london. May 12th.-The National Uni
on Of RaiIWaymen today stepped lively
into the fight in support of the striking
miners, taking measures designed to
prevent the transportation by rail Of
coal imported 10 replenish the nations
fuel supplies. The r~aiIwaymen's action
took the form OF a decision by the exec
utiva committee of the union, that it's
members would not handle coal, no mat
ter for what purpose it was intended. The
committee instructed the members of
the union not to handle coal of any de-
scription, loaded or previously handled
by blackieg labour.
London, May 18th. T re e%xecutiveg of
the Association of the Locomotive en-
gineers and Firemen. Of which Mr..
Bramley is president, has sent word to
its branches that they are not to move
bIackIeg coal, and in case there are any
disniSSalS as a result the union will use
its strength to prevent .victimizatiOn.
The Westminster Gazette last night
said, We would very strongly advise
the labour leaders to look before they
leap. BY no means was every employer
rejoiced when the triple alliance strike
would r ad between the lines of the
Governments press. they would not
find any great Discrimination to face an
attempt at such a strike now. Labour
is reaching the most serious danger of
playing straight into the hands of its
most skilfuI strategic enemies. The
Govt. does not expect a widespread rail
way strike, but is quite prepared for
coal stoppages Of the lighting order.

London, May 18th. Mr.. Lloyd George
IN a dramatic speech in the House of
Commons today, concerning the Upper
Silesian imbroglio, characterized the ac-
ton OF the Polish insurrection as a COM
plete defiance of the Treaty Of Vers lilies.
Il think it is right that | should speak
quite plainly. the Premier said, be
cause if these things can happen an we
take no notice and do not deal with them
with that stern justice, which has char
acterized the attitude of this country in
all its dealings abroad it is going to be
fatal to the peace of Europe. If that is
disturbed, | do not see what is going to
happen to Europe. | am alarmed. Z | am
frightened, that unless some confidence
is restored to the world the consequences
may be of the most terrible character
because the whole industrial vOrld is
so built upon credit and confidence,
that once that is shaken, | do not
see how it can be rebuilt. 1t there
fore is essential in the interest
Of the %snation, that whatever our
prejudices, whether we like this man
or dislike the other, we should recOg-
nize that justice has nothing to do with
likes and hat we must decide fairly
and sternly, according to the pact we
ourselves have signed" Mr.. Lloyd
George declared the treaty of Versailles
was the charter of Polish freedom and
that she was the last country of Europe
who had the right to complain about the
treaty. Mr.. Lloyd George pleaded for
the upholding of the treaty both for the
sake of the honour and for safety
and security. There were two ways of
dealing with the Silesian situation, he
declared. One was that allied troops
insist on restoring order. 1t was not
for him to express a military opinion he
did net insist on this part of the
programme, but he was entitled to insist
on ar alternative. Either the Allies ought
to insist on the treaty being respect
ed, or they ought to allow the Germans
to do so. The Premier concluded with
reference to Russia, which he said now
was broken, but would be a powerful, dom
inant country and would have a word to
say in the future of the world. None
knew, he said, what Russia's views
would be, or whom she would side. Those
wishing to destroy the Treaty OF Versailles.
he declared, should think of the response
bilities of the rest of Central Europe.

PRAYER FOR THE Papers.

In announcing the annual Week or Prayer from
Jan 10 Jan. 7, the ministers in charge have ar
ranged that day there shall be a special
prayer that tho press OF the world may be used 10
establish truth and Justice"
The Week Of Prayer is one OF the mighty forces
in the world and its effect may not be doubted
It is not necessary. to have firm faith that
prayers answered by that omnipotent force
which rules the destnies OF the universe to believe
in the potency OF prayer.
The most hardened OF agnosties must be forced
TO admit that the attitude OF prayer gives TO the
human mind such impetus to good. such courage to
meet the problems OF life such receptivity 10 the
kndlier sentiments to make It OF deep and last
ing effect
This special prayer for the PRESS of the world
does the very interesting question as to what
part the is playing establish truth and JUS
time.
The answer OF the papers. most obviously, Is that
the press is the strongest bulwark OF these inau-
in the world. bravest 20 expose falsshood and
injustice most ready to battle for the ideals Of
truth all times.
They may point If they wish 10 the fact that COM
mercial considerations IL no higher motive. would
prompt such a policy.
The newspapers which continue are those which
meet the demands of their readers. Those who try
to lull their patrons into a false world Of dreams
shackle them the wheels of tyranny, PASS into
oblivion with all false prophets
In that prayer for a more effective press Of the
world let the supplcaton be that the great body Of
mankind have greater thirst for truth and
a deeper passion for Justice
Let the prayer be that the great heart of the
world may yearn, as never before for freedom from
false ideas. false ideals false standards.
Let the prayer be that the mind OF the world
may be quickened to detect injustice, oppression
and ty' ny.
New apers not only direct but reflect the public
mind. Perhaps this week OF prayer and its special
supplcation for the press may lift the thought Of
the world to new levels

President Calvin Coolidge praised
the spirit of loyalty to truth, in an
address here today in connection
with the celebration of the 18th an
niversary of the Incorporation of
Cambridge a city. He dwelt upon
the important part which tthe com
munfty had played in New England
| history from the earliest colonial
days and upon its educational and
said:
Cambridge has become more than
city. AS the college became uni
versity, the town became a metro
polls. The pursuit of learning pre-
dominates, but the multitude of
worthy actions which support mod
ern civilization are all represented
here.
The ancient spirit lives. That
same loyalty to the truth which sent
the Puritan into the wilderness, sup
ported the revolution and destroyed
slavery, cmptied alike her houses of
industry and the halls of learning in
the last great conflict between free
dom and despotism.
They desired the truth. In what
other words could we better tell the
story of Columbus and his mariners,
what more accurately describes the
Puritans, what prouder designation
could be borne by Americans? True
discoveries have been coming all the
\ time since 1892, true Puritans all the
I time since 1880
Cambridge is not mere place
and a name. it is an ideal. Column
| bus did not discover It. The Puritan
did not found it. None can exclu-
sively appropriate it. 1t has been
| from everlasting to everlasting.
The city of Cambridge means that
the people within her borders have
lived by it. They have followed the
truth. That is science. That is art.
! That is learning. That alone is
civilization"
