RAILWAY STRIKE MAY BE CALLED
 IN ENGLAND
Strike of Coal Miners Will Be Complicated If Rail
 way Workers Go Out
Government Will Take Over
 Railroads If Movement of ! Soldiers Is Interfered e With.
fspecial from United Press.)

London, March 2--Danger of a rail- situation growing out of the miners tie-up, became acute, this afternoon The executive committee of the Anal gamated Society of Railway servants met to consider the. demands made by the various districts that the rail way employees refuse to handle trains used to send troops to the districts where the strike is in progress. They were also considering the suggestion of a general strike in sympathy with the miners.
 It was expected that the con1mittee would approve the suggestion not to move troops while there was bare chance that the sympathetic strike was officially announced that the gov ernment will take over. the railroads if an attempt. was made to interfere with the transportation of soldiers.
 As result of the coal strike, all food prices were advanced, today, and it was predicted that before the end of next week a new cost of living rec ord would be esta blished. Practically all freight trains were withdrawn, to- day, because of the shortage in coal and coastwise traffic was almo Y, wholly abandoned.
 Railroads, today, began command eering all coal shipments. Many o1 them have only enough fuel on hand to last until the middle of the week when they will be forced to suspend operations completely unless they are successful in getting shipments from France and Belgium.
 Within two weeks. half the indus. tries in the United Kingdom will be closed down unless the coal strike is settled, according to word received. to- day. at the home office. Within a week, it was predicted, a million ad' ditional men would be thrown out o1 work because of the closing down o1 the factories.
 All the miners in the Lancashire district, union and non-union, threw down their picks. today, and refused to return to work. The strike of the non-union men came as a great shock to the government as it was believed that other unorganiZed workers would take similar action.

tOp0CldI rom OnlIe0 PreSS.1
 Pehin, March 2.-With one-sixth of the city in ruins, fresh disorders were threatened, tonight, and it was fear ed that President Yuan Shi Kai would be unable to control the situa- tion. Mutineers were being executed by the wholesale but the rigorous methods of the authorities seemed only to increase the disaffection among the soldiers
 Agitators suspected of stirring up the mutiny were seized and decapi- tated without trial. Rumblings of discontent were heard even among the most loyal mem bers of Yuan's guard who claimed that many inno- cent persons had been put to death.
 So busy were the authorities in trying to prevent another outbreak that hundreds Of thousands of dol lars worth of loot was taken out of the city by the thieves, tonight, un-
