STRIKE IN GERMANY.
WAGES AND PURCHASING POWER. BUDGET THROWN OUT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 8, 5.5 p.m. Berlin, July 7. A metal-workers’ strike has begun in practically all the big factories. About ninety thousand men are out, and more are following. The vote favored a strike by twelve to one, but one hundred thousand abstained from voting. Negotiations for the principle of regulating wages according to purchasing power have definitely broken down. The fight for the wage principle has extended to municipal politics in Berlin, where Communist opposition refused to pass the budget raising the city rates in proportion to the depreciation of the mark unless wages were similarly raised, consequently the budget was thrown out. Increased rates will be levied under an injunction from the Prussian Government.
