DUBLIN, October 24—The pro- longed strike of the dockers and transport workers, which has caused 2 stagnation of trade and brought suffering to thousands of people, is coming to an end. The Cork dockers, idle for three months, agreed yesterday to resume work forthwith ‘on the terms sug- gested by the government, namely a wage reduction of one shiiling a day and the establishment of a commi sion to investigate the cost of living.

HAMBURG RIOTERS SLAIN. in Communists Fail in Battle to Take Police Statious. By the Associated Press. HAMBURG. October 24.—Several persons were killed or wounded here in outbreaks of rioting which began when communists attempted to storm all the police stations in the city. Ten of the stations were captured by the communists, who made prisoners of the occupants of them. Barricades have been erected in several streets, from behind which the communists are keeping up a well directed fire against stations still in the hands of the police, who have been reinforced and are trying to restore order. The communists captured an ar- mored car manned by security police, killing one of the crew and making prisoners of the others, The rioting last night was confined to sporadic minor outbreaks, which and _volunteer ~guards uppressed, A German cruiser and a flotilla of torpedo boat destrovers are patroll- ing the harbor, where trafiic was brought to a complete standstill dur- ing the da except for several out- going liners, which were towed down The business section of the was free from rioting, which rried on chiefly in the harbor section.

The French authorities here inter- vened between the local police and a body of armed separatists as they ap- about to come into collision i The commander of the French s told the police they must not use their arms. The com- mander of the police called attention to the fact that the manifestants also were armed. The French commander, under the authority of Paul Tirard, president of the interallied high com- | mission for the Rhineland, then re- quested both sides to surrender their arms, which they did without further controversy.

Are Virtually Recognized. The separatist leaders, while stu- diously refraining from’ intercourse with the military leaders, Gen. De- gouette and Gen. Mordacq at Wies- baders have been in constant com- munication with the interallied Rhineland commission here. The re- ply of M. Tirard, president of the Rhineland commission, to the emis- saries from Dr. Dorten and Joseph Mathes, in which he notified the sep- aratists that he would hold them re- sponsible for keeping order, is re- garded in certain quarters here as virtually amounting to recognition. Martial law has been declared at Wiesbaden, the French troops taking control as well at Bonn, at the re- quest of the burgomaster. Late yesterday afternoon conflict- ing reports were current relative to the occupation of Ehrenbreitstein fortress, across the river. This could only be occupled by the sepa- ratists with the permission of the French, as a large number of oeccu- pation troops are stationed there. REPUBLIC LOSING GROUND, was true of V The of Communists and Labor Oppose Sep- aratist Activities. By the Associated Press. PARIS, October 24.—A Rhineland republic has been proclaimed at Co- blenz and a provisional government has been appointed, but, as a satiri- cal French newspaper puts it, repub- licans seem lacking. The situation of the separatists this morning is not brilliant. They Tade mo headway yesterday; rather the reverse. They appear definitely to=have lost Aix-la-Chapelle and also their hold on other places as the loyalist police react from the first surprise of the coup and realize that the French and Belgian authorities are perfectly sincere in their neu- irality and have no Intention of in. terfering except to stop bloodshed. The separatists are actively op- posed by the communists and the la- por interests. Thus at Wiesbaden the employes of the street car and gas Works services went on strike. The police also ceased to function, oblig- Thg the French military to preserve order. Castle Is Occupied. The castle occupied by the separa- tists af Coblenz is not Ehrenbreit- Stein, “but ‘a former imperial castie now used for the prefecture offices.

