London, April 9.-The railwaymen and transport workers have decided to strike in sympathy with the miners failing the reOpening of negotiations for a settlement of the coal strike.
 King George has called the army re- serves and volunteers to active sery- ice in the threatened industrial revOlu- tion. The kings action was caused by the refusal of striking coal miners to renew negotiations with mine owners, and the decision of the triple alliance for a general strike.
 Under the emergency act now in eff feet all military forces can be used in the distribution and guarding and production of food and the keeping of the peace.
 A general strike would call out 100000 workers.
 The kings message was read in commons by Premier Lloyd George
 It stated the existence of national emergency, called reserves into service and called for volunteers.
 The premier stated that enrolment of volunteers will begin at once. The territorial forces (militia) will not be included in the reserves, he said, but members and men were urged to en- list.
 For the first time in the history of the nation," Lloyd George declared, cit is confronted by an attempt to coerce it into equalization by the destruction of it's resources"
 Protection must be provided for the vital assets of tEe community and na ton, he declared.
 Lloyd George urged that volunteers offer their services to supplant rail- way strikers in essential services. He also asked that they support the po- lice forces in their work.
 British miners practically refused" Premier Lloyd Georges request that they renew negotiations with mine owners, the board of trade announced.
 There was no slackening in prepara- tions to have the nation ready to with stand a prolonged industrial paralysis.
 The governments great air forces were to be turned over to food con- trollers to deliver necessaries from country to city. and even from the con tinent Aircraft of all kinds was to be devoted to the work.
 The delivery system will be supple mented by motor lorries and by what trains volunteers can run. The emer- gency act which has been invoked pro vides for food rationing.

 WONDERFUL STATEMENT
Declares Tanlac Enabled Him to Eat Better, Sleep Better and Work Bet ter. - Has Gained Thirty Pounds.

consider Tanlac the grandest medicine in the world, for I have actually gained 30 pounds in weight since ] began taking it. It has just simply filled me with new life and energy and for the first time in years l can sit down to the table and en- joy three square meals a day like other people. In fact, Tanlac has made me eat better, feel better, sleep better and work better, and I guess that's all a man can expect of a medicine.
 Before I took Tanlac, I was off % pounds in weight and was so badly run down l was hardly able to do my work. Nothing seemed to agree with me and my food invariably soured on my stomach. would always have an uncomfortable bloated up feeling in my stomach, and although I tried many kinds of medicines, l never got relief until I took Tanlac.
 q also suffered considerably at times from Rheumatism, but this has all disappeared. In fact, this wonder full medicine has made a new man out of me in every way. I feel years younger and can do as much work as in any day of my life.
 "Of course, I am only too glad to give you my testimonial because I want other people who are suffering as did to take this medicine and get relief"
