London, May 3. R)-Prem:er Baldwin told house of commons continuance of the government sub sidy Co the coal industry was entire- ly out of the question. In defence of his policy he declared that labor leaders ordering strike was a threat the basis of which the government came nearer proclaiming civil war than it did in Great Britain for cen turtles.
 Said governments single aim had been to obtain assent from both parties for the creation of royal commission with the view of plac- ing the coal industry on self sup porting basis. He said further talk ing would he in vain unless the government got immediate, uncon- ditional withdrawal instructions for general strike. and said he had be- come convinced to night that A Pugh chairman of the trades union congress and his colleagues no long CT control the situation within theii own ranks.

 The signal corps however did re- ceive news that Amundsen expected to leave Spitzbergen yesterday. and an operator listened all night for radio communication, with the diri- gible. but nothing was heard
 The Publisher of the Nugget has wired for full particulars concern- ing the flight which is expected to arrive by wire late tonight or early tomorrow morning. It would ap- pear from information received that the dirigible Norge is now prepared to fly from Oslo to Spitzbergen and was delayed in taking off on it's first leg of the journey by snow storm Whether the dirigible intends to re fuel at Spitzbergen is not known. As approximate distance from Oslo to Nome Is 2S15 miles 1t would be un- necessary to refuel enroute, as the dirigible has travelling radius of 5000 miles.

GREAT BRITAIN

 INDUSTRIAL STRUGGLE

London, May 1. P)-On the ex- piration of the government subsidy which guaranteed the operation of Britain's Coal Mines for the past eight months all coal miners laid down their tools. The subsidy ex- pired at twelve last night and promptly two hundred and three Unions with a membership of five million. and enormous financial re- sources decided tu back the miners by general strike if q satisfactory settlement with the mine owners Is not reached by next Tuesday. The government fully aware of the tra- eic seriousness engendered by such m economic condition proclaimed emergency measures. which means almost unlimited power given to the authorities in the protecting of the public from curtailment of the vital necessities of life. In anticipation of any rioting that might develop and for the protection of life and property the government moved troops into several mine areas in south Wales, Lancashire and Scot
 land the war office stated the move as purely precautionary measure" |"

London. May ?. (R)-British pub lie seemed in no mood to meet the calamity half way, to an observer the tranquil demeanor of the Ordi- nary citizen would lead nobody to suppose that he is faced by complete tie mp almost whole of the country's great industries.
 Here in London there appears a strange nonchallance concerning overshadowing events, nobody seems to think of the possibility of food shortage, nor is there a sign any where of laying in food. fuel, or other necessities of life, all normal activities continue undisturbed Lon don citizens went about on pleasure not even eager to talk about the i'm pending strike. In most of the ser mons preached in the churches to- day preachers dwelt on the ap preaching strike appealing for calm ness, fairplay. and sacrifice for the common good.
