made today by the British cabinet
to disguise It's apprehension over
the coal miners strike situation The

at midnight tonight. The union ofii-
Gfals have sent word to Premier
Asquith that no terms arranged

Seven hundred thousand miners
were on strike today at noon, ac-
cording to reports received by the
premier and 1t was certain this
figure would be increased to q mil
Hon by midnight.
Compulsory legislation By parlia-
ment Is now the last hope Of the
officials to settle the coal miners
strike which, up to late this after
noon, had affected more than g00,-
600 men and was expected to In
yolve q million by midnight. The
sup OF the mines through the
untry Is complete, Today's meet

SCHOF|ELD BUILDING
FUNDS CROW SCARCE

Unless congress comes through soon
with liberal appropriation for con-
struction matters the work on the new
Schofeld Barracks buildings may come
to close in FIVE or six weeks, as the
present appropriations under which the
work is being carried on is failing out.
"We have very large number of
workmen at Schofeld Barracks" said
Major Cheatham, chief quartermaster,
yesterday, "and the payroll is very
large one The appropriations are eaten
up rapidly and we have enough now to
keep us going for only five or six
weeks more.
"However, there have been previous
pinches and just at the psychological
moment the appropriations are avail
able / believe we will get our money
and will be able to keep right on with
the work. We are putting most of our
attention to the Fifth Cavalry and the
infantry quarters.
"The contracts for building the ditch
in connection with the new Schofeld
Barracks wnterworks system have been
let The reservoir contract has not been
let for the reason that the $4,000 for
this work has not been passed by con-
gress.
"The contractors who are to stretch
wire fencing around the Leilehua re-
seryation are now making concrete
posts TO which the wire is to be attach
ed, The binding work at Fort Ruger
is completed 80 we are devoting tho
most of our attention TO Leilehua
work.
The $4,000 for the reservoir has
been fayorably reported upon in tho
sonote and win undoubtedly pass in
the near future,
