Strike Is Revolutionary.
BY ], w, r, MASON,

written for the United Press
New York. Oct. 15.--The call for
a British coal strike Ia a revolu-
tionary move to overthrow parlia-
mentafy government. 1t will mo-.
succeed, because Great Britain has
never in the past accepted a dieta-
tor and shows no sign OF waiting
one now.
The head of the revolutionary
movement and the man who wants
the dictatorship is Robert Smillie.
leader Of the miners federation.
He is not a soviet bolshevik, but
he is working for the rule OF the
proletariat.
Smillie has been agitating for .
coal strike for many months. He
expects to bring all industry to q
standstill by shutting of power
through the stoppage Of fuel sup
plies. Then he says the govern
ment will have to abdicate. II
power were cut OF in London, for
instance, no newspaper would be
able to operate its plant except the
London Daily Telegraph. That is
because the Telegraph has steam
plant and enough coal to keep Il
going. while other papers are op-
Grated by electricity from public
stations. II the strike were car
ried to the extreme. It is probable
the British government would pre-
vent panic and disastrous rumors
by using the moving picture thea
tres to put oflicial news ON the
screens. This might be accomplish
ed by generating on the premises
the small amount Of power used In
the arc lights.
Rsdaee Price to Consumer.
Smillie's demand for an increase
in wages for miners Is coupled
with q demand that the govern
ment reduce the price OF coal to
the consumers. He wants this ac-
complished without an increase In

President Heydler his belief that

would be q mistake In view OF the
incompleted work of the Cool

tonished everybody. 1t is my in

NATURALIZATION OF
INDUSTRIES DESIRED
BY STRIKING MINERS
Premier Says England
VIII Endure-Bar on
Coal Exports.

London, Oct. 15.-The British
government this morning put an
embargo ON the export of coM from
the United Kingdom. effective i'm
mediately. The embargo is design
ed to conserve supplies for homo
use, the move being the result OF
the threat of q coal miners strike,
beginning next Monday.
Unless some wholly unfore-
seen Intervention develops, more
than 1,000, 900 coal miners through
out the United Kingdom will begin
strike on Saturday. and the coun-
try's all important coal industry
will be paralyzed.
This decision was reached this
morning at . conference Of the
! miners delegates. Who announced /
that in view Of the governments
unsatisfactory reply to the miners
claims for an increase in wages
there was nothing left to do but
strike.
1t was announced that some Of
| the men in the engineering depart
ments would remain at work to
/ keep the mines in order.
Ceincident with the strike deci-l
sion came the announcement that
the government had placed . ban
on the export Of coal. which move
will have far-reaching effects upon
neighboring countries more or less
dependent upon Great Britain for
their supplies.
Many Of the British industries.
notably in the iron and steel
branches, and some of the ship
building and engineering works
already are arranging 10 close
down.
The question whether the rail-
road men would unite with the
miners was the subject Of deep pub
lie concern today. but no indica-
tion as to its course was forthcom-
ing from the railway union.
The government has made every
preparation to cope with the stu
alton, to maintain food supplies and
to provide for other necessaries. No
fear is expressed Of food shortage
in the immediate future
The ministry Of transport today
issued a statement regarding the
railway service in the event Of a
coal strike. 1t says the passenger
services would not be curtailed the
first two or three days Of the
strike, full service being kept up
to allow the people to travel home.
After that pressure has subsided,
however. there would be a reduc-
tion in passenger service OF from
! 10 to 20 per cent.

W3r03W, OCt. 1o.-Genef3l Zeli-

cupation BY his troops. has sent the

Kovno An ultimatum demanding
that all the Lithuanian troops BE-

west Of the Wilma -Grodno railway.
The ultimatum contained a "a hour

Meanwhile General Zellgouski's
troops are taking positions in var
ious parts Of the newly claimed ter
ritory.
The establishment Of the provi-
sional government of Central Lith-
uania, the name adopted by the new
regime at wilma, is absorbing virtu-
ally all attention Of the various
Polish government officials and has
replaced the Riga peace negotia-
tions as the leading feature of the
newspapers. The occupancy of

countries would be the backbone.
Letvia, Esthonia, and Lithuania

Poland, have regarded them with

action against Lithuania has added
to this distrust. The three small

OF the bolsheviki that they realize
they cannot stand alone, and 1t
seems likely the organization Of a
