Missing Negro Preacher
Reported Located

It has been reported this week that
the Rev. ]. H. Fitchett, who disap-
peared recently from his church and
family, has been located at Berkeley,
a small town on the outskirts of Nor
folk.
It is said this was limited by his
brother, who has made a trip here,
and who claims that the pastor is still
in the land of the living. These re-
ports have not been verified, so the
Democrat can not vouch for their ac-
curacy. ~.

strike effective at midnight tonight.
Approximately 100000 workers

JOHN BULL
IS FACING
ZERO HOUR
Industrial Revolution Looms
With Strike To-
night.
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS
Tfmc8 Stnff CorrespOndent


WASHINGTON, May AT the
height Of the German offensive in
1918 Sir Douglas Haig told the
world that Great Britain stood with
her back to the wall.
Today Britain stands again with
her back to the wall, facing the
most appalling situation the coun-
try has seen since the blackest days
Of the world war.
More than q million coal miners
are already on strike, and unless
Premier Stanley Baldwin can make
peace between mine owners and
miners before Big Ben tolls the hour
Of midnight Monday, a general strike
| Involving five million more workers
is declared inevitable.
After that anything can happen
from a disastrous industrial revo-
| luton to the real thing.
How 1t Started
The crisis dates back to last sum
mer. Mine owners claimed they
were losing money, and a reduction
Of wages and increased hours of
work We're necessary If the industry
was to survive. The miners. on
their side, declared any change
would be met by a general strike as
all British labor stood pledged to
join hands with them.
At the eleventh hour, Premier
Baldwin brought peace for nine
months by maintaining the same
/ wages and hours for that period OF
time and suhsidizing the owners to
| compensate their losses. The truce
ended Friday. A government com
mission, appointed to find a solution
made certain recommendations, in
Guiding restricted government own
crship and regulation Of mines, but
/ the recommendation pleased neither
miners nor owners, and Saturday
the miners walked out.
The Trades Unions Congress
representing five million British
workers, voted to stand by the
miners. Thus, unless an agreement
Is reached by Monday midnight,
when labor's ultimatum expires, the
strike viii generalze and railway
men, lockers, transportation work
ers and others will walk out and not
wheel in all Britain viii turn save
to revictual the population.
Ilaunting SwoTd
J. IT. Thomas, labor official, says
he mas never seen the country faced
with such a situation. Former Pre-
mier Ramsay Macdonald says the
/ government is Haunting it's sword in
the face Of the people. King George
has declared a state OF emergency
virtually putting Britain under mar
tlal law and troops have been posted
at strategic points.
Labor leaders charge that
Britains industrial magnates are de
liberately seeking war to beat dowr
wages generally. On their part
they say that they will fight to the
last ditch, preferring 10 go down
trying to obtain living wage rather
than starve working for too little
to keep them alive.
There has been unrest in Britain
ever since the war, due largely to
the presence of an army Of unem-
ployed varying in size from a mil
/ lion to over two million. An indus
trial revolution against such a back
ground as this is an omen powder-keg
| for a spark.
