HOLIDAYS AFLOAT
FOR THE GERMAN WORKERS
WRECK NOT TO STOP THEM
LONDON, June 29,
Dr. Ley, the Minister controlling excursions for German workers, scouts the idea of abandoning them because of the wreck of the liner Dresden oft' the Norwegian coast, and declares that he will charter double the number of steamers, says the Berlin correspondent of "The- Times."
The foreign correspondent who inquired about the matter was informed that his question was characteristic of countries where the workers were not treated to cruises, but to tear gas and rubber truncheons.
It was stated at the inquiry into the wreck that the captain, who had been on the bridge for forty-eight hours on end, left it an hour before the crash.
The extinction of the fires by the inrush of water precluded the beaching of the vessel on Karmo Island, and necessitated the lowering' of the lifeboats.
The- officers of the ship said that the wreck was due either to the wrong placing of a sea-mark or to striking an uncharted shoal.
