OMAHA, April 2.--Four express car
loads of anti-tobacco campaign litera-
ture en- route from New York to Cali
fornia passed through Omaha yester-
day on the Union Pacific transcontinen-
tai fast mail. On the passenger train
following the fast mail was a special
Pullman filled with men and women
from New York, en- route to the Pacific
Coast to work in the campaign. One Of
the members of the delegation of work
ers said that fifty carloads of anti-to
baccd literature has been sent out for
distribution throughout the United
States
The literature deals with the alleged
physical and economic evils of all
forms of tobacco. and urges the passage
of laws in every state to make the
growth, sale and use of tobacco peni-
Tertiary otfense.
An effort will be made in the near
future, one of the men on the special
car said, to ask all religious denomina-
tons to unite with the campaigners in
raising funds to promote q movement
TO amend the Constitution to prohibit
the production, manufacture, sale and
use of tobacco in the United States and
territories

British Strike to End
Soon, u. S. AttacI.e SAYS
London Representative Gables
Commerce Department Funds
Of Unions Are Not LARGE

IRON 7hs Trfbune's Washington Bilrcd*
WASHINGTON, April 2.--Otficial ad-
vices received to-day at the Depart
ment Of Commerce from London indi-
cate that the general strike of Englis h
coal miners will pc short lived. The
principal factor influencing the situa-
ton is declared to be an acute lack Of
funds by the miners organization With
which to carry on their fight. Public
opinion, too, is strongly against their
astlon. according to the brief cable re-
cadved here.
Yhc announcement is declared to be
of vital interest to Anne rican coal pro-
duoers with whom negotiations arc I'M
der way to take over the European de-
livery contracts of the British export
ers. The statement said:
Commercial Attache Dennis, of Lon
don, cables under date of April 1 that
the coal production ceases with the
general miners strike, effective on the
above date, and that coal exports are
prohibited except under special Ii
censes.
ut is stated that certain exporters
are reported as negotiating for Ameri-
can coal to fill contracts in the Con
tinental markets. The best opinion,
however, views this situation as of
short Duration, as the funds of the
federation are low and the action of
the miners is not supported by public
opinion"

Britain Acts
To Fight Big
Triple Strike

by premature removal of control over
the industry.
The Chancellor ignores this point
and bases his statement upon the i'm
possibility Of asking taxpayers to
shoulder further burdens in order to
subsidize the coal industry, or by sub
uniting to intimidation aimed at fore
ing the government to agree to such
subsidy.
Alfred Bigiand, Coalition Unionist
Tor Birkenhead, who was a member Of
the grand committee of the House Of
Commons on the "decontrol" bill.
makes the suggestion that the right So
litlon for the dispute is to rescind this
bill and make The sine limit for con-
troll May 30, instead of March 81. He
lrfers that the committee agreed to
the earlier date because the govern
rcnt seemed persuaded that the mine
owners would suggest sca}e Of wages
acceptable to the miners. He admits
that postponement of the decontrol
measure would cost the country f1O,-
100000, but considers this necessary in
oider to give more ample time for dis
cussion and arrangement of the wages
question and the education of the min
ers to the real industrial position at
home and abroad.
This suggestion from a Unionist
who is free from suspicion of undue
sympathy with the miners, is regarded
as significant.
Pump Workers Threatened
The first case Of intimidation in con-
nection with the miners strike was re-
ported to-day from South Wales
district.
The miners at Rhymney, after a pro-
longcd meeting, PROCEEDED to Pontlottyn
and told the officials who were working
the pumps and doing other mainte-
nance work that unless they ceased
this they would be forced to do so.
The management thereupon ordered
the mine ponies brought to the surface.
At mass meeting of the miners at
Meath it was complained that non
unlonists were working in certain
coliery and it WAS decided to hold
demonstrations at the collery Monday
to make the men cease work.
