FAMINE SPECTRE

Oy the Associated Press) The pinch of the Franco-"
Belgian occupation is being severely: felt by the German in
habitants of the Ruhr district. Some of the workmen have
already appealed to the French for assistance to keep the
plants operating and themselves in food.
At the same time the-economic mission in the Ruhr is
facing almost insurmountable difficulties Jn the production
of coal and its transportation to France and Belgium,
j The exportation of coal and coke to unoccupied Germany
is forbidden, and an embargo on other commodities, such as
steel, iron and other manufactured articles is threatened.

"BERLIN, Feb.L (By The

German labor speaking for more

nal to which to address an appeal,

I. 4 . Apprehension Felt
Labor's action is the direct out
come of apprehensions with which
the situation growing out of the
occupation of tbe Rhhr is viewed
by the federal leaders, regardless
of j their political affiliations and
the telegraphic appeal to both
houses of. congress is briefly and
informally worded in a message
recalling the German workmen's
willingness to submit to complete
disarmament and their prompt
readiness to adopt a democratic
constitution in ' return for the
American promise that right and
justice should prevail in the post
war, adjustments.
The labor leaders assert that
their action was undertaken inde
pendent of any influence from of-
rficial sources, which it was stated,
would first learn of the appeal to
tho 'American congress in case it
was reported back from Washing
ton. Neither has the German press
been appraised of the unique pro
cedure. ,
' "We decided to go straight to
the official representatives of the
American people with our appeal
and preferred to dispense with of
ficial or diplomatic Intervention,"
Paul Grassmann. vice chairman of
the general federation's executive
hoard informed the Associated
Press.
Few. Control Gerauuay
"The message was drafted this
morning at a joint session of the
executive heads of the four feder
ations and it represents the feel
ing of alarm with which labor al
ready is contemplating the situa
tion after three weeks of the Ruhr
occupation; There is something
more taha the-fate of 'the Ruhr
basin at sta&e. If Germany Is still
a land of apparent order and or

dozen eool headed men In charge

prevented the workers In all lines

Millage Act Bother
The fight Jast night; was main
ly over the question of whether
the the millage act for the Insti
tutions of higher learning applies
only to the institutions in : the
cities where they are J located or
to all. activities t? which; they' are
directly or indirectly related.
At the outset last night Senator
Strayer declared he was going to
vote against the appropriation in
protest against the violation ' pf
faith by the proponents of the
University" of ' Oregon and' , the
agricultural' millage bills when
they ; were, voted, declaring that
their promise not to call upon the
legislation for more money cover
ed all the outside activities.
'I find, he said, "that all of
the OAC ramifications call for
total . appropriations i of about
9440,000 above the millage taxes.
If we don't curb these educational
Institutions they are going to swal
low the state. We must require
one of two things, that, they oper
ate within the millage tax or that
the millage tax act he repealed
and that they come i before this
committee each two year and ark
for the full amounts they think
they need."

Representative Peiria susscst- ,
ed that the extension service and

Zimmerman of the senate side
