Emil Lederer’s 1920 commission speaking turn consists of a single question addressed to Wissell about workers’ attitudes toward sharing in the returns of coal mining:
Lederer: Darf ich fragen, ob Herr Wissell tatsächlich der Meinung ist, daß die Arbeiter in ihrer großen Mehrheit eine solche Beteiligung am Ertrage ablehnen?
English translation: Lederer: May I ask whether Mr Wissell actually believes that the great majority of workers reject such participation in the returns?
The question probes the breadth of an attributed rejection: would a large majority of workers really oppose such participation? It invites clarification without establishing Lederer’s own position. The excerpt neither defines the proposed arrangement nor records Wissell’s answer; its significance lies in questioning a claim about workers’ collective preferences.
