London, March 26.-The prime min.

announced that the government had
failed to terminate the coal strike. I'VE

thoroughness and impartialty and ii
is with profound disappointment that

our labors have been unavailing."
In a final appeal to the disputants.
the prime minister said:

of relatively small proportions, they

The Nationalists abstained frofa vot-
ing, and the Unionists voted with the
government. A large section of the
Liberals and it is even rumored some
members of the government feel that
Mr.. Asquith has made a mistake in re-
fusing to permit the insertion of any
minimum figures in the bill as ii was
almost certain that the admission OF

would have settled the strike. At the
same time very general sympathy i.
felt for the premier who Appeared
quite crushed by the failure of his
efforts to secure settlement
After the rejection of the Brace
