London.-The great industrial crisis
with which Great Britain was faced
this morning as result of the bitter
wage war between the mine owners and
the miners with strikes by the railway
workers and the transport workers, in
addition to the miners strike, threat
ening the public, has found at least
temporary relief. At the eleventh hour
Premier Lloyd George interviewed with
an invitation to both sides Of the min
ing dispute to meet representatives of
the government and reopen negotia-
tions. After serious deliberation the
contending forces decided to accept the
mediation offer. No time has been set
for the re-opening of the discussions,
but the acceptance of the premier's in
vitation, it is pointed out, can be taken
only to mean that the colleagues of the
miners in the triple alliance the rail-
road men and the transport workers
will take no active measures to sup
port the miners while the peace nego-
tiations are proceeding. The national
transport workers which voted today
to extend\aid to the British miners in
their strike, comprises, 35 affiliated
unions with an aggregate membership
of about 100000. A strike would call
out all the employees and classes of
workers engaged in transportation by
roads, rail or sea.

and he was receiving the congratula-
tions of his friends and fellow mem
bers of the bar.

OUTLINES PLAN
FOR NEW BODY
Expert Explains Project
for Organization of
Civic Club.
TO CONSIDER FURTHER

A movement for the organization
of new civic association Of business
men of Kenosha to aid in the solving
of civic, industrial and business prob
lens facing the city, was started at a
meeting of dozen business men held
in the private dining room at the Elks
club today. The meeting was called by
Edward Dayton, who presented to the
gatherding G. A. Mack, a representa-
tive of the American City Bureau, an
organization which has built civic asso-
Citations in more than two hundred
cities in the United States and Canada.
After the plan Of the speaker had
been presented a committee composed
of Edward Dayton, Charles Pfennig
and Gerald G. Cooper was named to
meet with representatives of the vari-
Gus semi-civic organizations of Keno
sha in order to consider the plan more
thoroughly and, if favorable action is
taken, to take the first steps towards
the organization Of new organization
to direct civic efforts in Kenosha
Brings Much Experience.
Mr.. Mack explained that the CO.
operation of the American City Bureau
would bring to Kenosha the results of
experiences had by similar organiza-
tions in many cities and overcome in
every instance, through the plan of the
league. The plan, in brief, was for a
three or four weeks educational cam
paign, followed by the organization Of
the new civic association, which would
"have nothing too large to attempt
and nothing too small to ignore in
order to better the city"
The City Bureau agreed to guide the
destinies of the association for three
year term and pointed with pride to
its record of not having had single
failure among the associations which
it has organized. Concretely, it asked
that business men of the city agree to
sponsor the movement by furnishing
$1,000 for expense money and that the
City Bureau in turn would invest
more than $4,000 in the movement be-
fore it expected any returns.
Not Boom Campaign.
"Kenosha has unrivalled opporturli-
ties to build great city and it will
need such an organization to help it,"
said the speaker Remember, it is
not boon campaign but an associa-
tion built for permanent work"
The committee named is expected to
make thorough investigation and call
a meeting of all representatives of
various organizations to take final ac-
ton on the proposal.

an element of doubt, but on the face
of the returns Fred P. Moeller has de-
feated Alderman Charles nj. Anderson.
Alfred G. Grosvenor won the most
