TRIPLE ALLIANCE
EXPECTS STRIKE
British Labor Leader Ex-
poets Failure Of Inquiry
of Government.

London, March 5.-Failure to
grant the miners demands will re-
suit in a general strike of the
triple alliance" which would para
lyze British industries and probably
force a change in the government
Robert Williams, general secretary
of the Transport Workers Fedora
ton. declared today.
Triple alliance" is the common
term for transport and railway
workers and miners. Williams or
ganization alone numbers close to
300, 900.
Williams, who next to J.. H
Thomas and Robert Smillie, is the
most influential laborite in Great
Britain. is not optimistic regarding
the result of the government in
quiry into the mining situation. He
does not believe the miners will ac-
cept a compromise.
Standardization of all natural
monopolies, with the workers par
ticipating in the management, is the
only solution to the present labor
unrest" said Williams. TT would
go far toward preventing profiteer-
ing and decreasing the cost of liv-
ing"
