"BLACK COUN TRY.”

COAL AND IRON REGION TOURED.

Essen, Sept. 22.

I have spent four days in 'Ger- many's Black Country, the famous Ruhr district, which is a jumble of coal mines and iron and steel works and a network of railways, so writs Mr. A. A. Davidson to the Daly Chronicle.

The country is not so black as might be expected, the rolling uplands still retaining much of their original freshness while the River Ruhr, which gives its name to the district, is not at all a mere dirty sinudge.

The industrial cities which it) supports are remarkably clean and progressive places, all with municipal theatres, public parks, and other amenities, and show-) ing healthy pride in the works which have brought them their prosperity. Perhaps their clean. liness at the present moment is due to some extent to the prevail ing scarcity of coal. Certainly I have seen very little smoke com- ing from the numerous chimneys which stud the district, nor when travelling at nights did I see those glares from molten metal and open furnaces which one usually associates with travel in the Black Country.

None the less work is said to be very plentiful, and there is a dè mand for labour which one does. not meat with readily elsewhere in Germany. The iron and steel industry in Germany is different from other German industries, in that it is less dependent than these others upon overseas trade for its raw materials, and did not suffer during the war.

Germany bas her own coal, although it is feared that, with the deliveries to the Allies she will not be able to supply her own wants from her own supplies, even when the miners are produc- ing their full quota

Then, although dependent upon Sweden and Spain for certain high-grade ores, she is still i capable of high production from her own resources of ordinary fores, nor will the loss of the ore deposits in. Alsace Lorraine cripple her vitally. German steel Works expect that the French works will be unable to use the total ore output from these pro- vinces, and will be forced to find a market for them abroad, includ ing Germany.

Labour is plentiful in the Ruhr district but is at the moment

"Labour enaditions are peculiar | at Krupp's huge factory. Krupp's is really a sort of industrial squirearchy, with numerous old workers living in houses owned by the firm and looking upon loyalty to it as the motif of their lives, so that conditions here are likely to remain unchanged.

Labour meantime is working eight hours a day with two shifts daily, and in spécial cases three. Numerous enlargements of works. were made during the war. but the increased productive power | į obtained cannot be used straightaway.

But even if the works were capable of fall production, not all of it could be used in world competition."
