HARD TIMES

THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK
Coal Goes Up to Eight Dollars

London, Feb. 81. - Conditions
throughout Great Britain, particularly
in the manufacturing districts of the
north of England, are becoming rap
idly worse as result of the threaten
ed coal strike, which, if it occurs at
the end of the month, will throw $780,
600 miners besides workers in other
trades, out of employment.
At many of the iron works and 9th
er big factories, the men today receiv-
ed notices from the employers that
their services would not be required
after February go should the coal
strike be decided on. Most of the
factories have supplies of coal sufi-
cient for the most urgent work in
hand
In London and other cities, the price
Of coal already has reached S. a ton
and the poorer classes of people are
paying almost double this rate as
they purchase only in small quanti-
ties.
The coal owners met in conference
today to consider the general situa-
tion in the trade, and also to discuss
the invitation of Premier Asquith, who
has requested them to meet him and
some of his colleagues at the foreign
Office tomorrow to endeavor to ar
range a basis of settlement.
Both the coal owners and the min
ers signified their acceptance of Pre-
mier Asquith's invitation to this con-
ference.
The committee of the International
Miners Federation also is meeting to-
day to decide whether the continental
coal miners will support their British
comrades in the event of a strike.
The committee of the International
Miners Federation, who met in con-
ference today, adjourned until to-
morrow. No decision was announced.
1t became known that both the French
and Belgian miners societies have as
sured the British miners they can rely
on their cooperation.

tive, near Reece, Kansas, and one be-
tween Hooser, Kansas, and Dexter
Kansas. Men have been sent from

Blizzard at Chicago.
Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 21.--A snow
storm blown by ~ mile gale from
the north visited Chicago and the
central states today and a sudden
drop of the mercury accompanying it
destroyed hopes of a long period of
pleasant weather inspired by the
springlike air of the three preceding
days. The blizzard is drifting the
snow in banks 20 feet deep.
Snow South to St. Louis.
The snow belt reached south to st.
Louis, west to central Iowa, north in
to Wisconsin and east into Ohio
Not more than a foot of snow has
fallen in any section, according to the
government reports, but it is coming
down steadily.
Street car traffic was affected some
what. Delay in hog shipments caused
the market to go up from to 10 cents
per hundred at the opening.

Much Uneasiness Felt over Assump

Without Taking Oath.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MeXican)
Nanking, Feb. 21-Yuan Shi Kai's
apparent assumption of presidential
authority prior to his formal accept
ance of the post and before he has
taken the oath to abide by the Repub'
lean constitution is causing uneasi'
ness anorG the majority of the Repub-
lican leaders as well as among the
representatives in the assembly sit,
ting here and the officials
DR.. Sun Vat Sen has received no
fewer than $50 kilograms protesting
against the appointment of Yuan Shi
Kai but he expresses confidence in
the eventual acceptance of the entire
Republican idea by Yuan Shi kai and
his assimilation in the reform move
ment.
Should Yuan Shi Kai pursue a con-
trary course, a division between the
north and the south undoubtedly
would be brought about and chaos
would ensue.
In the meantime Dr. Sun, the repub-
lican cabinet ministers and the as
sembly are proceeding with the reg

REPUBLICANS
GET TOGETHER
Regulars and Insurgents Pre-
sent a Solid Front Against
Democrats.
VOTE AGAINST CHEMICAL BILL
Are United for the First Time
on Tariff Since the Fight
in 1909.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-For
the first time since the Insurgent Re-
publicans broke away from the regu,
lars in the fight on the petroleum
duty in he Payne tariff bill in 1909,
the Republicans of the House today
presented practically a solid front
against the passage of tariff revision
bill
All insurgents voted with the reg
ular Republican forces against the
Underwood chemical tariff which was
passed, however, by a vote OF ITS to
127.
With the passage of the chemical
revision bill by the House today an
other Democratic tariff measure was
added to the Senate calendar. The
steel bill is pending in the Senate,
where only a coalition OF Progressive
Republicans and the Democrats can
pass it.
Inc intention of the finance com
mittee is to grant ample hearings to
al. parties interested in the tariff bills
sent over from the House. The hear
lngs on the steel bill probably will be
concluded By the end OF this month,
being continued with the testimony
OF representative OF lead interests.
The Republican members of the
Senate finance committee have had
but one conference. They have not
definitely outlined their tariff pro-
gram, but it is believed the debate on
steel and other revision measures will
be protracted.
The illness of Senator LaFollette
has interfered seriously with the
formulation of policy by the Pro
gressive Republican Senators, who
hold the balance of power and SO far
there have been no real overtures be-

Roosevelt express his views on mat
ters pending in the constitutional
convention, which have been the sub

a schoolmate of President Garfield,
greeted Colonel Roosevelt.
