WORKERS OF RUHR
DEMAND GERMANY
MAKE PEACE MOVE
Sent Cuno Gov
eminent by Workers in Oc-
cupied territory Inme-
date Terms Sought
BY GEORGE WHITE

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, April 9.-Thousands of
unorganized workers in the Ruhr
region, including miners and railroad
employees, have sent an ultimatum
to the government demanding that
negotiations be started at once with
France to settle the Ruhr difficulty
regardless of government orders.
Apparently the government is in
a serious dilemma. If it denies the
workers demand they will go
over to the French, if it yields to
them the passive resistance policy
will fail and the Cuno cabinet will
have to resign.
In their message to Chancellor
Cuno the unorganized miners and
railroad men say in part:
1.-TWO years ago the French oc-
cupied Dusseldorf and adjacent
territory. At that time much excite
ment prevailed and the government
made all sorts of promises which it
never kept.
Months later these promises were
forgotten and the German people,
including the inhabitants of the occu-
pied area had become so much used
to the French that they no longer
complained. We in the Ruhr district
will get along with the French too,
by and by. We are tired of the pres.
ent situation which is bound to lead
us into a cul-de-sac.
eve want the German government
to explain it's intentions and end the
present deadlock"
1t is reported in Berlin govern
ment will propose a compromise.
GERMANS DESTROY
RUHR CANAL LOCKS
ESSEN, April 9.-By.. the Asso-
ciated Press).-The explosion of
time-bomb destroyed the lock of the
Dortmund- Ems canal near Herne
early today.
The canal was blocked, seriously
interfering with the complicated in.
land waterway traffic in the Ruhr.
This is the most serious case Of
sabotage yet reported on the ,Ruhr
waterways. The lock that was de-
stroyed is near the junction of the
Dortmund-Ems canal with the main
canal that runs down to the Rhine
at Duisburg and Ruhrort, where the
largest inland port in the world is
located.
The intention of sthe dynamiters
was not only to block the canal, but
to drain the water from the main
Rhine-Herne canal, which is the
main waterway artery of the Ruhr.
The French say this main canal
has not been interfered with as the
locks on both sides Of the one which
was dynamited were closed immedi-
ately after the explosion to prevent
the draining of the main canal.
The Dortmund Ems canal, itself an
important waterway, is blocked by
the destruction Of the lock. Guards
have been placed at all functions,
and locks as a measure for proven
ton of further damage.
