By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1825, DUESSELDORF, October 11.—Fren- zied competition seems to ba the order of the day among Ruhr industrialists, yleing for the honor of being first to come to terms with France and Bel- gium, and thus secure contracts for the delivery of coal and other repara- tions materials. Otto Wolff of the Phoenix Konzern, £aid to represent 10 per cent of the total metallurgical industry of the Ruby, has stolen a march on his rivals, but fears a comeback at any moment. Hugo Stinnes is close on his heels. The “goal” so to speak, is the Reich government in Berlin. ' Who i3 going to pay Otto Wolt and the other industrialists for coal dcliveries? Certainly not France and | Belgium, nor the reparations com- | mission, says Berlin. Yet the Reich statesmen are not so sure of that oint. It is difficult to sec how the tresemann government can indemni- fy anybody for anything in the pree- ent state of German finances. If Berlin_does not pay, thero are ap- parently but two alternatives, name- 1y, that the Ruhr industrialists them- gelves pay, which is extremely un- likely, or that the Franco-Belgian industrialists como to the rescue by advancing capital on account, on the rospect of obtaining are in W estphalian {ndustr: Latter More Prebable. This latter alternative is the more probable, accordfig to British ob- servers at Cologne. It ie only a mat- ter of time, they claim, until §5 per cant of the choloe stock of the Ruhr industrjes will fall into Franco-Bel- gian hands, with the elimination of Great Britain from the metallurgical trade of Europe as a consequence Nearly half the enormous produc- tive machinery hére now is at work again, the writer is informed. This is true especlally in respect to min- ing. feverish attompts belng made to get out enough coal to avold a fuel famine this winter. In regard to manufacturing, twenty large firms besides the Phoenix concern are sald to have applied to their interallied committee for permission to resume work with the understanding that they are to pay coal taxes and ex- port license duties to the allles and not to Berlin. Disturbances Cemtinue. Desplte the resumption, of. work, however, disturbances of all sorts continue to stare the Ruhr in the face. 'Economically, the questions of currency, wages and reparations are bound to give trouble. Politically, there, are the problems of separatist dlssension between the Industrialists and Berlin. - Soctally, there is the ma! ter of the eight-hour day, which alone ix expected to cauwe endless bicker- ing.
