RUHR WORKERS MEET
CLIMAX IN RUHR REGION is
DRAWING NEAR AS LA
BOXERS QUIT

Essen.-The miners and factory
workers in various parts of the Ruhr
held meetings to determine what ac-
ton should be taken in view of the
latest moves of the forces of Il
ton to break the passive resistance
of the Germans by the taking over of
the railroad stations of Dortmund.
Bochum, Herne, Gelsenkirchen and
other industrial towns. The French
now control absolutely all the rail
road lines leading iuto and through
the Ruhr by which up to last Satur-
day the Germans had been bringing
in food supplies from u%noccupied Ger
many.
These food shipments to the Ruhr
had been from five hundred to six
hundred carloads daily. When the re-
naming lines were taken over the
German railroad men quit work as a
part of their passive resistance pro-
gram. Owing to the seizure of the
lines, according to the French author
tiles, the Germans now will have to
come to terms with the French to al
low the necessary food supplies to
reach the Inhabitants of the Ruhr.
The Germans contend that much
fresh milk and other perishable foods
and necessities have been held up at
Dortmund because of the occupation
by the French treeps.. The French
assert that the fault lies with the Ger
mans themselves, declaring hat the
Germans have the privilege of trans
porting food to Bochum and other
points if they are willing to cooperate
with the French.
The Germans claim French guards
have refused the Germans permission
to enter Dortmund station and take
charge of fresh milk destined to hospi-
tails and the children. The French de
ny this, saying that the railroad men
all quit work when the troops ar
rived and that they have not tried to
come back TO work since.
AT the meetings of the Ruhr workers
plans were discussed 20 overcome the
difficulty created by the food shortage.
The workers claim prices already have
begun to soar.
