'REICHSTAC TO
BE- FACED WITH
MANY PROBLEMS
German Labor Troubles
to Be of First ImpOr-
lance Before Assembly.
BY ERIC KEIsER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Oct. l8.-With labor
unrest sweeping Germany, the
Reichstag will open today after a
four months recess faced with ser
ious domestic problems.
With the strike of 10000 hard
coal miners in Central Germany vir-
tually 100 per cent effective and a
walkout ordered for 10000 textile
workers ON October %, there is
scant possibility of any information
al discussion during the session.
Added to the labor problem is
controversy over the. proposed edu-
cational reform bill.
Certain alarmists have predicted
the Reichstag would be dissolved
should the bill be defeated. Purpose
of the bill is to provide indirectly
for the teaching of religion in
schools. With the powerful Catho-
lie party determined to pass the bill
and other parties equally determin-
ed to defeat it, deadlock is fore
cast.
While the strike has not affected
German industry as vet, fears are
expressed that it may spread to 9th
er mining regions, thus halting
power plants and paralyzing manu-
featuring.
Officials of the strikers held pet
tv no1itical differences between the
ministries of labor and economies
were responsible for the failure of
arbitration. which resulted in Mon
DAVIS walkout Of the coal miners.
Democratic and socialist members
of the Reichstag maintained the
situation was so serious that thev
would make the strike the princi
nal topic for debate during the ses
sion.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 18.-A pro-
sale oil tanker, such as rescued Ruth
Elder at sea, may have nosed its
way into the world of adventure by
saving from execution General Ar
nulfo Gomez, chief surviving revo-
lutionary leader.
General Alvarez, chief of staff Of
President Gales, advanced the sug-
gestion in a press conference that
Gomez today might be safe aboard
little coastal tanker making his
way to the West Indies or the Unit
ed States and safety. Three federal
columns, Alvarez said, had pursued
Gomez for nine days without find
ing trace of him.
All they had to offer was the
news that at last report Gomez was
making for the Huastusco district,
still in the Vera Cruz mountains but
only 80 miles from the town of Vera
Cruz and the chance of escape by
