 STRIKE OFf
ENGLAND REJoIcEs OVER
 RESUMPTION OF INDUSTRY
coaI Miners Vote to Re urn to Work. Wheels of Industrial Activity 10 Turn Again. General Food Famine Narrowly AVerted.
lBv Alaska News Bureau.l

LONDON. April 5-FOl.owing a meeting of the strike leaders and the mine operators, the former annom2- cd at q late hour .aat night that they would call the strike off, which has parallyscd industrial activity in Eng alnd and has brought about a most deplorable state of destttution to thousands of industrial workers who have been thrown out Of employment from the shutting down of factories and industries for the lack of fuel and material to operate wi1h.
 The action of the strike leaders is due to a vote taken by the coal miners on the question of return.n to work pending the passage Of a wage bill by Parliament. which vote was strongly in favor of the resump- ton of labor in the mines.
 This action on the part Of the miners has been expected fir some time as the treasury of the cral miners unton has become sadly de. pIeted by the enormous dram which has been pUt upon it. It is cstimat- ed that oyer two million dollars have been paid out by the union fir the support of She idle miners. Other huge sums have been expended for the support of those thrown out of employment by the closing down of the huge manufacturing industries in England.
 IL has been charged that the op. eratCrs have endeayored to proIonG the strike for the purpose of draining the treasury of the union.
