GERMAN LABOR AND CAPITAL ON VERGE OF WAR i First Skirmishes of Battle to Force Down Wages Already Fought. Bu United Preaa BERLIN, June 3—Germany is believed In certain quarters today j to be on the threshold of a conflict; between capital and labor which may shake the foundations of the country’s economic and social structure. Although several months are regarded as likely to elapse before the full force of the struggle is felt, the forerunners of the conflict already are involving the steel and copper industries in western Germany. Experts feel that as the struggle develops, sweeping nation-wide

wage cuts will affect between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 laborers. At the Becker steel works, at Krefeld, in the Rhineland, a recent 10 per cent reduction was made in the wages of 7,000 workers. At the Mansfeld concern in Eiselben, Prussia, a lockout was declared Monday when the company, which controls more than 90 per cent of the copper production of Germany, insisted on a 15 per cent wage cut, affecting its 14,000 laborers. Textile and machinery manufacturers in Saxony also served notice they were terminating their collective wage agreements, and a similar movement is impending in the Ruhr coal, iron and steel and the Saxon machinery industries, ultimately affecting at least 1,500,000 workers. The business depression engulfing Germany is seen as hastening a great labor conflict and some allege the employers are exploiting the prevalence of unemployment for a campaign aimed at lower wages for active workers.
