GREAT STRIKE Threatened
Million English Miners Voting on Pro.

London, July The Miners Con.
federation of Great Britain, after a
prolonged meeting, has decided in fa-
vor of ballotting its million members
as to whether or not a national strike
shall be declared in support of the
Scottish miners, who are resisting a
wage reduction of pence a day. The
ballot will not be completed before
July q and the executive committee
Of the confederation will meet July
28 to take action on the result.
The present feeling seems to be in
favor of the stoppage of all mines,
condition which would entail prac-
tically the complete paralysis of Brit
ish industries. In view of the conse-
quent expected shortage in the coal
supply many factories already have
served notice to their employees of
the termination of contracts. ~#

DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO INVESTIGATE
 MEAT PRICES
CHARGE MADE OF COMBINE AMONG WHOLESALE DEALERS IN NEW YORK TO FORGE PRICES WAY UP.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 New York, May 29.-Federa1 District Attorney Henry A. Wise today detail ed one of his deputies to investigate the charge that there exists com bine among the wholesale meat dealers do- ing business in this city-and they in- clude all of the big packing houses whereby the price of meat is being forced up. Retail merchants have sent him word that the price has been advanced without warrant; that the advance on the hoof in Omaha has been more than trebled in this city, and that there is proof that even that advance was due to any scarcity of cattle.
 The retail dealers declare that the action of the wholesale men came to them without warning and they are compelled to pay and that they should not be held reSpon sfble for the high prices consumers have to pay. This, however. may be so but the fact re- mains that following the advance in the price of meat, fish and kindred products went up. Even the smoked goods which usually remain at a fixed price, have risen in value.
 The condition is really serious and choice cuts and even those of. a coarser grade are now beyond the pocketbook of the workingma As an instance, porterhouse steak sells at 2S cents pound; srloin at 9; soup and stew meats at 12 cents: mutton at p; lamb at 2S, and chickens from 30 to 40 cents a pound It is also intimated that the price of ice is to be advanced still fur ther so soon as the real season opens.

SUMMERFIELD SCHOOL BIDS ARE
 MUCH TOO HIGH
Board of Education Cannot Have Work Done-Contract for Prospect School Repairs Awarded at $l3,795.

William Noonan was awarded the contract to remodel the Prospect street school, by the board of educa- tion, last night at s13,795. The work must be done by Sept. 13. The con- tractor must pay s25 for each day of delay after that date. The front and rear wings are to be rebuilt of fire proof material, also the stairways, the boiler room added to and lavatories rcarranged.
 The lowest bid on the proposed changes in the Summerfield school. on plans made by Architect J. w. Nor throp, was $52. 900. The board had ex- pected to pay about S30,0OO. The work will probably be abandoned, but MT. Northrop will be compensated for his labor.

 Following the advice of schoolmates Iho had been amusing themselves by throwing stones at him while he was out in a boat, Francis Ives, Il years old son of George Ives of Riverton, jumped into the Pennington River. Tuesday. and but for the arrival of Carleton S. Roberts, who lives nearby, would have lost his life. He was url- conscious when taken from the water and it was some time before he was revived. During recess the boy went out on the river in a boat and school mates began throwing stones at him. In his haste to escape he lost an oar and when the boys called to him to lump in after it he promptly obeyed.
