BRITISH FACTORIES CLOSE
Shortage of Fuel Throws Thousands
Of Men Out of Work.
GERMAN MINERS MAY STRIKE
Employees of Three Galleries At
Bocham Quit Work Because of
Alleged Deduction from
Their Wages.

LONDON. March l-Factory after fac
tory is closing down all over the United
Kingdom as a result Of the national coal
strike. and those responsible for the
trouble are simply marking time for the
present, although 1t is expected negotia-
lions viii soon be resumed.
Besides the miners, considerably more
than i.0o0.0oo Of whom have ceased work.
It Is now estimated that there are up
wards OF $4,000 workers In other indus
tries idle owing TO the strike. and the
number Is increasing hourly.
The crews Of coal carrying vessels
lying in the coaling ports are now being
discharged. as the ships are unable 10
get cargo, and the railroad employees are
suffering in a similar way because Of the
curtailment by the companies Of their
train service. One short line railroad In
Yorkshire has discontinued service en-
tirely.
In isolated instances the striking min
ers have refused permission to men 70
enter the mines IN order to feed the
horses. which have been left below. or
to keep the workings clear. Generally,
however. the utmost good feeling prevails
between the men and the owners.
German Miners May Go on strike.

pected and which had not been ordered
by the miners union. broke out In
three mines here today. the men leav.
Ing work because. as they assert, I'M
justified deductions had been made from
their wages.
Tho incident, It is feared, may pre-
cipitate general strike OF miners on
the question OF wages which the leaders
o. the miners union and the mine
owners are Just now endeavoring to
prevent.
The executive committee or the Ma
tional Miners federation has issued a
proclamation censuring the strikers for
committing breach OF discipline By
leaving work without tho consent OF the
union. The proclamation orders the men
TO resume work, but there Is great APP
prehenEion that the situation will get
beyond control
Premier Asquith made his promised
statement concerning the coal dispute to-
day in the House Of Commons. but did
not announce to the country any settle
ment or an immediate prospective settle
ment. The premier's statement was
largely made up Of repetitions OF his

Coal Prices Rise In New York.
NEW YORK, March i-The strike In
the British coal field has caused heavy
purchases here OF practically all the
available supply Of soft coal in the coal
ports In and near New York and at Phil
ndelphla and Baltimore In order to meet
the needs Of the foreign steamship COM
panies using the Atlantic seaboard. Local
coal prices for Immediate and prompt de-
liyeries have risen sharply In conse-
auence. II Is planned to load steamships
with double quantity Of coal here, so
that round trip voyages from this side
may be completed with American coal.

Would the Carrying Of the Single Tax
Amendment Mean Unlimited

Would the carrying OF the Single

for the answer is the Amendment It,

This is the spirit of Single Tax It
means unlimited tsxation. Henry
George, its great exponent, says
In every civilized country even
the newest, the value OF the land,
taken as whole. is sufficient to bear
the entire expenses of government In
the better developed countries 1t Is
much more than sufficient. Hence, 1t
will not be enough to merely place all
taxes upon the value of land. 1t Will

present governmental revenues, con-.
mensurately to increase the amount
demanded In taxation, and to continue
this increase as society progresses ard
rent advances. But this is so natural
and easy matter, that It may be con-
sidered as involved or at least under
stood, In the proposition to put all
taxes on the value of land. This Is
the first step upon which the prac.
teal struggle must be made"
