LLOYD GEORGE
DESTROYS OF REST
Within 48 Hours the World Will Know
Definitely Whether He Will
Stay as Premier.

London, March 6 tBy the Associated
Press Within "a, or at most As
hours, the world will know definitely
whether Prime Minister Lloyd George
has decided to resign or continue as
chief of the coalition government. This
is the only substantial conviction
emerging from a tangle Of contradic-
tory rumors in the crisis which en-
crossed political observers over Satur-
day and Sunday.
Experts this morning were diametri
cally opposed in their opinion as to
how the crisis stood as a result of
weekend conferences.
Even if the minister stays, nobody
believes that the coalition can last
much longer though it may be pro-
longed until Irish legislation and the
Genoa conference are out of the way.
Friends of Mr.. Lloyd George assert
he is exceedingly tired and viii gladly
quit responsibilities of his office.
Whether he goes or stays, he has de-
cided to take an immediate holiday,
which he win probably enjoy at his
country home in Criccieth, Wales.

numbers Of pickets at the gates OF the
mills and factories. Rumors had been
circulated to the effect that the mill
owners would attempt to open the

mill, the rumor proved gNundless. The
Tamaraek mill is controlled by the
Jenckes company and had been practi-
cally closed. This morning it was
claimed that additional workers report
ed and that most of the departments
were started up.
Early this morning about 40 men

were strike breakers and that they
were bound for the Dunnell branch OF
the United States Finishing company's
plant They went into local garage
which was quickly picketed by the
strikers and for over an hour they
remained there. Word was sent to
the police station and three officers
put in an appearance. Then the sup
posed strike breakers got into an auto
truck and we're taken to the Dunnell |
plant The strikers claim they in
luced additional workers at this plant
10 join their ranks.
IN London, Ashton and Berkeley, |
where the strike started, the mills were
heavily picketed but no attempt was
made to resume business.
Labor leaders claimed that about |
30 more employees of the Jencks Spin
ming company joined their ranks to-

November they moved to the village,
giving up the farm on account OF his
health and purchasing home on
School street. To this union was born
two sons, one who died in infancy, and
Edward NJ Holton, who survives his
father. Aside from his wife, the de-
ceased is survived by the one son, a
grandson and granddaughter, and two
sisters, Miss Clara Holton Of Mont
pelier and Mrs. Harriet Knapp Of st.

Mr.. Holton held many OF the town
offices in years past and always kept
