TROUBLE IN THE RUHR
COMMUNIST DISORDERS MANY LEADENS ANNESTED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. BERLIN, January 5. (Received January 6, at 1 a.m.) Communist disorders have broken out in the Ruhr and Aix La Chappell© districts, supplementing an attempt to cripple shipping by the seamen’s strike. Three hundred and fifty Communist loaders were arrested in the Ruhr, including the entire general staff, which was surprised in its secret headquarters near Recklinhausen. At a number of pitheads in the Ruhr armed pickets tried to drive back the miners who were attempting to resume work. There was also considerable looting of shops, which the police in armoured cars stopped. The Communists, however, have reckoned without the 5,000,000 unemployed in Germany, who provide a reserve of labour capable of breaking the best-organised strike. [lt was announced yesterday that the seamen at Hamburg had struck as a protest against wage reductions under the emergency decrees.]
