STRIKE OF ENGLISH COAL MINERS BEGINS
 9OO,OOO MEN OUT
Compulsory Legislation By Parliament Is Now The Last Hope Of Those Who
 Desire Settlement
Troops Are In Readiness, But Will Not Be Called Out Unless There Is Actual Necessity-Special Cabinet Council Adjourns Without Action-Industres Not Prepared for Goal Famine.

Troops, however. will not be called out unless absolutely necessary. So far, the temper of the men is excellent. Their leaders have urged them to re- main quietly at home and it was be- lieved, tonight, the majority would do so.
 The special Cabinet Council ad- journed without action. Premier As quith explained that parliament would have to act to establish a minimum wage scale and a further conference will be held, tonight, to decide how this can be done.
 The strike situation, tonight, was the most serious in the recent history of the United Kingdom. Few of the big industries have a reserve store of fuel on hand and they may have to close down, adding their thousands already out This may result in riot ing as the majority of the workers in the industries dependent upon coal for continuance have little money to buy food when their wage earning ability is interrupted.

PROPOSED new ROAD TO WOLF
Committee Of Seven, Including Chairman
McIaais, Hike Over the Route.

County Commissioner Neil Nc.
Innis of Eveleth, Martin Nelson of
this city and VIM. Haenke of Wolf,
representing the Virginia CONNER
cial club, and E. J. Kane, w. Holder,
d. E. Mitchell and Joe Lafontaine,
officials Of the town of Nichols,
made trip over the proposed route
of the new road from this city to
Wolf, Monday morning. 1t is an
tic,pated that the city of Virginia
will build about ,hree-quarters of u
mile of this highway, or from
Cherry street to the Missabe tracks
crossing the Eveleth road, and the
towns of Missabe Mountain and
Nichols and the county of St. Louis,
which will be about six miles in
length.
1t is proposed to build the road
beginning IT poin, near the CROSS
ing of the Duluth, Missa be & North
ern sonth Of this city, thence south
west about one mile, when the route
will change in a westerly direction
for one mile, thence south for one
mile, thence west for three-quarters
! OF mile, thence south two miles to
! connect with the old Eveleth and
Iron Junction road at Wolf. A
change from the orr inally planed
route il thought best for the reason
| that it will cut out the building of
bridge across one of the streams
between here and Wolf, which will
lessen the cost of the road about
$4,OOO.
Mr.. Nelson stated that work on
the new road will be commenced at
once, and that when completed a
large number of farmers residing
in the vicinity of Wolf and along
the route will do their marketing in
Virginia., bring many thousands of
dollars worth of farm aud dairy
products into the city annually,
which will naturally have tend
ancy to reduce the high cost of
living to considerable extent. Mr..
Nelson also stated that the country
around Wolf is fast settling up and
looks forward to the time when that
section will be the dairy center of
the county.

VIRGINIA IN the LEAGUE
Central International Baseball League
Formed at Superior Monday Afternoon.

Viryinia will have the "big league
stuff" the coming season. At Su.
perior last Monday afternoon the
Central International Ba seball
League with Winnipeg, Virginia,
Duluth. Superior, Grand Forks and
Fargo was organized as ClaAf
Circuit. Duluth and Superior with
drew from the Minny League and
Winnipeg draws her lease from the
Western Canandian League to join
the new organization. A schedule
Of l20 games, opening on May and
closing on September 2, will be
adopted. Leonard A. Van Praagh
OF Winnipeg has been asked to &C
cept the presidency.
The meeting was called into ses-
sion shortly after 3 o'clock with DR..
!. A. McCuen of Duluth acting az
chairman. Superior was represent
ed by William Summers and c. D.
SeChevereIl; Duluth by J. A. Nc.
Cuen and Robert Blackwood; Vir-
ginia by Ted Finch aud Winnipeg
by A. Bell. Superior voted Fargo's
proxy. while Grand Forks was not
represented, but according to prev.
ious communications agreed to
join the league if organized. Why
Grand Forks wa- not represented
was not made known at the meeting.
Duluth and Superior have agreed
to pay their WY out ut The Nl"ny

ton We're adopted to put the organ

bu -,nes- w.,- attended to N such a
manner that another Inrrt'nE will
not be necessary before the season
starts.
Both Duluth and Superior will
open at home. Winnipeg will not
have any games until the latter par
Of May. The schedule will be ar
ranged by Secretary ScCheverell of
the Superior club and adopted by a
mail vote.
A salary limit in excess of the one
in the Minny league was adopted
but until the matter is taken up
with ,he national commission the
amount will not be named. The
league will not be served by direct
ore, the club owners serving this
purpose. The players list will be
reserved to II men and the manager
of each team is required to be a
playing manager. This is perhaps
the fret time in the history of minor
leagues that such a requirement
has been definitely fixed by the cir
cults regulations, although it is
generally in vogue.
There will not be any of the long
home series that characterized the
schedule last year in this city, as
all of the mileage will be pooled,
making shorter lat home" series.
The holiday dates will also be pool.
