COAL SHORTAGE
Is Being FELT
Appearance of ,Wintry Weather
Adds Discomforts in
Great Britain.
by The Associated Press.)

LONDON. April 17-Sunday brought
additional discomfort from the coal
strike to the people of Great Britain
as the need for the already closely
helds fuel was increased by the ap-
pearance of wintry weather through
out the United Kingdom with a con-
siderable fall in some sections
The action of the house of COM
mons last Thursday night in virtually
taking the affair out of. the hands of
the government was widely comment
ed upon as bringing in a new phase of
public affairs not altogether to the
taste of government departments but
likely 10 help toward n more speedy
settlement.
The bad weather and the collapse
Of the threatened railroad and trans
port strikes has had the effect of re-
tarding the recruiting of the volunteer
forces in London, fewer citizens offer
ing themselves for enlistment.
1t was officially intimated today
that Mr.. Lloyd George and the other
cabinet ministers are stin anxious to
negotiate for a permanent settlement
of the wages question. This desire IS
in line with the anxiety of the mine
owners to come to terms with the men
and avoid a prolonged struggle which
would lose the world markets for their
product.
The strike has been in progress a
fortnight and is certain to continue A.
least another week by which time the
available stocks Of coal will be greatly
depleted. The mines department OF
the board or trade is already puzzled
by the problem of eking out the avail
able supplies and it is understood to
be considering still further drastic ra-
tioning.
The train service will be additional
ly curtailed during the coming week
in line with this policy. The admir-
