London. July 24-The coal strike
In Britain brings the most serious
threat to industry that has happened
since the country went to war in

The transfer of troops to the col
lieries for the protection of bumpers
drafted from the navy has aroused
high feeling among the miners, who
are determined to bring about govern
ment ownership.
Sir Eric Geddes. who Is on the
scene. says that the government IL de-
termlned to use all the resources Of
the state, whether they are the re-
sources of citizens or the armed forces
of the crown, to prevent ruin to the
community.
The threatened flooding of the
mines, he said, will cause vast un-
employment, and for many months will
stop the output OF coal, entailing the
ruin Of the principal industries OF the
country.
Sir Eric went 80 far as 20 state that
the life Of the nation is mt stake, an
those who advocated stopping pump
ing did not realize what they might
bring on.
Sir Eric Geddes went to Leeds with
a retinue of officials, but announced
his mission was only for the protec-
ton OF the mines against flooding and
for the direction OF sailors engaged In
pumping.
