GERMAN MINES
 HALT SHUT DOWN

Essen, Germany. (UP)--Two:. thirda of the miners in tho smnll nnt hracita works of Caroline, be. longing to the United Electric Works of Westphalia. have volun- tecred to work three shifts per month without pay. ID oraer 'o prevent c threatened shutdown. :.
 Tho mon already had taken q 20 per cent wage cut, but when U became apparent that tho Clroline could not pay It's own way. even with thlB help, and shut down pc. came imminent. they made U counter proposal to tho owhess that the mine be kept partially open, oven at the further expense of the workers. The three rec shifts mean C further reduction or approximately fs per cent ID WageB. Three hundred nnd thrity. one miners volunteered to thus contribute.
 On tho first working day of the arrangement. about goo workers appeared, some being sick ana un' able to report. The remalnfng ones third, which did not join the agree. ment, picket9d the volunteers, put there were only c few clashes.
 Balancing tho f2 per cent wage loss, tho Caroline management has done away with iay.offs under tho volunteer system. Tho averago lay. off in the fluhr district during February was as shifts, and slight- iy higher in March, so that tho Caroline volunteers are still better off by two shifts work per month than their average fellow worker in the district. tn addition. com- pany stores and supply depots have ngroed to give the volunteers prico reductions on many goods. in order Co compensate partially for tho TO. ductlon in their wages.
