HAM BORN, Germany — (By the
Associated Press) — Sixty-six
thousand workmen employed in
the various Thyssen plants at
• ttaniffi.l lirnWfWBldm/PtiiSbdrragd
Dinslaken are working fall time—
three eight hour shifts a day—
and have not been, affected either
by the railroad strike or lack of
fuel
Locomotives are busy shunting
cars in the immense railroad yard
of the plants. They are built
around seven pitheads and are
ihus provided each day with suffi-
ri.nt coal to supply the entire
works with motive power.
The French occupation has not
y. t interfered with us” is the
opinion expressed at tho Thyssen
plants. “As a matter of fact It
has helped us. We were having
a lot o£ trouble with the Com-
munist element among our work
ers. but the French occupation and
the arrest of Fritz Thyssen lined
th* m un solid behind us.”
Many industries in the Ruhr are
in a similar situation, mining their
•■oal within a few hundred yards
nf the works. The railroad . men.
have remained faithful to their
'ob:; and tho plants are well stock
ed with raw material.

then fired three shots at himself.
The first two went wild, throwing

A number of notes to “My In

There also was found a medal

by the government in 1921 and
later were conducted by the spe

were returned, both covering

LAUSANNE, (By the Associated

Turkish delegation to the Near
East conference said Tuesday that
Turkey and the powers had reach
ed an accord on the jurl&dicial
capitulations but that there were
scill important financial matters
on which an agreement had not
been affected.
The >Turks announced that they
would leave for Angora at six
o’clock Wednesday morning. They
said that offers had been. made, to
eliminate from the treaty the
economic clauses to which they
had objected, leaving such ques
tions to further negotiations.
Riza Nur said Turkey believed
the objectionable clauses could be
eliminated or revised. The indi
cations are that the Turks by fur
ther procrastination, seek her con
cessions from the Allies and that
the ultimate fate of the Lausanne
treaty rests not here but in. t)ie
hands of the governments in Lon
don, Paris and Rome.
