ESSEN. May 81 Common sense
and innate respect for law have won
the battle between the miners and
mine owners in the Ruhr, after four
weeks of enforced idleness on the
part of the former and a loss of over
200, 600, 900 gold marks on the part of
the latter.
The result has been nil. so far as
the contending parties were con-
cerned, but the reparations account,
which was being tackled seriously
by the German government, may be
found to have suffered a setback.
Exactly a month and two days ago,
the miners voted in favor of turning
down new arbitration proposals made
by the government. But then Berlih
issued a ukase making the proposals
binding for both parties" or, in other
words. making them law The miners
finally took into consideration the
dire consequences Of continued
strike, which would almost certainly
result in starvation riots ana per-
haps clashes with troops OF occu-
patton.
Common Sense FreSnhs.
Common sense prevailed and mum :
ber of miners variously estimated at
from 10000 to 100000 returned to
work Friday morning. To their sur
prise they found the entrance gates
locked. The mine owners have an
nounced, however, that they Will open
up all mines on Monday, with the ex-
ception of those which suffered too
seriously during the period of idle
ness.
The new agreement. which gives
the miners a per cent increase in
pay, but not the one-hour reduction
in working hours that they demand
ed, Holds good until September 80.
Those favoring the Dawes report
hone that a good deal will have been
done toward carrying out its provl-
sions before the Ruhr workmen have
occasion to raise new demands-'pro-
will adopt the Dawes plan," these
people add.
