London, July 2S.-Anxiety in par
liamentary circles over the industrial
outlook for public order in England
at the time is without parallel. 1t
is not due to strikes. which might be
adjusted; the spirit that underlies
them furnishes really a grave prob
lem.
Coal miners were never half so well
off either in pay or in working hours
as they are today; never have they
had less reason for discomfort, Yet,
not only are they striking, but they
are also resorting to sabotage, thus
nJurfig tnelr oWfi means oE Iucufe
livelihood, assuming that they meal!
to gain it by work, not by anarchy.
Soldiers in service are Bitter.
The rank and file repel the advice
of their leaders and they treat with
contempt government offers of inter-
vention, They sullenly pursue the
road to destruction regardless OF
the warnings of the press that they
are working for the ruin of their coun-
in this crucial epoch in Great Britain's s
financial history
This spirit is not confined to the
miners. 1t is manifest among all
classes of workmen, and particularly
among discharged and demobilized
soldiers, who seem imbued with bit
ter desire for reve nge against the
government system that broke up
their lives. Evidently they are deter
mined the country shall not be
governed by the old social order.
Even among soldiers still in the
service, mutinies are of almost daily
occurrence. When the war office
orders a draft for foreign service it
never knows whether the men will go
or not. In London it is now the ex-
ception for soldiers to salute their Of
ficers. They regard with a cold stare
even their generals, who are plentiful
enough during the luncheon hour in
the West End. Non commissioned
officers march by the generals with
their hands in their pockets.
Labor Resents Old Order.
Such things may seem trivial to
those unacquainted with British
army conditions, but in reality they
constitute revolution. They are symp-
tomato of the feeling of the entire
working class, which resents the
old established order of life. The
fact that the detail of naval stokersI
to keep the mine pumps going is re-
garded as perilous expedient, lest
the stokers may declare for the min
ers, shows the degree of misgiving I'M
government circles as to the reliance
to be placed on the forces of the
crown in the event of serious trouble.
The Triple Alliance of Labor will
meet to decide IL action shall be taken
to enforce the withdrawal of British
troops from Russia, to abolish con-
scription, to enforce the award of the
Sankey commission, which the gov
ernment departments have obstructed,
and to bring about the naturalization
of the mines.
If the meeting resolves on direct
action it will be naked revolution and
Bolshevism at once. Every hour that
passes seems to strengthen the hold
of Bolshevist doctrines among the
British proletariat.
The prime reason for this situation
is the absolute distrust by the masses
