COAL MINERS
WALK OUT
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOU
SAND MEN STRIKE IN
ENGLISH MINES.
NATION IS |MPER|LED
ALL RESOURCES BROUGHT INTO
ACTION TO PREVENT
RUIN.
western Newspaper Union News Service

western Newspaper Union News Service
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
1914.
The transfer of troops to the col
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 is de-
termined 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 so far as to state that
the life of the nation is at stake, and
those who advocated stopping pump
Ing did not realize what they might
bring on.
Sir Eric Geddes went to Leeds with
retinue of officials, but announced
his mission was only for the protec-
tion of the mines against flooding and
| for the direction of sailors engaged in
pumping.
Soldiers will be used to protect the
sailors working at the mines. The
| use of the military for any purposes
in connection with strikes Is policy
which the unions oppose bitterly and
have made their opposition one of the
chief planks in their platform.
The disclosure by labor paper re-
Gently of secret circular which the
war office sent to officers, asking
what would be the attitude of the SOL
diers in the event they were called
upon for strike breaking, has pro-
duced II great sensation in labor
circles.
There is no doubt that Lloyd
Georges government has met a Sc
rious situation in domestic affairs.
The premier and the other ministers
wore serious faces today.
David Lloyd-George's genius hither-
to has been shown in ability for COM
| promises. Now he is placed between
two opposing forces whose interests
are in direct opposition. The miners,
| who constitute the strongest organ
lied labor body in the country, are de-
| termined upon the naturalization Of
the mines the coal owners seem
equally determined to maintain their
property rights. Moreover, 300 mem
bers of the premier's coalition party
in the Commons have signed a strong
protest against naturalization as a
principle.
The Alliance of Labor, which il
| composed of the railway men, trans
portation workers and miners, met
in London behind closed doors and
registered vote of 217 to IL against
conscription, participation In Russian
campaigns and the intervention of
military force in trade union dis
putes.
