German Workers Idle As
Food Shortage Strike Hits
Ruhr District Industries
BERLIN. Jan. 16 M'l Some 75.000 Oerman workers were Idle today
In four Ruhr valley cities In strikes protesting food shortages. Authori
ties feared the strike movement would spread swiftly In Germany's
Industrial heart where hunfter grips 4,000.000 workers. Many of them
are living on starvation diets.
Oerman newspapers In the western occupation tones linked the
labor crisis with what they call a communist master scheme, "protocol
M." to wreck the Marshall plan.
About 80.000 workers wnlked out at Dulsburg, Muehlheim and Dins
laken, quietly and without demonstrations. About 25.000 already were
on strike at Oberhausen.
Coal miners and most workers In essential services remained on
their Jobs Shlploadlnas at Dulburg, the huge inland port at the Junc
tion of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, continued uninterrupted. Freight
trains were halted at Dulsburg. but passenger trains were running.
Strikes and possible riots were predicted last night by Hans Boeck
ler head of the German federation of trade unions, after a conference
of 'German and British officials on the food crisis, which ended without
any action to relieve the shortages.
Boeckler. a moderate, said he Is opposed to the strikes, but that
stoppages are certain when people are hungry. , i.
Simultaneously, Germany's sputtering political situation boiled up.
Several old line German communists revealed they had split with Mos-eow-dlrected
communists and
formed an opposition party.
The Moscow radio added Its bit to
the Ruhr's turbulent political pot by
broadcasting a special program to
huiujery Ruhr miners seeking to
prove that the way to more pota
toes was through the communist
party.
Calory Drop
The Ruhr, which has remained
comparatively quiet since last win
ter's food riots, sprang suddenly into
the European picture when the 1550
calory subsistence ration level
dropped in many places to 1200 and
even 1100 levels.
Although British-American food
imports have been on schedule, col
lections from German farmers have
not.
American and British military
governments blamed German offi
cials for failure to collect German
officials In turn blamed the military
governments for not giving them
power to enforce collections.
Against the advice of their union
leaders, Ruhr workers have launched
protest strikes.
Starting with 25.000 yesterday, the
ranks of the strikers appeared to be
swelling well over the 100.000 mark
today and a general strike Involving
most of the 4.000.000 workers
threatened the entire Ruhr.
"Protocol M" was reported to be
an operational order from the
cominform communist "interna
tional information bureau" for a
paralyzing strike in the Ruhr in
March, aimed at smashing the Mar
shall plan.
Details of ihe alleged plan first
were published in the French-controlled
German newspaper Der Hur
ler, but within a few hours military
government officials, the British
foreign office and German social
democrat leader Dr. Kurt Schu
macher all said they had copies of
the "secret" document. Foreign of
fice officials in London said they
believed the document was "genuine."
Real Estate
Case Dropped
A lawsuit involving a $1075 com
mission allegedly due J. W. Sanders,
local real estate agent, was dis
missed in circuit court yesterday

the cause of dismissal.

Whitlatch, Bonanza rancher, and
the trial concerned sale of a farm
owned by Whitlatch to Joe Elian
on March 12, 1946. The farm is lo
cated near Malin.
Whitlatch said he listed the farm
; for sale with Sanders from Janu
' ary 19 to March 1 of last year, then
sold It himself to Illian for $21500.
Sanders was asking a commission
on the sale.
Whitlatch was represented by
A. W. Schaupp. Sanders by J. C.
O'Neill.
