BRITAIN ACCEPTS
 WAR WITH UNIONS
1000, ,000 Workers Menace the Eafety of the Empire-Pre- nier in Speech ArOuses Com mons to the Crisis.

London, April 8-The strike of the triple alliance will begin at mid night Tuesday.
 "This is our answer to the govern ment measures" said J. H. Thomas leader of the railroad men, who, with the transport workers and the miners. form the alliance which controls g. 000,000 workers in the three organi- zations. stI
 Confronted by this strike order, Great Britain today began to strip for action in the greatest domestic fight of modern times.
 Following the second failure of the government to reopen the mine nego- tiations, and the triple alliance de- cision in favor of striking, Lloyd George went to the House of Com mons late today and read royal proclamation.
 The proclamation of King George l alls into existence the defense force," which will begin to be recruit ed on a 90-day basis tomorrow, to as- sist in insuring public safety.
 The proclamation also calls up the army, navy and air reserves. The territorial army will not be drafted in, but the government appeals to members to enroll in the defense force.
 The House of Commons was thrilled by the dramatic character of the an nouncement, and burst into loud and prolonged cheers when it was real ized that the premier had taken off his gloves and prepared to accept la bor's challenge for a straight out and out fight.
 Delivering his epoch-making an nouncement, the little Welshman" was grave. restrained and statesman like. his clear voice throbbing over the benches packed with spellbound members. Twice only did the solid nhalanx of coalitionists break into cheering during the premier's ad- dress.
 While Lloyd George was preparing the plans of the government to crush the strikers, the triple alliance was meeting at Unity House. For two and a half hours the executives of the miners, railroad and transport mer debated as to the date for calling out the railroad and transport workers. They finally decided to act Tuesday at midnight, unless the government in the meantime reopens negotiations with the miners"
