may have TO depend largely for food and
other necessaries.
One OF the most serious features Of the
strike IL that some OF the most important
manufacturing centres have only few
days supply OF coal and may be forced
TO shut their works.
The Cial Controller has issued orders
stopping all foreign shipments OF coal at
Cafdiff. His object is to conserve all
coal for use in this country.
The Shipping Controller has issued the
following appeal:
zone in three OF the population of this
country lives directly by the sea. The

The present strike is of a different
nature from, ordinary labor disturbances
because the railways and the mines are
under Government management There
fore there is no question of the Govern
ment maintaining neutrality between
employers and workmen, as 1t has gen.
orally attempted to do. The RESPONSE
bility rests for the moment on the
Cabinet, but Parliament may be sum-
moned to support the Ministry in its
task.
Heretofore the Government has been
blamed by large section of the press
for the country's after-war troubles,
but nearly all the newspapers have now
dropped partisanship and are support
Ing the authorities. The general opinion
expressed by the newspaper conmenta-
tors is that the labor leaders are trying
to use the strike weapon to enforce
their campaign for the naturalization
OF the railways and mines. The labor
interests, on the other hand. declare
their only purpose is to secure a firm
agreement for wages adequate to the

VOICE OF

? e Q PL E
oFFERs A NEW PLAN.

TITO Editor INES:
The street car situation has now be-
come a serious matter. not only 10 the
cuisines men but to the Industries of the
entire Calumet district. But why put
all the blame on the councilmen. They
are the chosen representatives of all the
people and no doubt would be willing to
meet the street car company half way
but II looks to the man IN the street as
though the street car company were not
willing to accept a compromise.
Hammond is an old city and has moth
ing but an interurban street car service.
I understand the street car company
says they cannot operate with the in
crease of pay 10 their employees under a
&c fare. This may be true but in order
to verify this matter 1 would suggest
the city grant them the privilege 10
charge 7c for 30 or 60 days and put a
man on each car to check up the fares
and at the expiration of that time II
will be proven whether or not the serV-
ice cannot be maintained for less and
then allow them to continue at that
rate providing that they give the public
u ten minute service with a city line
forming a belt line over Holman by way
of Hoffman. Calumet and over the new
line but why sell the city's "birthright
for a mess Of pottage.'

get the sentiment OF the residents Of the
city and see what kind Of a memorial

popular.
1t was also recommended that the
sentiment OF the returned soldiers he
accepted and with so many Gary resi-
