BRITISH TIEUP

COAL MINERS THROUGHOUT MA
TON ARE ON STRIKE TO
FORCE DEMANDS.
NO BREAK IN RANKS

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

London. oct. l9-The cessation of
coal mining throughout the country
seems complete, for, although the min
ers in some districts appear Ia have
entered the strike in II h~alf-hearted
manner, there is no sign yet of any
break in their ranks, and consequently
the dislocation of the country's indus
tries is becoming widespread.
Nor is there indication of any medi-
alton growing u of conferences, all
parties apparently awaiting the reas-
Sembling Of Parliament when it is ex-
pected the discussion of the strike will
displace the Irish home rule bill.
There is an uncunfirmed report That
the government intends to offer the
miners a compromise of | shilling per
shift advance, provided they accept
submission of the whole dispute To an
Independent tribunal.
The strike will hit the iron, steel and
cotton industries seriously. The great
blast furnaces in the Middlcsbornugh
district are already beginning To damp
down thousands of furnace men and
steel workers are idle, This Tees
Side district provides II third of the
whole British output of pig iron, and it
is feared, should the strike be prolonged
that some 1000 men will be without
work.
Liverpool and Manchester announce

TO AID PRODUCTION
U. S. RESERVE BOARD PREPAR,
ING NEW CREDIT SYSTEM.
AGRICULTURAL DELEGATION
TELLS BOARD LIFE OF NATION
is ENDANGERED.

Washington, oct. 14.-The federal re
serve board is preparing to make
new statement of policy covering al
phases of the credit situation, Gov
ernor Harding told representatives o
agricultural interests in convention
here, who appealed to him for relic
from the stringent" credit situation.
The statement, Governor Hardin.
said, probably would be made public
shortly after the conclusion Of the fal
and reserve bank governors here.
The conference decided to request
hearing before the full membership OF
the board and its agents before the
policy of the board shall be formulated
by the board insofar as it effects agri
cultural credits.
A committee from the reserve board
listened for three hours to accounts
Of conditions which the agricultural
delegation said threatened the life of
the nation through a reduction of food
production.
Difficulties of the farmers were laid
almost wholly to inability to obtain fl
nancial assistance. 1t was asserted
that banks of the reserve system were
not supplying needed funds, and that
many local bankers claimed to be act
ing under instructions from the federal
reserve board.
Governor Harding denied that the
board had issued instructions which
would result in curtailing farmers
credit. The board and officials of the
reserve banks were in sympathy with
the plight of the farmers, he said, and
were encouraging loans to aid them,
but the board was without authority
to instruct member banks as to loans
they could or could not make.

said, Il can see no practical value in
your visit to the board. Our acts are

Meanwhile the delegates considered
whether they should press their re-
quest for a conference with President
Wilson and his cabinet. Some had
thought it would be unnecessary to
take their grievances to the cabinet
after the conference with the reserve
board. Ii was said also that most cab

tary Meredith a cabinet conference
