GERMAN STRIKES
DISRUPT B0URSE
All Industries Drop on
Berlin Market

BERLIN. Oct. 3.-Complete un-
certainty in German industries, due
to the tying-up of the North Sea
shipyards by the strike, the Silesian
coal miners strike, and the ap-
preaching strike of $4,000 textile
workers, prevailed as the Berlin
stock market opened this morning.
The course of the day saw a drop
in quotations, in many cases as
much as 6 or points in textiles.
The Berlin stock market can be
taken as a very certain indication
of the far-reaching effects of the
strikes and threatened strikes in al
most all the key industries. The
market was jumpy the whole day,
very little trading going on, and
whatever did take place was at a
loss. A complete strike in textiles,
steel and coal would completely
wreck German industry, economic
observers declare.
The quotations in textiles bear

SEIZE CHILDREN
IN FALL river
Show Up Batty's Lies
in New Bedford

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. 8.
Reports from Fall River today
state that police are making house
to house searches and are threat
ening workers that their children
will be sent to reform schools if
they do not leave the workers chill
dren's organizat tions. Arrests of
several children are reported to
have been made.
The mill owners are backing this
terrorism in their effort to break
the power of the National Textile
Workers Union.
Batty Given the Lie.
Statements spread by the Batty
group that members of the unions
affiliated to the New Bedford Tex
tile Council are declaring that the
recent vote on the five per cent
wage cut was unfair and are de-
manding new poll, were given the
lie this morning when only the usual
small handful of scabs entered the
mills.
Batty, however, has not relin-
quished his efforts to obtain another
ballot in which he hopes to be able
to oblige the mill bosses by sum-
marily ending the strike.
