Duesseldorf, Jan. 31.—The strike situation in the Ruhr and adjoining regions shows no signs of improve- ment and condifions in some sections are growing warse, particularly in the Lignite mine and the textile in- dustries. At Liblar, south of Co- logne, in the Lignite region, a mob of more than 650@ymen battered down doors at the workings and forced other workers to leave their posts. The strike movement among the textile workers in Elberfeld and Bar- men is growing, while negotiations for ending the strike in the textile in- dustry at Crefeld have failed, the workers demanding pay at the rate of 60 gold pfennigs an hour. The metal workers’ union, however, has decided to rescind its strike order against the abandonment of the elght-hour day, declaring in the reso- (lution that the case was one of des- }v.rml' necessity, but that the men |would take up the fight again when conditions made such action possible, Boston Barber’s Death | Hartford, Jan, 31.—Inspectors Dris. coll and Burkinshaw of the Boston police department are in Hartford to- day in connection with investigation of the murder of Alfred 8.
