DRASTIC STEPS To

Lcna2n, April 5.-The Government
i takin. upon itself drastic powers
TO deal with the coal crisis and IT,,
even more serious situation that ".
arise if the transport workers and ra.
road men strike with the miners, =,
they are threatening.
Emergency regulations issued las;
night will enaole the authorities :;
take possession Of or control all mines
coal stores, land, buildings, trans.
port facilities and equipment, Egh:,
inc plants. railways. tramwayS. Wa.
terways. shipping, docks, gas wosk-
and pcw"- stations.
This measure is part Of q plan 70!
insuring adequate food supplies AM
the maintenance Of gas works, paWe!
stations and other essential induSt-
ries
The first Of the critical Triple Ali.
ance tminers, transport workers and
railroad mem conferences will open to
morrow with meeting Of the TraGs-
port Workers Federation, wha$@
branches last night decided 10 supper
the miners.
The formal decision on the question
of joining the strikers will be taken
Wednesday, and there seems lit.lt
doubt that the decision will he favor
aole to this course. The railway men
are knuwn to favor this as a means
of preventing wage reductions in a.
other industries.
AS result of this attitude the sit
uation is undoubtedly of the most cri-
tical character, not only for industry
but fer the safety of public order. No
move has as yet been made by either
side toward peace.
The coal owners, o~cked by big M
dustr:al organizations, say they have
advised Premier Lloyd George tlas
they are prepared to fight it out now.
as they cannct carry on any longer
under the unsettled conditions which
have been created by the Triple A.

Paris, April 5.-Allied representa-.
tives at Budapest informed Regefi;
Horthy today that the big powers
would not De responsible for the even
Qualities if Karl persists in Remaining
in Hungary. This means the hit:le
Entente is given permission TO invade
Hungary and eject the Hapshnr-
forcibly.
AS result Of Karl'S failure TO &C.
part the Little Entente sent an ut:i,
matum to Hungary this morning al
nouncing that it would begin military
operations to force the Hapsburg ont
Of the country unless he leaves ~.
unfairly by Thursday.
General Leiiar is holding the form
er Emperor prisoner at Steinam:n.
ger and refuses to permit him to nnit
Hungary, according to report re-
ceived in French official circles.
The information, which came via
Vienna, states that Lchar realizes he
IS finished when Karl leaves the
country, especially since Regent Hors-
by replaced him as military governor
# West Hungary, and he is therefore
des;rous of holding the Hapsburg as
long as possible. He is hopeful thai
the Allies will take no action if Kari
remains quiet and that another az
tempt at restoration later MAY s'"-
ceed.
"Karl has no intention Of leaving
Hungary. said Lehar to the Vienna
Neupress correspondent. why should
he? The troops have declared them
selves in MS favor and an immense
majority of the population have an
nounced their fidelity to his cause. if
ne gives up it will only be through
the Allies force.
Budapest, April 5.-The Govern
ment is charged with being irresolute
IN the punishment of persons OF pro-
Karl tendencies. Bishops, politicians
ani officers who were arrested have
been released from prison. Some Of
the law experts declare that they
could not be punished under the Grim
iral code because Karl really holds tae
title of King in Hungary. In fact,
they say anyone interfering with the
Kings prerogatives might be held
guilty of treason.
Karl has paid visit to Prince
Batthyany at Kormend, 10 miles south
of Steinamanger.
Budapest physicians say the former
King is suffering from mild bron-
ehitis. as well as being fat;gued. and
that he is not in condition to make
q long journey. They add. however.
that it is not necessary for him to re-
main in bed.
Karl is being treated with greas re
spect at Steinamanger. His guard hi:'
been gradually transformed into 4
court. He is granting audiences arl
has staff Of court officials.
London, April 5.-A Reuter- dis

peror will leave Steinamanger for
