Arguments Against Lake Street Ex-
 tension.

In answer to your editorial of June Fist in regard to a new central street. l have the following to say: This project has cropped up several times, it is true, but it has never met the public approval. for the fol- lowing reasons:
 First-lnstead of lessening the congestion as you claim in your edi- torial, the congestion would be in creased be"ause this new street would abut at Main street and not cross through. Needless to say the dan- ger hazards would approximately increase.
 Second-1t would also be dangerous to have a street running parallel and adjoining the railroad tracks. It would thus become a Death Ave- nue.
 Third-The purpose of orenlng such street is confessed'y for the selfish interest of few property

 4 better way to relieve the con- gestion would be either to widen, improve. and develop Myrtle street. from Main street to Burritt and Joining West Main street beyond Black Rock bridge or by extending Center street, by tunnel, under the railroad tracks and depot, to Church street. This latter method would open a road for traffic at all times under the railroad and would elim- mate congestion on Main or Elm streets. Would the above mentioned public spirited property owners be so anxious to contribute $7o,o0o to- ward this plan?

day Manufacturing Plants and

By Associated Press.
London, Oct. 1.-THE United King
dom today was faced with perhaps
the most ominous industrial crisis in
its history, due to the decision OF the
coal miners to allow the strike
notices to become effective Saturday
night, following their rejection of the
compromise offered to their demand
for two-shilling -per-shift increase
IN wages.
It seems certain that unless the
government or the mine owners con-
cede the demands OF the men or
make fresh and attractive offers,
more than 100000 miners will not re-
turn to the pits Monday, thereby
throwing hundreds Of thousands of
workers in other industries out OF
work.
At this mornings conferences Of the
miners delegates, who met to con-
slider the deadlock, q small minority
held out for submission Of the claims
OF the men to arbitration, but this
was brushed aside.
No sooner had news Of the decision
been received in the great steel dis
trict of Cleveland, Yorkshire, than
the iron and steel manufacturers
there began preparations for closing
the works. 1t is expected that IL the
strike materializes most of the blast
and steel furnaces will become idle
