A “OUT OF GERMAN _ METAL WORKERS \Severing, “Socialist,” Capitulates to Employers | |Weorkers Are Enraged ‘Communists Build Left Wing Committees BERLIN, Dec. 22.—Carl Severing, the Social-democratic minister of the interior, who had been appointed as “impartial” and “competent” arbi- trator in the Ruhr metal lockout, an- nounéed a decision today which is a blatant and open capitulation to ihe metal employers. Hig decision called for a 57-hour working week and eiitremely small inereases in wages, ranging from 1 to 6 pfennings (about 1 cent) an j hour. The decision is to be effec- | tive January 1, 1929. The scale of inerease represents an even lower award to piece workers than that given by the labor court which pre- ceded the lockout, and in most cate- gories of workers grants only a 1 or 2 pfenning increase per hour. Workers Enraged. The reformist labor unions had agreed to allow the workers to re- turn to the mills while Severing’s decision was pending and they had further bound themselves to accept all the employers demands until the award was given. They had com- pleted their betrayal by agreeing to accept the decision no matter what it was. Militants Fight. The workers affected by the lock- out numbered 225,000 and now they face even worse conditions than be- fore, with the virtual collapse of the “inions and the victory of the employers in this heavy industry.
