Ohio GERMAN INDUSTRY FEARS COAL STRIKE Semi-Paralysis Expected If Rubr Walkout Takes Place. By the Associated Press. ESSEN, Germany, July 10.—German industry is viewing with consider- able anxiety the likelihood of early semi-paralysis through a strike of coal miners in the Ruhr region, which 18 provided for In a proclamation is- sued by the miners’ union expressing impatience with the delay in the new | ‘wage negotiations. Hope regarding the workers’ final decision rests in .the aistrict convention to be held next Friday. Failing an outcome enabling the miners to continue their opera- tions, there is a possibility of eleventh-hour intervention by the government through the appointment of a new arbitration board. This is regarded as a last resort. The strike, if called, will affect all mine workers except miners of the Christian and Polish miners’ unions, which have specified their intention of not participating. Iron ore and lignite workers already have decided to join the strike unless a blanket wage scale is fixed immediately The matter of overtime is also involved. the miners feeling it means abrogat- -ing the seven-hour day. But it is. reported they are ready to come to an agreement on the overtime ques- tion If the general wage demands are satisfled. The importance of the Ruhr pro- duction is indicated by the fact that the twenty-four hours’ cessation of work as part of the demonstration against the Rathenau assassination lessened the output by about 380,000 tons, at an_estimated value of ap- proximately 500,000,000 marks. Count- ing other losses, the total cost for the twenty-four hours’ suspension is cstimated at at least 1,000,000,000 marks. ! - j ———— Mrs. Mary C.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—Real estate has been more affected by the seasonal dullness in this section than commeroial ‘lines. In merchandising, conditions are unusually good, despite the raflroad strike and vacational slackness. The demand for homes and apartments of moderate price in San Francisco is far from satisfied and building activity has received no apparent check. Comparatively little buflding is_being done for renting purposes except in apartment houses. Money s abundant. The strike, of ice handlers is having much more effect in this section than the walkout of railroad shopmen. The ice strike threatened to halt fruit shipments running as high as $250,000 & day and hundreds of cars of fruit were sent out for a time without ics.
