SPEAKS WITH
GREAT EMOTION * j
Dr. Orotzner laboring' under |
great emotion rose and said:
‘I cannot listen to such lies, to
such an unjust arraignment of
my government. I withdraw." He
then left the conference.
General Simon continuing re- i
quested the labor men to get into j
touch with their comrades in the j
Duesseldorf and Duisberg zones,
which had been under • French j
occupation for two yeaia and
learn how well the working men
had been treated. The - leaders
agreed to continue work so long
as there wus work for them to do,
but expressed the opinion that cir
cumstanees might cause the in
dustries to shut down. For the
present they would go on as
usual.
The French are resolved to car
ry out their threats of reprisals
and imprisonment, it would ap
pear, and fhe Germans are deter
mined to resist t.he developments
: likely to occur if by live o’clock
' this afternoon the magnates do
j not recede from their present

of operating the mines with Ger- •
