GERMANS HOPE FOR STRIKE IN BRITAIN
“ WILL NOT DO US ANY HARM,” IS THEIR VIEW. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received January 6, noon.) BERLIN, January 5. “We wish our British neighbour everything of the best in the New Year, of course, but a few months of a British coal strike would not do us any harm,” remarks the “ Bergwerks Zeitung,” the coal industry's organ, commenting on the South Wales strike, on which the eyes of the German coalowners are fixed.
South Wales is receiving greater attention than the troubles in the Ruhr, where 14 per cent of the miners are on strike. In view of the probable beneficial reaction of the South Wales strike on the German coal trade, the owners may be induced to forego their demand for an 8 per cent wage cut.
Serious clashes between the miners and police are occurring in the Ruhr. Miners going to work were fired on by Communists near Dortmund, and one was killed and two wounded. —“ Times ” cable.
