All England Trembles
AS Strike Threatens

LONDON. Jan. 1o.-England Is today
on the verge Of the greatest labor crisis
In her history. Reports from the min
Ing districts declare the men are voting
almost unanimously in favor Of the es-
tablishment Of minimum wage. The
balloting began today. and will close
Friday night. It Is the general opinion
that there Is no chance Of averting u
strike, as the operators have served
notice that they will not consider the
minimum wage demand.
The Cardiff Collier1es have already
suspended domestic and commercial de-
liveries because of the demands made
upon them to supply the navy with fuel.
There is not enough coal in England to
last a month. Thousands of industries
win be paralyzed, ana much suffering
is sure to result In the event OF tie-up
of the mines. Radical laborites are pre-
dieting that civil war will be inevitable
II the government attempts to operate
the mines, as has been suggested.
