100000 Workers
TO Join Them
Continued From Page /

Britain has been lullcd for a fort
night with the fallacions if com
forting philosophy that even Il mine
strike would be 50 disastrous that
surely something would be done to
avert it. Instead, the mine strike
began and now the full five million
trades union membership contem-
plates a sympathetic strike. The la
bor strategy is obvious. Labor has
chosen to make an issue of the mine
dispute wherein the owners position
admittedly is weakened by the fact
that almost incalculable sums have
been paid in royalties TO owners of
vast coal bearing areas while the
equipment in many mines has fallen
years behind modern standards.
100000 Insist
The trades uniOnists undoubtedly
hope that naturalization of British
mines, which unqucstionably are in
the worst prcdicamcnt of any basic
industry, will result from this tre-
mcndous laboritc effort to assist the
miners.
Baldwin with virtually dictorial
powers now is confronted with D.
100000 of his fellow citizens who
StubbornIy insist that the miners
must prevail.
Under the emergency powers act,
Baldwin could nationalize the mines
with the stroke of Il pen although
the naturalization would be sub
jcct to parliamentary approval at II
later date.
The emergency powers act stipu-
latcs that the proclamation making
it effective must forthwith be com
municatcd to parliament and that
the proclamation may not remain in
force more than one month without
renewal.
