Great Britain is "up against It
again. She had just had her first
peaceful night of rest after that Ger
man invasion scare and was beginning
to feel refreshed when the edict went
forth that the mine workers of Scot
land must accept a cut down in wages
amounting to IL cents per day and the
miners threatened to strike. The min
ers bring the coal to the surface on
which England is dependent for the
success of her great manufactures.
England is less advantageouely situa-
ted than America for her water pow
ers are very few and her undeveloped
hydro electric power almost nil. she
is absolutely dependent on her coal
mines.
If she cannot get cheap coal her
manufacturers will cost more and II her
manufactures cost more than do those
of Germany and America then she Will
be forced out of that field and thous-
ands of English mechanics will emf
CRATE, to keep from starving. Unlike
the German invasion that is not a nc
titious danger. 1t is a very real one.
England finds that her coal is cost
ing her more than she can pay ana

tries to make a reduction and begins
on the workingman. The workingman
threatens to strike and the miners or
England are seriously contemplating
the ACCESSIBILITY of joining their Scotch

calamity would hurt England almost as
much as that German invasion. She Is
between the devil and the deep sea- II
she continues to pay as much for her
coal as she is now paying she cannot
compete in the markets of the world
with her manufactures. If she insists
on cutting the miners wages the MIN
