. B GERMAN REVIVAL ACREENENT FALS Fremature Publicity and Eand Communists Blamed for Economic Fiasco. 1 Radio to The Star and New York Herald- ‘Tribune. Copyright. 1930 {BERLIN, July 14.—The interesting eXperiment to bring about an economic revival in Germany through an agree- t between capital and labor has rébently ended in failure after an ex- timely promising beginning. The lead- i representatives in German industry afid German trades unions met in con- clgve in an attempt to agree on a simul- taneous price and wage reduction. An ment,_of this kind was expected 19 revise business confidence throughout the Reich, develop production and in- cpease employment and lower the ten- sion now existing in the German m- litical world by bettering relations be- tween employers and workers. ZAbove all, the agreement would give | eral Jaw should be enacted dissolving all existing wage agreements between employers' ~ organizations and unions, and requiring substitutions of new con- [ tracts with lower wages. The workers felt that this step indicated bad faith | on the part of employers. | A similar effect was attained by the proposal of Herr von Siemens, chair- man of the German Railways, in letter to Chancelior Bruening. asking that the government permit the com- |pany to cut wages in order that the | Ppending deficit might be wiped out | These developments led to the breaking off of the negotiations between the in- | dustrialists and: the trade unionists. But, although official discussions were called off, informal meetings between the two parties to reach an agreement were bound to continue. | isrupted by Publicity. | 1t _is@@enerally . felt _that premature | publicity did most to prevent a friendly | understanding being reached by per- mitting the Communists to make the |trade unions nervous. Dr. Adam Stegerwald gave warning in a recent Reichstag speech that the government | was prepared “to take many drastic | measures” in the Autumn and Winter if capital and labor were unable to get | together, and agree on common action for lowering costs of production “Our domestic price level today,” said | the minister, “is unsound and not ten- | able in the long run, for I consider | that the world tendency for price sink- | ing will become a permanent feature.

They also red, quite correctly, that either the sent unhealthy price level in Ger- ndy had to b reduced in agreement With the workers, or put through by f@rce. But the attempt to cut wages affbitrarily would mean stries and logk- opts. and that in the long run this would prove as disastrous to German egonomy as the continuation of the ex- isting price level nobody could doubt who recalled the consequences to Eng- | Iand of her general strike and the en- suing protracted coal strike in 1926. The overtures of the German indus- trialists received a friendly reception from the men. The plan for joint co- eration was indorsed from the start the Cathblic and Liberal unions, while the general federation, bering some 5,000,000 socialistic- ly inclined workers, indicated that it would listen to proposals from the “pther side” with an open mind. At first_negotiations went very well and an epoch-making agreement for simul- taneous reductions in prices and wages capital and labor loomed prom- igingly on the horizon. 2 These uded, however, by a series of un- ppy developments.
