Over Attack on the Party by Premiel
Lloyd George.

London, March 2O.---Keen resentment
is felt by moderate labor leaders over
the attack made upon the labor party
by Premier Lloyd George when he
launched his proposals for liberalun-
ionist coalition on Thursday. They de-
clare the premier was preaching class
war" in outlining his reasons for the
new political alignment.
Arthur Henderson, leader Of the la.
Dor party, in the house of commons, has
issued a statement saying:
Labor accepts the challenge of Mr..
Lloyd George. We are arranging to
appeal not only to organized workers,
but to every sympathizer. The labor
party aims to raise fund to enable
it to fight the Goa ition and proposes to
ask for subscriptions totalling e.
100000 in anticipation of an early cleo
ton. =

half foot OF snow had fallen on the
foundation of slush.
Steam trains and electric cars were
making rather slow progress against
the accumulation OF snow on the

DRIVEN ASHORE
AND ABANDONED
Four-Master Schooner Jere
G. Shaw Shipwrecked
Off Block Island
COAST GUARDS DO
WORK OF RESCUE
The Schooner Was Six
Feet Under Water at
Stern

Block Island, r. l., March 20.The
-four masted schooner Jere g. Shaw OF
Biddeford, Me-, went ashore early to-
day off Sandy Point. in position so
dangerous that abandonment by the
crew was decided upon. Coast guards
sent up brseches buoy apparatus and
began the rescue of the crew. The
schooner was loaded with logwood and
bound from st. Marc, Haiti, for New
York.
-Four men Of the crew were taken off
the schooner by the coast guards. The
captain of the Shaw then sent word
ashore that he and the other five men
would remain aboard and jettison the
cargo. The coast guards, believing the
danger too great, sought to have the
skipper reconsider, and Sands Little
field, surfman No. OF the Sandy Point
coast guards, went out in the breeches
buoy to discuss the situation. The sea
was running high and heavy rain was
falling. The schooner was six feet un-
der water astern.
The Jere G. Shaw, three months out
from the Haitian port ran up on the
island shore in a drifting rain and
thick fog early this morning The wind
was strong from the northeast and
the schooner was forced almost onto
the beach. 1t was high tide and the
reeeding waters offered little hope Of
early salvage.
With an increasing blow after day
break, abandonment was apparently
decided upon, and the coast guard crew
set up the breeches buoy lines and
tackle which they had held ready. With
a horse assisting in pulling the buoy
and its passengers ashore, four men
had been brought ashore and the buoy
sent back, when the Shaw's skipper
signaled his intention to stand by his
ship with the remaining men and let
her cargo loose in the hope of freeing
her.
The coast guards could not get
boat out to the stranded vessel so
Surfman Littlefeld was sent out ia
The buoy.
