Beary, Jan. i0.—Tho prediction made in these dispatches yesterday that the resumption of work in three largest coal pits at Gelzen kirchen was the beginning of the end of the | coal miners’ strike is borne out by the situa- tion in the mining districts today. In the Saar district, where the strike was the most widespread, and where many acts of law- | lessness have been committed, the etrikers are weakening, aud many of them are anxions to retar: tk. The prospect of the strikers aily becomes more hopeless, t the efforts to have a ge ated throughout western hont result. Tu Westphalia, where the Saar miners ex- pected to find much moral support, only a few | hundred men have quit work. One result of the strike and the general agitation in favor of its extension is that the directors of the state | mines in Westphalin have decided to dismiss 000 of the employes. ‘This will cause much nffering, but the directors claim that it is the | c rene if the minesare at all. Men from other districts will take places of the dismissed A BREAK IN THE RANKS. Shortly after the regular hour for going to work (o jay # break occurred in the ranks of the strikers in the Saar dieirict and in less than an hour the rush of men to secure re-employment | was immense, It was known by the strikers that many of them would not be taken back, but they did notknow whofthe men tobe dropped would be. Consequently the eagerness dis- played to return tothe work ther bad aban- doned was remarkable. Of all the strikers in the district 11,170 were ved and at once went to work. Three thousand of the men were not allowed to go back to the pits, the reason that the slackness of trade did not war their re-employment. => FRANCE OnJE To Present to Great Britain Reasons for Non-Intervention in Moroceo.
