stronger protest than another written

Every lire Of the German answer"
says TINS paper. "tramples upon neutral

TO insist upon her rights and that Amer

mainly VIII remain empty sounds"
Inc Keen says: The subtleties OF
PRESIDENT Wilson'S mind We do not
KNOW. but there appear to he only two
alternatives oren. He could forego the
role OF public crier Of humane principles
ana LOOK upon the affair from a narrow,
practical viewpoint.
I'm that event he could DISCHARGE one

LONDON. July l3-Walter Runciman,
President of the Board of Trade, an
nounced in the House OF Commons to-

that the strike is interfering with the

punishable by a heavy fine, to take
part In a coal strike.
A very serious view is taken OF the
refusal of the miners &c accept a COM
promise. FOR. even In thu face OF the de-
clsion OF the Government, they are
threatening defiance. Most OF the coal
foI the uavy comes from South Wales,
and even before the trouble arose the
supply was affected by the enlistment in
the army Of so ,U00 OF the OUNCE min
ers, which eventually made 1t necessary
for the Government TO stop recruiting In
the mining district of Wales.
Tae crisis inst threatened three
months ago, when the miners gave
notice to terminate the existing agree
ments on July /. In lieu of these they
proposed a national programme giving
an all around increase ins wages The
owners objected to the consideration OF
the new terms during the war and asked
the miners TO accept t'r existing agree
ments Plus a war bonus.
After n series of conferences the
union officials agreed to recommend \
compromise, which was arranged
through the board OF Trade. The
miners. however. voted yesterday agains,
this and the Government was obliged
to take action.
The miners assert that their demand
would mean no more than six pence
de cents) a ton. and argue that as the
owners are receiving much more for
their coal than previously they could
we'll pay II. As "A matter of fact, Mr.
Runciman to-day also introduced a bill
