In the basement bargaining to follow, the House conferees might possibly accept these amendments provided the Senate backed down on its $24,000,000 dry fund.

The gigantic dole was approved by special act of the Reichstag. With great difficulty the deadlock between employer and employed was temporarily settled, last week, when workmen agreed to resume work on the old wage scale pending a decision by Minister of the Interior Doctor Severing as to whether or not their wages should be rightfully increased.
