Is reflected In
the growing inclination by many work
ers to return to their former posts.
The altered mental attitude appar-
ent In the occupied areas is not as
cribed to waverlng patriotism but is
explained OF the ground of widespread
conviction that the social chaos which
followed In the wake of the passive
campaign nov has reached proportions
which are making life unbearable.

M~ohtana's manganese, like ita cop
per and wheat. is of so superior q
quality that Its grade makes produc-
ton possible In the face OF an adverse
market, according to data assembled
by the state department OF agriculture
and Industry. Manganese from the
Philiipsburg district for the manufac-
ture of dry-eell batteries commonly
sells for two or three times the opep
market price.
Deposits of manganese ore are
found In eight distinct districts in
Montana, Philipsburg being the most
productive district not only In Mon
tana but In the United States. Large
bodies of rhodochrosite at Butte are
the source Of valuable quantities OF
manganese. During 1917 and 1918
Montana produced approximately two
thirds of the total amount of this met
al that was produced in the United
Estates.
1t Is estimated that $4,000 to $4,000
tons are used annually In the manufac-
ture of dry-ceIl batteries, but the
greatest market yet is for steel max
