Later the Germans came Into line, becoming the first union members since the Hitler regime began. Then Berlin ordered- them to withdraw, and once again a strike appeared to be inevitable. Semi-diplomatic moves were made bohiud. the scenes with the result that this weelr the Gorman Embassy in London announced receipt of a message from Berlin giving permission to the men to join the union, This was strictly on the understanding that their connection with it did not extend beyond matters concerning wages, hours of work and like questions, and that their membership did riot, involve them in any political obligations whatever.
