L e FUND TO HELP RUHR | LABORERS GRANTED| Socialists Fai] in Effort to Have Money Paid as Dole—Dis- tress Is Growing. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, November 17.—Relief funds not exceeding 20.000.000 marks (ap-| proximately $5.000.000) were made | available by a vote in the Reichstag, today for sufferers from the industrial | conflict which has been waging in| Westphalia since November 1. There is some hope that the credit | will not be needed in fuil, as efforis to | bring the employers and workers to- gether are going on day and night. Socialists in the Reichstag committee | tried to have a provision inserted by which doles would be paid the men on the basis of unemployment insurance, but the People’s party objected to this on the contention that it was tanta- mount to taking sides against the em- ployers. Rather than risk a break- down of the coalition cabinet on the problem, the Socialists accepted the in- terpretation that the government relief was in the nature of public charity. Distress in the Ruhr district is grow- | ing and is spreading to other industrial | centers because of the lack of raw ma- terial resulting from the tie-up in khf_‘i great iron and steel industries.
