London, July 15.-Out of the va
rious manifestations of unrest in the
British labor fields, shown since the
outbreak of the war, there developed
today what may prove, unless an early
solution is found, one of the most Sc
rious strikes in the history of the
country. More than 10000 men
have laid down their tools thereby
shutting down virtually all the mines
in the Welsh fields, which supply
steaming coal for the British navy.
The British government, using for
the first time the authority granted
by the so-called munitions measure,
ruled that the miners must not strike.
proclamation to this effect was is
sued yesterday. The miners answer
to this proclamation was to go on
strike.
Though subject to a heavy fine for
striking and though urged by their
leaders to allow their demands for
higher pay to be arbitrated, the min
ers threw aside all advice and today
refused to take up their picks, thus
not only stopping the mines, but leaV-
ing idle the mine railways and some
ships engaged in coal transport
Theoretically the government is
empowered to check the strike forth
with, but it is a puZzling problem how
the fines authorized under the NUM-
tions measure are to be enforced.
No rioting in the strike district
has been reported.
The leaders have called q CONFER
ence in the hope of reaching Il settle
ment and the whole country is watch
ing the outcome of the case, which is
to- be~a test case of the government
power tc force labor to arbitrate in
the face of the mems contention,
though not of the leaders, that having
made their demands there is nothing
to arbitrate-
Miners Ignore Threat.
Cardiff, Wales, July 15.-In spite of
optin.istic predictions that serious Ia
Dor difficulties in the coal fields Would
be averted, virtually every mine In
Wales was idle this morning, the day
fixed for the beginning of the miners
strike for higher wages.
In one district alone 10000 men
struck, defying the governments proc
lamation that the provision of the
munition act would be invoked to
prevent cessation of operations. BY
10 O'Clock it was estimated that up
wards of 10000 men were out in all
parts of the Welsh fields.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the South Wales miners union
was called for this today to confer
with representatives of the board of
trade, but the rank and file of the
miners are obdurate and the govern
ment proclamation seems only to have
stiffened their resolution to stand firm
in their demands.
Mhen who strike in the face of the
government prohibition are subject to
a fine of SIS a day, in default of which
they may be imprisoned.

That the members of household

In this manner hundreds OF thousands

when tho Russians and the Germans
and the English and the French and

suit of series Of meetings held all
over the kingdom resolutions were
carried which embrace these princio
pies: Cooperation between the states
