THE ENGLISH STRIKE.
1t May Throw 100000 Operatives
Out Of Work.

In thI country the magnitude of the English
strikes can hardly be appreciated. The miners
themselves number $50, 900, and their strike
will be the biggest ever experienced. Worse
than that, the scarcity of fuel if the strike lasts
may cause stoppage Of the cotton mills of
Lancashire and Yorkshire and the iron works
OF the Midlands, result that would mean the
enforced idleness Of over 1900, 900 operatives
The situation is viewed with gravest uneasiness
Several mills in Lancashire have been COM
PEELED to stop work on account of the scarcity
Of coal arising from the strike Of the miners
and Others are running on short time for the
same reason. The attitude of the miners
varies according to the manner in which their
demands are met by the masters.
The coal workers in the miners federation
have ceased work because an immediate ad-
vance was not granted them. The coal owners
association tried to gain time, but the men
would not be denied and declared they would
have their Increased wsges at once or strike.
SO many individual owners have expressed
their Willingness to concede the advance that
1t Is possible the employers, as a body, will
yield. but this is thought 10 be scarcely likely
as the yielding owners are mostly Lancaster
men, who have their mills also to consider
The factory owners have been looking forward
TO possible strike. as have also the coal mer-
chants and these have laid in enormous stocks
OF fuel to meet possible emergency.

How the Family of Mcdonald Have
Been Represented at the Capitol.

The Office of the secretary of the Senate con-
;.ins larger quota Of fne-looking men than
any other Office in the District of Columbia or
anywhere else. Among those who attract pop
uiar attention and at whom lady visitors look
with smiling and envious visases is a member
of the Mcdonald family. The Mcdonald fam
lily has had good deal to do with the keeping
Of the records Of the United States Senate--in
fact, there would not have been any Senate
records in existence prior to the year 1914 had
It not been for the vigilans activity of the first
Mcdonald who ever held place in the Senate.
That was ]. G. Mcdonald. He was
appointed in 1909 az chief clerk under
Samuel Otis and served twenty-seven years,
resgning his Office Just before his death. Per-
haps the most valuable service he rendered the
United States was given when the British forces
were marching toward this city in 1914 intent
on the destruction Of the government buildings
MIR. McDonaid's first thought WAS for the Sch
ate records and these he packed up and carted
off TO the crypt of the little church in Rock
Creek cemetery. There he hid them and there
he found them when the invaders had de-
parted. The records of the House of Repre-
sentatives were destroyed because there was no
Mcdonald at that end OF the Capitol to care for
them.
The vacancy caused by the resignation of j.
G.. Mcdonald was prize for which there were
many applicants and it looked for while as
though the Mcdonald family might lose its
representation. 1t did not though. for Sena-
tors Thomas II. Benton. Richard ii. Bayard.

cured the appointments in the secretary's Office
OF William J. Mcdonald He became CHIEF
clerk on the death of General Hickey in 1867
and held that responsible position until June
1873 when he died. after an uninterrupted ser,
vice of forty-two years. Before that occurred
however, con March 4. 1872 Ii. b. Mcdonald
son of William j.. was appointed to q place il

The Allen dintsr incorporated cigarette
company Of Richmond filed two bonds yester,
day III the Office Of the United States collector
Of internal revenue. These we're given on &C
count Of the transfer OF this company to the

The illustrated article on the steam railroad
grade crossings of Washington and the acct
dents which have occurred at these points,
published in Saturdays STAR. should be read
III connection with the statements of the lieu
tenants Of police. published yesterday. which
show how inadequately these grade crossings
are protected The ordinary dangers of the
surface tracks have been aggravated by the
illegal rate of speed at which trains have been
run by illegal use OF the streets for freight pur-
poses, involving a shifting of trains TO and fro
on streets to be crossed. and by failure to fully
observe the law concerning the protection of
the public at crossings. The extraordinary
risk at Washington grade crossings could, Of
course, be removed by the enforcement of the
Law against the railroads, but the experience Of
the capital in attempting to compel the roads
to obey the law has not been encouraging, and
the definite conclusion has been reached by
the public that the only way to satisfactorily
protect Washington grade crossing is to
abolish it.

Notwithstanding the fact that the women
were successful in many of the local contests
IN the Kansas elections yesterday, only a little
over half Of the registered female voters
avaiied themselves of their privilege. This
may indicate, As IL the case of the men, that
very many sUrfragans are tired of the trouble
of voting. Absenteeism in politics is one of
the worst evils OF our times. The respectable
and intelligent citizens should go to the pri-
mary and poll. in order TO check the harm
threatened by the corrupt and the ignorant.
