Premier Asquith Makes Fer
vid Appeal for Peace,
but 1t Proves
Futile

LONDON, March 5.--The strike sit
uation is deadlocked tonight, with no
prospect of q settlement wrought by
other means than long battle be-
tween the operators and the miners.
The railway employees union to-
day offered TO call national SYM
pathetic strike on all the railroads.
but the general council Of the miners
refused to accept the offer at THIS
time, although the railroad men were
assured that their spirit was appre-
ciated and might be taken advantage
of later, Thus the miners possess a
new weapon in their negotiations. A
national railway strike Ia their own
prerogative.
The strike is also beginning to have
serious effect on transatlantic
steamships. 1t was decided today to
cancel the trips of the New York
and the Philadelphia on March Is
and 20, respectively. The Olympic.
which was delayed at Belfast yester-
day by a storm, and which should
have steamed from Southampton FOR
New York tomorrow. will not depart
until March 13. because of the delay
in getting coal aboard
In an iNpassioned plea on behalf of
Englands suffering millions, Premier
Asquith sought today to bring the hos
tile factions at least to a receptive
frame OF mind, but his fervid appeal
was fruitiess. At the conference of
miners operators and members of the
cabinet. the premier pointed out that
the Industries of the whole country
would be paralyzed by the end OF the
week, and that millions Of men, women
and children, innocent of the strike.
would be the victims.
The miners representatives answer
ed that they were negotiating. under
instructions OF the rank and file. and
could not grant any concessions from
their original demands for q mini
mum wage scale. The operators re-
piled by expressing their doubt that
the government wout6 be able TO
pass a bill in parliament providing for
such q minimum wage. They declared
every manufacturer in the realm would
bring his influence to. bear against
the measure. and thare were o..ers
who would not support 1t because it
savored so much of paternalism.
I Meantime the price of food Is leap
ing upward. Fresh meat is at a pre-
MUM. The abandonment of freight
trains has made milk a luxury. Deal
ers have doubled the prices Of cacned
goods and smoked beef but even a,
these prices the supply is being rap
idly diminished. In rty-eight hours,
unless something Is done to relieve the
situation. thousands will be face to
face with actual starvation.
