OF an actual civil war; These aues-
tons were asked tonight by a speaker
at a popular mass meeting demanding
that the government forcibly intervene
and compel. some system of arbitration.
What the eventual outcome OF the strike
viii be cannot be forecasted with any
Ger ainty. There are too many different
thugs to consider. One speculation 10 to
the effect that, either the miners will
win complete victory. or the strike will
end with the smashing OF the Miners
Federation. which in its twenty-three
years of ,existence.- has accomplished
much for the British miners. This
eventuality. is feared by some of the old
leaders in the union councils. who advise
the acceptance OF any compromise.
These veteran leaders cite as an argu-
ment the experience OF the 1000 miners
in the Cambrian colleries three years
ago. After holding out for eleven months
and spending all the funds of the South
Wales Miners Federation, and S400. 900
from the Miners Federation of Great
Britain. they were. obliged TO give In to
the owners and return TO work on the
old basis. after not having bettered their
condition at all.

Lisbon. Feb. 2L-The Lisbon working

The Washington herald., 1912-02-25

Federation will quit work at the stroke
OF midnight between Wednesday and
Thursday, and with them over Leo. 600
more men, women, and boys employed In
connection with British coal mines, above
and below ground, will be thrown out of
employment. It is estimated that the
strike will, at the smallest computation,
directly affect 100000 persons. It will.
in addition, ruin thousands of small
shopkeepers, and ultimately 1t will bring
the whole trade of the country to
standstill.
Factories will close. railway trains will
cease to run, ships will lie idle in the
ports There will be no gas and no cleo
trio light. Disorders will inevitably fol-
low, and some predict condition border
ing on civil war. Without doubt the
strike will be the greatest war Of labor
and capital in England's history, and
many expect it to develop into the great
est the world has known.
In every stage of the hght through
conferences with the national union the
mine owners have proved obdurate, and
they have issued statements that they
are fully prepared to cope with the walk
out of the miners. Their objection TO
the demand OF the miners for mini
mum wage" is that 1t would bankrupt
them, and they can better bear the drain
that a general strike would entail They
declare the demands of the miners out
raReous and exorbitant. On the other
hand, the miners declare they cannot
earn q living wage under the conditions
of the prevailing agreement which was
reached In 1870 British miners are paid
on a piecework basis. and when given
poor coal strata to work with miner
cannot dig enough coal to earn his live
lihOod in the present days of high cost
of Giving. Accordingly. insistence has
grown for minimum guarantee to be
paid by the owners in event that
miner does not earn more on the piece
work basis.
The 'sMfnimum Wage"
The question Of a minimum wage"
has only arisen during the last two years,
the result largely of persistent socialist
agitation in the mining towns and VII
lagos. The first resolution passed in its
favor was by the federation conference
last fan coincident with the election to
the executive committee of young and
extreme men, Vernon Hartshorn and c.
B. Stanton. The resolution declared for
a general strike on November Is. but the
delegates of the federation decided not
to strike at the time After lengthy me-
gotiation with the owners, a referendum
vote Of all the miners was taken In Janu-
ary, resulting in a 4-to-1 ballot in favor
of a general welkout, the figures being
1851 against u5.s2l
Since then strenuous efforts have been
made to avert the approaching nation
wide disaster, but every attempt has
proved unayailing. The board OF trade
pleaded with both owners and miners. but
neither side would concede a bit of
Eround. A conference was then held by ]

Boost For Liberal?

Boost for Liberall Well, yesl
That is the duty of every we'll reg
ulated citizen. Then there are
several ways of going about the
boosting business. Talking is one
way, that is not so hard, yet 1t is
very essential Money to make
your talk, talk is a mighty good
way. But work successfully done
with mother earth, that shows the
real merits of the country, is
boosting along the right line.
We believe our business men
and our laboring men should work
together, as both are equally in
terested in the prosperity of the
country. When business men give
their work to contractors who
bring their laborers with them,
leaving in a short time taking
their money along, they are not
doing business for Liberal. II
you bring out of town men to FIJI
the different positions which the
business of Liberal occasions. You
should stop and think of the ad-
vice of the Wichita Boosters
Keep your money at home, and
let it help boost the town. If our
own workmen. whether carpenters
clerks, stenographers, preachers
or teachers, are efficient, why not
work along the line Of other pro-
gressiye cities, and see TO it that
Liberal money stays in Liberals
