MANY THROWN OUT OF WORK
Effect of Coal Strike on Other Brit
ish Industries.

LONDON, March 16-The failure OF
the conferences between the striking
British miners and the mine owners
which have been proceeding for several
days under the presidency of Premier
Asquith, to reach a settlement Of the
coal strike, has brought Gerat Britain to
the realization Of the serious position OF
other industries besides the one directly
affected.
In many places manufacturers have
kept their works going only by extraordi-
nary efforts. They will now no longer
be able to do this, and within a few
days hundreds of thousands more men
and women will be added to the 2,O00, ,OOO
and over already idle.
This morning the Great Western Rail-
way Company shut down its construction
works at Swindon, throwing out of em-
ployment 10000 skilled mechanics The
London and Northwestern railway has
given notice that after Monday large
number Of cars will cease running, while
many other railroad lines and factories
have been compelled to give their men
At Sheffield many of the works have
continued in operation during the past
week only by the most careful boarding
of coal, but even with this thrfftiness
discharged, and Monday it is feared that
pra actically every factory in the town Will
be closed.
Train Service Cut Down.
Not only have the passenger services Of
the railroads been cut down, but the
freight cars have been reduced in num-
ber to such an extent that it is impos-
sible almost to ship any goods at all.
A few small collieries are still working
and wagons from the neighboring towns
form long lines overnight awaiting the
doling out of the scanty supply.
Thus far the strike has been carried on
with practically no disorder.
The critical moment has now arrived,
however, and precautions are being taken
by the authorities to check any outbreaks
that might be engendered by the return
to work of non-unionist miners. A case
in point occurred this morning In Lam
AYRSHIRE. Scotland, where 300 non union
lists returned to work. When the men
left home the trade unionists started To
raid their houses. They came into con-
fiict with the police, one of Whom was
seriously injured.

Father Chadwick then briefly drew a
vivid picture of the great catastrophe
and again emphatically denied the Oft
repeated story that almost all the Of
ficers OF the Maine were on shore saying:

Father Chadwick then thanked the peo-
pie of Havana for the assistance they
gave on the night OF the disaster to the
Maine. and for the tender care bestowed
on the wounded in the hospitals con-
cluding with an eloquent prayer for the
continued independence and prosperity Of

COURT TO DECIDE
WOOL PULP TARIFF
Tdtt's Message on Question
Raised by Other Powers.

In a message to the house Of repre-
gentatives President la.t announc d
that the United States governmen
would refuse to admit wood pulp
free from any other nation than Can
ada until the proper courts have de
cided the question raised by many
European governments under the ia
yored nation clauses of their treaties
After the passage OF the Canadian
reciprocity bill. by which wood pup
and paper from Canada were admitted
free into the United States, six Euro
pean countries demanded that theil
wood and print paper also be admitted
free.
Last month the house adopted a res
Olution asking the president what ma
tions had made these claims, and the
message was in answer to that resolu-
tion.
Accompanying the message the
president sent to the house letters
from Secretary of State Knox and
Secretary MacVeagh, containing in
formation as to the countries inter-
ssted and as to the amount of wood
pulp and paper imported into this
country since last July when the reel
procity bill was passed.
The president says that the ques-
tions of law now raised can be better
considered in a court Of law than by
executive construction, and continues:
