the result Of the strike vote now being
taken Jy the 100000 members of the
Federation. which will be completed on

the hands Of General Secretary Ashton
by that date.
The vote is being taken on the ques-
ton of a national strike in support OF
the Scotch miners resistance 30 a re-
ductiOn in wages. and it is a fOregOne
conclusion, the Federation officers be-
lieve, that a strike will be decided on
This decision will be communicated by
the executive committee to the coal
operators throughout the country. AS
many Of these hold contracts calling for
months notice before a strike can be
declared, the men VIII probably not guilt
work before September 1.
Both business and WOrkingmen are
agreed that the consequences Of a strike
at this time would be serious. There
is but a few days supply of coal on
hand and the tying up Of the mines
would mean practically the suspension of
Industrial activity.
The Federation represents fully 50 per
cent OF the miners OF the country and
can make the shutdown complete.

Prior TO submitting their annual esLi-

items which the board Will recommend
under the heading building and
grounds" indicating the boundaries in
which 1t desires the new buildings and
sites located, and the particular ground
desired as an addition TO an existing
site.
The object of this request is TO en-
able the Commissioners TO investigate
the value Of the land with the purpose
OF informing Congress Of the probable
cost of the site, and also OF the amount
10 be appropriated for the building
Heretofore. it has been the policy OF
Congress TO appropriate lump sum
for the site and erection OF building,
and frequently the cost of the site has
been such as not TO provide sufficient
money for the character or building de-
sired.
The information, the Commissioners
say will also tend to hasten the con-
struction Of the building when the ap-
propriatiOns are made, as the preliml-
nary Investigations as TO land values
will have been concluded so that the
construction Of the building can be
commenced at an earlier date than
formerly.
