RUHR COAL MINES IDLE
MINERS REFUSE TO EXCEED 8 HOURS’ DAY. BIG LOCK-OUT FOLLOWS. Received May 8, 9.15 p.m. BERLIN, May 7. Work at practically all mines in the Ruhr is at a standstill owing to the refusal of the men to work over eight hours daily in accordance with the Government Arbitration award. Eightyfive per cent, of the miners were accordingly locked out. There is similar trouble in Saxony and Upper Silesian coal regions. Thousands of metal workers and other industries arc likely to be affected, as the Ruhr coal reserves are very small.
