possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack Of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for trifle.

trial conflict in England for many
years.
The intention of the government to
issue an appeal for volunteers for the
transport and other essential services,
in view of tbs strike, was announced
in the house of commons by David
Lloyd George, the prime minister.
A royal proclamation would call up
the army and navy reserves, he said.
Fhe government also intends to en-
rall special constables and form a spe-
cfaI emergency force for period of
ninety days to aid the police in the
execution of their duty.
After reeounting the days events
from which he drew the conclusion the
Miners Federation is determined to
allow the mines to go to destruction
in the belief by sdch action it will be
able to intimieate the nation into sur
render. Mr.. Lloyd George declared it
was the duty of /, the government, as
the trustees of the. nation, to prevent
this catastrophe.
He then announced the measures to
be taken and read the kings emer-
gency proclamation.
]. Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader, moved the KINGS message
be taken under consideration Monday.
Amid cries of to-day" the motion was
agreed to and the house adjourned
The decision by the prime minister,
at the suggestion of the more moder-
ate labor interests to invite the min
ers and owners to conference, at
which the first subject for discussion
would be the resumption of pumping
to clear the mines of water, led the
public to believe a settlement was in
sight and the impending strike, prom

of the country, would be averted
The miners proved adamant, insist
ing there should be no restriction re
garding the questions to be discussed
by the conferees. An exchange of let
tiers between them and Mr.. Lloyd
George failed to change their minds.
Thus it came to be known that
a deadlock had been reached and
apparently nothing short of a back

the industrial upheaval.
