BRITISH COAL CRISIS.
Millions of Poor People in Danger of
Losing Their support.

Losing Their support
LONDON, March 8.-The coal crisis is
assuming an appalling aspect, especial
ly in the manufacturing centers. The
supply is nearly exhausted and unless
relief comes Immediately thousands of
factories will have to shut down, turn
ipg hundreds Of thousands out Of en-
ployment and depriving millions of
their support. But for comparatively
favorab BILE weather the situation would
be worse and there would be
widespread suffering in many homes.
As it is, the chief anxiety is about the
impending wholesale dismissal Of labor.
There is now no doubt that with the
coming stoppage Of work by the miners
there will take place the greatest and
most widespread cessation of labor in
the history of the coal trade o. Great
Britain and Ireland. The membership
of the Miners Federation comprises
about $50, 900 men, of whom 200, 900 are
bottom workers, the remaining so, 900
being employed on the surface.
