Delta is something like $2,S00 900. On
this basis the proposed improvement

10000 MI N E R S
STRIKE IN GLACE
BAY, NOVA SCOTIA
Walkout After Failure
of Negotiations

GLACE BAY, N. S.-Twelve thou
sand coal miners are on strike in
| district following the failure Of ne
gotiations for a renewal of the con-
tract with the mining companies
which expired Jan. 18th.
Nine thousand miners are directly
involved in the controversy and 5000
are striking in sympathy with them.
Negotiations had been in progress
over a period of weeks with no re-
suit and with the expiration of the
contract the strike was automatically
called.
The miners are anxiously awaiting
word from the headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America
concerning the attitude of Interna-
tionaI President John L. Lewis, to-
wards the critical situation. It was
in this district that James McLachlan,
local leader Of the miners, was re-
moved from Office by Lewis follow
ing the calling of a strike in protest
against the use Of troops by the Ca
madam government in behalf Of the
British Empire Steel Company and
against striking steel workers.
McLachan was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary on framed
up charge for his activities in this
strike and the district is being adj
ministered by a provisional official
dom installed by Lewis.

Gently polled an overwhelming ma
jority on a vote of "no confidence"

CAMP AIGN TIP S
FINNISH CABINET
Kallio Clique Resigns;
New Elections Called

HELSINGFORS, Finland. - The
continued Imprisonment of commun-
list members Of the riksdag is the real
cause of the resignation Of the Kallio
cabinet today.
Trouble has been brewing since
last summer, when in an announced
campaign against the communists,
wholesale arrests Of members Of the
Finnish Communist Party were
staged. According to the Finnish
constitution there must be 200 MEM
bers of the riksdag present to hold a
session and with the imprisonment OF
the communist members compliance
with this provision was impossible.
The socialist embers of the riks-
dag, desiring an early election, made
the communist prisoners political
issue, threatened strike unless their
wishes were complied with and the
dissolution of the riksdag by Presi-
dent Stahlberg followed.
A great increase of Communist
strength in the coming election and
the increase Of the representation OF
the anti-bourgeois parties in the new
riksdag is the prediction of political
observers.

Republican chiefs plan to accept
