ers became effective throughout the
country.
This widespread demonstration will,
unless speedily terminated, cause un-
told suffering, with the loss of mil
lions in money.
The last hours before tn general
strike call went forth were anxious
ones Thousands of citizens assembled
in Parliament Square and the adjoin-
ing streets, while within, the house
ministers of the crown and former
ministers representing labor, battled
in support Of their respective con-
tentfons.
Premier Baldwin criticized the
labor leaders. on the ground that, in
ordering the general strike, they were
threatening the basis of orderly gov
ernment and were nearer to proclaim
ing civil war than Great Britain had
been for centuries.
Ramsay Mcdonald, the labor leader,
said the country faced a situation,
whose end and evolution not even
the keenest observer sould visualize.
ParIiament's Crisis,
winston Churchill, chancellor of
the exchequer, asserted that if this
conflict were fought out to its con-
clusion, it could only mean the end
of parliamentary government or it's
decisive victory.
From a kind of apathy the people
of Great Britain and of London the
central point of the struggle turned
to anxious speculation as it became
apparent that the negotiations for
settleme ent were to fail, for even the
lowliest citizen realized what a wide
spread strike of this kind meant, with
stoppage of railway and transport
services, the cessation of all building
operations, the possible suspension of
shipping, breakdown in the distri-
button of food supplies, the rationing
of fuel and light, suspension Of the
newspapers and interference with all
business.
Troops Ordered ont.
Troops already nave peen sent 10

are most to be feared, but it is the
expressed intention of both authori-
ties and the labor leaders to do not
ing Of provocative nature The
men necessary to Keep the mines
from flooding will be held at their
posts. The railway managers will
run skeleton services, and the trans
Atlantic steamship companies have
promised to maintain their sailings
if that can possibly be done.
The labor men have agreed also to
aid in bringing food supplies to the
people, having emphasized that their
fight is not against the people, but
against the attitude of the govern
ment.

WASHINGTON May 3.--Sitting as.
a high court of impeachment for the
tenth time in history the senate was
asked today by Federal Judge George
w. English of the eastern Illinois
district, to dismiss the charges OF
usurpation of power and other high
misdemeanors" in office brought
against him by the house.
The judge appeared at the bar OF
the senate in person and through
counsel He entered general denials
of the allegations set forth in the
five articles of impeachment ap-
proved by the house, and contended
that even if they were true they did
not constitute impeachable offenses.
Flatly denying that he had com
mitted any act as judge for the bene-
fit of his friends, members of his
family or any one else, Judge English
declared that at all times he dis
charged his duties honestly, consc1-
entiously and without partiality and
according to law, and to the best Of
his ability"
After the 56-page reply of the
judge to the charges had been read
the senate adopted an order giving
the house two days in which to adopt
