Britain Confronted
by Labor Crisis Owing
to Miners Demands

London, July 22.-On the morrow
of the peace celebration, with the
newspaper columns still paying
plentiful tribute to the great DEM
onstration and urging that they now
settle down to work, Great Britain
finds herself confronted with one
of the most serious economic crises
in her history.
Alarm is everywhere felt at the
actioE of the coal miners in put
ting stop to the output in a large
area of the coal fields, and espe-
cially at their risking the permanent
destruction of some of the mines
by preventing the pumps from oper-
ating. The London press voices this
alarm in unmeasured terms, seeing
the nation faced with unparalleled
calamity, which is pointed to as
threatening national bankruptcy.

MEx|CANS KILL
FIFTY AMERICANS
IN THREE YEARS
Suffer No Prosecution Or
Punishment for Crimes,
Ambassador Fletcher
Tells Committee.

Washington, July 22,-Henry ?
Fletcher, American ambassador to
Mexico, told the house rules COM
mittee today that since his appoint
ment three years ago, about 81
Americans had been killed in Mex
leo without a single prosecution be-
ing made by the Mexican authori-
ties.
Replying, to questions by Chair
man Campbell, Ambassador Fletcher
said withdrawal of recognition ot
the Carranza government by the
United States would only increase
the turmoil in the southern repub-
lie. He added that he did not know
OF any revolutionary leader capable
of establishing permanent govern
ment.
No Special Feeling.
Ambassador Fletcher said he had
not noticed any special anti-Ameri-
can feeling in Mexico and explained
that the presence of more American
citizens there than other foreigners

The ambassador was summoned
before the committee in connection
. with resolution introduced By
Representative Gould, republican,
New York, proposing appointment
OF a joint congressional committee
to investigate relations between this
country and Mexico,
No Opinions Expressed.
Mr.. Fletcher repeatedly declined
TO express opinions upon conditions
IL the southern republic.
DO you regard the situation III
Mexico as improved in the last three
years?" asked Chairman Campbell.
"Oh, yes" was the quick reply.

Twelfth Victim Dies.

an ordinance regulating flying over

Twelfth Victim Dies.
The twelfth victim of the calamity
was Milton G.. Norton, a newspaper
photographer, who died Tuesday.
Devotion to duty marked his last
semi-conscious moment. He was a
veteran newspaper photographer
and sought the ssgnment to go
with the dirigible on one of its early
test flights. His parachute ignited
as he leaped from the machines
gondola and he fell in the street. As
death approached he murmured that
he hoped his camera and plates had
not been damaged.
The coroner's inquiry will be re-
sumed Wednesday morning. By
that time officials of the Goodyear
company are expected to have ar
rived from Akron.
The dirigible was declared to be
a sister ship of the A, the army
ship which recently flew from Akron
to Langley Field, Va. The blimp
was planned for a package carrying
service between Akron and Cleve-
land, it was said.
The question of civil liability is
arousing interest among legal and
insurance experts. No precedent
exists, it, was said, and even prose-
cution for manslaughter, as a result
of the accident, may have to be
based on old English law.
Statement Is Issued.
A statement from Harry A. Dsr-
ger, local counsel for the company,
said:
"The facts do not constitute a
crime. 1t was an unfortunate acci-
dent due to unavoidable causes. Ev-
cry individual connected with the
ship, whether pilot, mechanic, rig
ger or engineer, were skilled and ex-
perienced men and the best avaiia-
bic i'll this country"
Several balloonettes were sus-
pended from the gas bag and friction
of these smaller bags was possible
cause of the fire, according to Harry
Wacker, of Cleveland, a mechanic,
who escaped death along with Pilot
Boettner and one other occupant Of
the airship. Their two companions
were killed.
