feverish haste to rig up the fire lines

BLACK STRIKE"
NEARING A CRISIS
Stoppage of Coal Supply Is Threat
ening the Life of British
Nation.

London, March a-"The black strike"
as the coal crisis is called. Is now af-
fecting every class Nearly a quarter Of
a million OF workers OF all trades have
been dismissed, railway service is dis
located and disorganized. and like creep
ing paralysis the stoppage of the coal
supply is threatening the life Of the ma
ton.
King George, alarmed at the situation,
has Cancelled his trip. to Sandringham,
and has declared he will remain at Buck
ingham Palace, where he can keep in
touch with his cabinet until the matter
Is settled. The King is in constant COM
munication with Premier Asquith, upon
whom he has impressed the necessity OF
the government securing an immediate
and satisfactory adjustment for the
strikers.
II is not until the Londoner's comings
and golngs are interfered with that ne
realizes that something serious is hap
pening. He will surely realize Il to-mor-
row. when he will begin paying more for
foodstuffs. and shortened train sched-
ules will make II difficult for him to get
to business. Butter has already gone up
= cents a pound in many places, and
sugar ! cent, but the bakers declare
that this is nothing to what 1t will be
by the middle of the week, when the
-four shortage begins 10 be felt.
A statement by Premier Asquith is ex-
pected in Parliament tomorrow. The
miners. evidently being in funds, have no
intention of giving In soon. Reports
from the strike territory say they are
having a merry holiday. Pathetic scenes
marked the closing of the pits in Scot
land and Wales when the ponies were
brought 10 the surface. Some of them
had been underground for fifteen years.
and one had a record OF twenty-five
Years absence from daylight. Most of
them were blinded by the change; some
seemed terrified, and others rolled on the
ground in obvious delight at the holiday
the strike has given them.
