South Wales is receiving greater attention than the troubles in the Ruhr, where fourteen per cent of the miners are on strike.
In view of the problem of beneficial reaction of South B ales on the Gciman coal trade, the owners may be induced to forego the demand of the eight per cent wage, but seiious clashes between miners and police aie occurring in the Ruhr. Miners going to work were fired on by Communists near Dortmund. One. was killed and two seriously wounded.
