Dortmund - Five persons were
killed. Including one woman and one
child, and from sixty TO eighty persons
were wounded in conflicts between
suIk.ng workmen and the police, ac-
cording to the casualty lists issued by
both the workers and the police.
The DOrtmund police and citizenry
have formed a self-protection force
against the riotous elements. THIS
force is being armed with clubs as
firearms are forbidden by the French.
The German police say the strikers
are organized into units, each of 800
men and are well supplied with auto
matte pistols.
Many thousands of strikers attended
mass meetings in Dortmund, Bochum
and other towns in the mining district
and passed resolutions to use every ef-
fort to extend the strike throughout
the Ruhr and the Rhineland. II Is es-
timated that 6O.OOO men have quit
work in the Dortmund district.
Most of these are coal miners who
went on strike. but they have been

Speakers mt the meeting here said
the men were on n hunger strike.
They cited prices to show that the cost
of living had doubled in the last I'VE

German officials describe the strik-
ers as communists, but the leaders
say the workers include men of all
