CABINET CHANGE IN CRISIS
Industrial Tie-Up Comes a
Crucial Time.
Board of Trade Chief Who Con.
Quoted Negotiations Leaves.

London, March 31-Great Britain
was threatened with an industrial up
heaval today thru triple Alliance
strikes.
Miners were ordered to strike to-
night when government control of the
industry is ended and colliery owners
attempt to enforce a lower wage scale.
r. r. Workers May Follow.
Strike action by railway workers
and transportation workers was ex-
pected to follow that of the miners
BY cooperating in their demands they
have been able to enforce them in the
past.
Miners leaders were fearful that
without support of the other members
of the triple alliance they could not
win. The demand for coal is not
acute A transport and railway strike,
however. would tie up all industry.
Are Leaving the Pits.
An emergency meeting of transport
workers was called for Tuesday to
consider sympathetic strike. Rail-
way workers will meet Wednesday to
discuss action on threatened wage
cuts.
The coal miners began to leave the
pits in arious districts this afternoon
in line with the decision of the Union
executive committee to call a strike
at midnight tonight because of the
failure to settle the miners wage de-
mands. The board of trade officials
have decided that coal for export shall
be rationed rigidly.
Cabinet Changes In Crisis.
Sir Robert Horne. president of the
board of trade, today succeeded to
Austen Chamberlain's place in the
British cabinet as chancellor of the
exchequer. Horne is replaced in his
former position by Stanley Baldwin,
financial secretary of the treasury.
The important change in the cabi-
net was made at a crucial point in
wage negotiations with the mine
workers of Great Britain. Horne was
in direct charge of the conferences
which threatened to result in a strike
oy miners-possibly the most serious
labor trouble ever confronting the
empire.
May Ruin Mines.
The miners threatened not only to
cease work but to withdraw from the
mines the .safefr work - hose
duty It was to see that machinery
was kept in condition and the levels
free from water. ::
There was a possibility that some
or the mines never could be worked
again. The miners not only object to
the cut in wages but declare they
should be paid increases from gov
ernment funds Their leaders ad-
mitted the collieries could not operate
at a profit if wages advanced

HINTON AND KLOOR
HAD PLANNED TO
DISARM FARRELL
Were TO Go Ahead for Aid But
Feared to Leave Knife
With Him.

Lieut.. Walter Hinton, testifying to-
day at the Naval Inquiry at Rock
away Point, described the disastrous
balloon flight that carried himself
and Lieuts. Kloor and Farrell into
he w1lds OF Northern Canada. He
declared that at one point in their
tedious struggle back to civilization
he suggested TO Lieut. Kloor that
they take away from Lieut. Farrell
a knife he was carrying, and leave
him while the other two pushed on
in the hope OF getting help. This,
however, was not done.
Lleut. Hinton made no mentions of
the fist fight in which Lieut.. Farrell
punched him on the jaw, but his
testimony contained the first admis-
sion that Lieut.. Farrell had become
exhausted during the hong march.
During the previous testimony of
Lieut. Hinton and Lieit. Kloor, men
tion of the condition OF Lieut.. Far
rcll had been studiouSy avoided.
I'VE retrained as much as possible
from drinking water" said Lieut..
Hinton, because it was so cold it
cut off our wind"
The second day OF our march Lieut.
Farrell was 80 tired we stopped, built
a fire and rested for an hour. Several
times after We resumed Lieut.. Farrell
dropped from exhaustion. Finally at
my request he took off his flying suit,
which was bearing him down. and !
carried it,
Lieut.. Hinton said Lieut. Farrell
gave him his money, $94 saying, "If
any of us gets out OF this it will be
you" He then recounted details OF
the rest of the trip until help was
reached.
There was tense interest manifest
ed when Hinton reached the subject
4 the attack made on him by Far
Tcll at Mattice after newspaper men
had told Farrell of HintOn's letter,
published in New York newspapers,
N which Hinton stated Farrell want
cd to kill himself and let the others
AXE his body for food.
Hinton said he went to Farren 70
communicate to him an order from
Secretary Daniels not to talk TO news
paper men. when l gave the orders
to Farrell be flew into rage" said
Hinton.
Admiral Klein remarked at this
point that ne did not know whether
this testimony was wanted.
Continuing, Hinton said: Farrell
made statements which / did not con
sider fair, due 'tO his OverwrOught
nerves and condition. | do not con

said or did"
Fifteen minutes later, he said al

BIG FIGHT JULY z
DECLARES RICHARD.
DENYING It IS OFF
Promoter Says Every Cent
Called for in Agreement Has
Been Posted in Bonds.
n. Y. WON'T GET BOUT.
Best Offers for Dempsey-Car-
pentier Contest Come From
Canada and England.

Tex Rickard, who with Charles b.
Cochran and William A. Brady will
promote the international fight be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter, to-
day denied the report that the big
fight was off.
YOU will hear all sorts Of reports
now" he said to a reporter for The
Evening World. "that there will be
no fight owing to the different State
boxing commissions throughout the
country enforcing a reduction Of the
admission to pugilistic events
That, however, will have no effect
on the heavyweight championship
I know of no other reason or the
source where these unauthentic re-
ports that read could have origl-
mated"
Every cent Of money called for IN
the articles OF agreement is posted in
surety bonds vic New York Bank
and the Paris office of ]. p. Morgan
& Co. also holds Carpenters forfeit
70 assure his carrying out the contract
The two other promoters and myself
have likewise posted sums to bind the
match"
1T is a safe prediction that the
fight will not be held in the State Of
New York.
The best offers we have had to date
have come from Canada. England has
also bid for the contest, but no definite
battle ground has been agreed upon
yet, nor will be for at least six weeks
IAN can say is that the fight Is
on and will be held somewhere the
afternoon Of July 2"
Jack kearns, manager OF Dempsey
in San Francisco. said he knew nothing
about the fight being called off and
declared it was just one OF those
rumors that originated from nothing
out uncOnfirmed gossip.
