REVOLT IN SAXONY
FEARED BY BERLIN
AS HUNGER GROWS
Stresenann Plans Stern
Measures by City Police to
End Food Rioting of Ruhr
PopuIace

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE German
federal government is preparing to
use drastic measures against Saxony
unless conditions there show an i'm
mediate improvement, it was learned
today.
The military dictator already has
been ordered to proceed with the dis
solution of the so-called ''red hun
dred companies"
1t is indicated he will use soldiers
if necessary.
Berlin officials were ordered to use
sharper measures against rioters if a
repetition of yesterdays demonstra-
tons is attempted in defiance Of the
provisions Of the limited state of
siege.
Arrests of some of the ringleaders
in yesterdays demonstrations are
proceeding, and authorities ordered
police today to arrest women and
girls if they lead the way in the
riots.
City authorities must preserve
order by force, it was directed, if
they are unable to prevent disturb
ances by providing bread.
Steps Against Defiance
"Vorwaerts," commenting on the
new directions, said that the govern
ment is sharp in dealing with Sax
ony, but pointed out that hitherto
it has taken no steps against the il
legal organizations in Bavaria or
against the general Bavarian def
ance Of the reich.
Government reports from the &C.
cupied areas indicated many places
are almost without potatoes. Such
as exist, it was reported, are pro:
hibitively priced at $40 a "sentner."
New food riots were expected in
many places, it was said today be-
cause the unemployment doles,
though recently doubled, amount to
barely two cents day.
With the average pay of fully en-
ployed workers now barely equal to
the cost of eight or ten loaVes of
black bread a week, national and
city authorities commenced to put
foodstuffs on the markets at fixed
prices under current rates.
After yesterdays food riots in the
heart Of Berlin, revealing the immi"
nent menace OF hunger TO the -coun-
try, city" officials announced the sale
Of American and Argentine frozen
meats at less than current prices.
Even with money, purchases OF
potatoes, meat, butter, lard and
eggs was made with the greatest
difficulty. ,..
Starvation Race On
The governments attempt to es-
tablish a stable currency which
would give confidence to traders in
the country as well as facilitate pur-
chase outside has become, it was
agreed today, a race against the
danger of starvation in Berlin. Re-
fusal of peasants and landowners
in many places to accept paper
marks in payment for grain added
to the desperateness of the situation.
Creation of the new currency will,
it was said, take several weeks.
Meanwhile the government had
decided, it became known today, to
commence Immediately to build up
a governmental grain reserve of
from half a million to a million and
half tons.