French troops had been held in readiness in the preciacts § working | THE EVENING of the castle,“but their intervention Was not necessary. On the other hand, the separatists appear to be in full control at Treves, Bonn and Duisburg. The correspondent of Le Matin at Aix-la-Chapelle quoted Leo Deckers, leader of the movement that resulted in the capture of that city on Sun- day, as saying: “I believe that in eight days everything will have end- ed in our favor. The struggle is hard, i i day. We have been successful in places where we expected stubborn resistance. “Duisburg is in our hands. The Bonn citadel of Prussian militarism is also ours, Crefeld is surrounded and Cob- lenz this (yesterday) afternoon pro- | claimed the Rhenish republiec. Five Die in Mayence. A dispatch to the Havas Agency from Mayence says that five persons were killed and several wounded, all {of whom were inoffensive spectators, during another attempt to establish the Rhineland republic in Mayence. The attempt falled before the de- termined resistance of workingmen organized by the unions. The separatists attempted to rush the city hall, but were repulsed and pursued by the workmen down Schil- lerstrasse. The dispatéh adds that thvkvolice have been confined to bar- racks. SIX DIE IN AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. Loyalists Regain Town From Re- publican Insurgents. By the Associated Press, AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, October 24.— Half a dozen persons were killed and scores wounded as the loyalists re- gained possession of Aix-la-Chapelle. The movement to oust the seces- sionists from the government build- ing, which began to take form Mon- day night, had gained strength by Tuesday morning and before noon some of the separatists who had been in the structure were attacked by the crowd. Their comrades in the building came to the rescue, seized a number of motor trucks and drove through the streets, firing right and left into the throng. Belgian Troops Interveme. The situation became too much for the local police and Belgian troops arrived on the scene, clearing the streets and driving the separatists back to their last remaining strong- hold. After a semblance of order had been restored, Police Commissioner Wilhelm Buhr went to the govern- ment building, in which only forty republicans, commanded by Leo Deck- ers, were fortified, and gave the in- vaders until 3 o'clock in the after- noon to evacuate the premise: A few mijnutes later the corre- spondent of the Associated Pres: . T. Hollowell, ignorant of the ult: rgatum, knocked at the door of the fortress. Deckers answered the knock. “Come in.” he said. The corre- spondent did so and immediately the door was bolted and barricaded be- hind him. As there appeared to be no other way out, the reporter at- tempted to telephone the British consul for help, but the instrument was dead. Finally Slips Out. He then tried to induce some green- uniformed ambulance men, who were tending_three wounded separatists, to let him out. but to no avail Finally, profiting by the absence of the republicans upstairs, the corr spondent pulled away the obstruc- tions from the door and left the building. One minute later he heard the barricade replaced. Herr Buhr then reappeared and offered the besieged one more chance to surrender peacefully within fifteen minutes, promising that trucks would be furnished to take the separatists away. The commissioner said he would personally accompany them and guaranteed protection from the mob. As the fifteen minutes ticked off Herr Buhr shouted to the separatists to be reasonable and surrender, re- {peating WJs promises of safety. “Send us a truck and two Belgian {soldiers and we'll go.” called down jone of the men. However, after a hurried consultation _between the French, Belgian and British officials the Belgian decided not to interfere. | A few ‘moments later a separatist leaned from a window and, speaking in French, shouted: Look to Allied Aid. “We are looking to France and s i Belgium_to help us out of this situ- ation. We suffered for France and | Belgium and we welcome anything they do, but we will have nothing to do_with the Prussians.” The time had now every one was waiting tensely. ly a stentor expired and n voice shouted from the window, “No negotiations!” Within the next truckload of blue police arrived, and | clearing the approaches to the build- {ing put a ladder up to the windo | The officers were beginning to ascend when Herr Buhr called upon them to halt. ~ After a short conversation among the allied officers it was de- cided not to allow the police to storm the building, as this would only in- volve more bloodshed. Send Deflant Word. Soon after 8 o'clock in the evening that the republican movement had spread to Coplenz. The spirits of the besieged rose con- siderably, and they sent word to the ! German officlals that if the latter to come and get it by force. Then Deckers and his company locked up for the night. % During the negotiations between the German officials and Deckers repub- licans and loyalists became almost permitted to pose outside for pho- tographers. Deckers appeared at_the front door with Fraulein Emily Walters, also a separatist. These two, with twenty- eight men, posed for the movies for a quarter of an hour. Asks About His Wife. Deckers, who had been among the beseiged since late Monday, was eager to know what had become of his wife. He asked several of his fellow citizens about her, but his questions went un- answered. “We are looking for reinforcements from Crefeld,” said Deckers, “I can't understand why they are not here. As soon as they arrive we will swing quickly into full power again.” Deckers, Frauleln Walters and the others all waved their hands and cheered for the movies. They then retired, while the police looked on from a distance. A gray-haired man, somewhat stockily built and wearfng a suit that had seen considerable service, Deckers apparently enjoyed the ex- perience with the photographers, but was visibly nervous, as were the police and other spectators. They all jumped whenever a motor cycle or an automobile missed fire in a nearby street. Get Two Wounded Men. Fraulein Walters said there were two other women among the leaders of .the new republic, and that_the husband of one of them had_been badly wounded. When the officials heard there were two wounded men inside the building the British consul acted as spokesman, and soon after- ward a_city ambulance arrived. The separatists brought out the men, night's shooting, during which it was first reported from five to eight persons had been killed and thirty or_more wounded. The wounded separatists were re- moved by the ambulance. Both the and Deckers sald he thought the to_prove fatal. The government building remained unlighted last night, as the city had cut off the electricity and also the water, in the hope of starving out the possessors of the bullding. HOLD MUELHEIM-ON-RHINE.

