with tho committees which waited on
them because those committees were not
made up Of employees OF their mills.
Officials of tho Arlington and other mills
have ha1 several conferences with tho

for All increase Of pay and abolition

to the cooperation Of the boards OF

COAL STRIKE IN
ENGLAND IS NEAR
Greatest National Catastrophe,
According to Foreign secre-
tary, II Days Away.

London, Feb lS.-Although the coun-
try is now within II days of the coal
strike, which will involve hundreds OF
thousands Of miners and which Sir Ed
ward Grey. the foreign secretary. has
des rribed as threatening the greatest
national catastrophe In our history"
there is no sign yet OF any attempt Mt
mediation from any quarter. Eight hum
dred thousand miners have already
handed In their notices to quit work
March 1. and the newspapers and the
public are calling insistently for govern
ment interference. The government Is
reluctant to force itself upon the dis
putants. however, and both sides appear
to resent the idea of interference.
Doubtless Premier Asquith and the
president OF the board OF trade are
anxionsly studying the question and Sir
Edward Grey has gone out OF his way
to appeal to those involved in the dispute
to come to terms. instead of piunging
into q situation which was bound to
prove ruinous to the country.
Probably nothing will be done for n
few days. as the miners are extremely
anxious to learn whether the foreign
workers will support the strike. A meet
ing Of the executive committee Of the
International Miners Federation Will pv
held privately In London on Wednss-
day to determine upon what action shall
be taken. In the same way the miners
federation awaits the views OF the
Transport Workers Federation. whose
council will meet at Manchester Friday
to consider the crisis.
A hopeful sign In the situation Is that
tho mems strike funds are not sufficient
TO maintain n prolonged strike.
