Move Comes as Protest Against
French Occupation of the
Ruhr Territory

Essen.-More than 10000 miners in
the Ruhr coal fields, in addition to
thousands of Germ2n railway work
ers, quit work in protest against
French occupation. Although the Ger
man workers adopted a policy OF
passive resistance" in open defiance
of French orders to continue at work.
there had been no disorders up to the
present
The French attempted to placate
the population by relaxing military
control.
German officials declared: Our
defense is functioning."
In some quarters the calmness was
viewed as the quiet before the
storm"
Taking passive resistance" as
their slogan, the miners went to the
collieries, but refused to work. In
stead, they stood around the buildings
holding indignation meetings.
labor leader made the following
statement to the correspondent:
The miners want to get the French
into the mines in an effort to force
them to work. They figure they
would have the French at a disad-
vantage and could clean them up with
picks and rocks. The miners say
Let them come. They cannot take
bayonets into the mines. They can
not shoot, because a single shot would
cause an explosion All the men
have is their fists, but they figure
that our German fists are just as good
as French fists any day"
