A little home that is laughter filled
And smiles where the children wait.
These are the things 1 would rather own

And the love of my own home town
For nothing on earth is greater than

The fair esteem of your fellow man
And the love of your native land.

Of ne gre0Jesr laO0ur struggle ia the
c0unjry's history. Approximately 1000
900 workers then will nave ceased their
duties in protest against what they con-
slider 10 be all organized attempt on
the part of the employers, to enforce a
general reduction in wages. This is the
central fact Of the labOur situation as
ii developed today in a breakdown in
the miners conference and a consequent
decision by the triple alliance, made
up of miners and railway and transport
workers for the first time since it was
O~rganized,e that its entire membership,
roughly estimated at 1000, 900 miners
and 500, 900 men each from the railway
and transport workers organization,
should quiz work in support of the
strike of he miners. The Govt. stand
point. as voiced by Mr., Lloyd. George
in a brief speech in the House Of Com
mons this afternoon, is that the action of
the miners and other members Of The
triple alliance is an attempt by direc-
zion action to imtimidate parliament
and the ration. The Prime Minis
ter announced the military and other
measures which the Govt. intended to
TO take 10 defeat this attempt. The
standp) int Of the Miners is that the
sudden removal Of control of the coal
mines is the result of a pact be

The arguments Ut the miners find abSO-
Iutely no support, except on the part of
the extreme socialist newspapers. Phe
other paper condemn them strongly,
and general regret is expressed that
the miners refused to listen to the
advice of men like Mr.. AsQuith, Mr..
CIvnes, and MFR. Henderson. In this
connection, Mr.. Clyues who is chair
man OF the parliamentary labour
party, made ar interesting statement
on the Adjournment of the House
of Commons this afternoon. When eX-
pressing regret over the decision of
the miners, he said he actually regret
ted that Mr.. Lloyd George thought it
proper to make imputations against
the motives Of tie leaders Of the miners.
He proceeded to say, that the actual
damage done to the mines up to the
present time had been so small, that
it lid not justify this fact being made
the cause for interfering with the nego-
tiations which might lead to a settle
ment Of disputes. Mr.. Clynes concluded
by declaring that the cost to the coun-
try through the strike would be fa1
greater than would have been the cause
if the Govt. continued to control the
mines d little while longer until the wage
question was settled. The mine-owners
issued tonight a statement in which
they attempt tt refute the opinion of
Mr.. Clynes that the actual damage done
to the mines up to the present had
been small. the statement points out
that the majority of the flooded pits
can be reopened. the operation would be
costly, and that only a small fraction of
the regular men employed can be set
to work during restoration. Details are