WIESBADEN, October 24.—Several hundred separatists occupled the town hall here, also seizing several other government buildings. Attacks on_the police stations were repulsed. The police disarmed street demon- strators and then cleared the thor- oughfares. There was some firing, ten persons being wounded. The French have undertaken patrol duty. FIGHT WITH HOSE PIPES. Bonn Police Repulse First Attack on Town Hall. BONN, October 24.—Tho first as- sault of the Rhineland separatists on the town hall here was repulsed by the use of hose pipes and three of the attackers, armed with revolvers, were arrested. Two hours later the French oc- cupied the building on the pretext that a shot had been fired from within. The staff of the municipal em- ployes was ordered to assemble in one room, where every one was searched for firearms, thus affording the separatists an opportunity for oc- upying the structure, which they did. A republic was immediately proclaimed and the magistrates and officials then departed. REICHSWEHR ON MARCH. Gen. von Mueller Reviews Columns at Dresden, Saxony. By the Associated Press.

WEDNESDAY, OCT [ OBER 24, BERLIN LUNCH COST NEARLY 3BILLIONS Loaf of Bread Is 5,500,000,- 000 Marks—Coffee Per Cup Is 1,000,000,000. 1923, By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 24—Bread is bringing 5,500,000,000 marks a loaf in Berlin, and little is to be had, as the bakers say they cannot afford to buy flour in the open market and sell at that price. There were long queues of anxious people before the bakeshops hoping to obtain bread be- fore the closifg hours. The mark was officially quoted at 56,000,000,000 to the dollar, and the unofficlal quotations ranged much lower, with the result that the prices in marks of all commodities were ris- ing rapldly this afternoon. Lunch Costs Billions. Two billlon five hundred and forty milllon marks was the cost of a lunch consisting of hot wienies, po- tato, rolls and beer today in an ordl nary lunchroom of the Alexander- platz, in the workingmen's section of the city. The beer cost 980,000,000 and two rolls 360,000,000 marks. One could obtain coffee at 1,000,000,- 000 marks per cup. a piece of cake or pie at 800,000,000, and a plate of soup at 300,000,000 Many men who entered the lunchroom .left without ordering, not being able to pay the prices. In the street outside three Salva- tion Army women 3erved free hot soup from a field kitel to a mis- erable crowd of cripples and aged persons who had brought pans and buckets and had waited hours before the kitchen arrived, lest they should ot be among the lugky who are fed here_every noon. Hopes to Stabilize Coxts. Count Kanits, the newly appointed food minister, is working out a plan the wienier with potatoes 1,200,000,000 | which he hopes will stabilize bread costs and enable the bakers to meet the public demand. He hopes to re- lease the government supplies of Many janitors and other ordinary | 1aborers received not more than 10,- 000,000,000 marks for thelr last week's work, which amount buys less than two loaves of bread at this week's prices.
