COMMUNISTS RESUME RIOTS

DUSSELDORt, Aug. l6.-The
new French order in force today
closing all transportation to the
population excepting over the
French controlled railway lines,
caused communists TO renew their
activity in an effort to exploit the
misery of the population for red
rebellion.
Communists seized the dye fac
tories at Leverkusen, chasing out
the conservative workers. Later
they were elected by police and the
factories closed.
Public reaction to the new French
pressure, responsible apparently
for the disturbances of early this
month, was one of stolid calm and
there appeared no probability that
the new measures would have the
desired effect of breaking the
spirit of resistance to the occupa-
ton.
