CRITICAL DAYS FOR ENGLAND

Events today will determine
 whether England is to be thrown
 into the paralyzing vortex Of a
 general strike or whether reason is
 10 rule and the difficulties incident ] 10 an adjustment oc the coal min
 ing dispute brought to a saustac- tory conclusion.
 IT the general strike of 5.01Do00 men materializes tomorrow and continues for any length of time the loss will be incaIculabIe: it will be the next thing to a revolution. and in countries with a less stable government would equal this ca- lamity.
 The government sidestepped the issue months ago by paying over s1ooooooo0 to the coal mining in dustry in order 10 help pay it's wage bin. Now the government has discontinued sidestepping, and though 1t perhaps made a tochni- cal error in Insisting upon an agreement first and negotiations afterWard. it Is fully intent upon coming 10 grips with British labor if no other method can be found. The government will be confronted with extreme internal demoraIiza- ton but no one expects it not to muddle through somehow. The po- litcal consequences, of course. eventually may be grave to the Baldwin ministry; even Lloyd George has joined with the Labor party in tho strike effort in order 10 polish up, if possible, lis poIiti- cal future.
 The coal situation. which is at the bottom Of the trouble. suffers from production and obsolete methods. Great Britain mines 25o.- ooo,ooo tons of coal a year. uses l67,5oo.0o0 tons at home and eN- ports the emaindor-when it can. For several years it has been un- able 10 do so, and at home it's use also has Iessened. Water power. petroleum and low-temperature carhonization of coal and Ignite l. has been cutting into the usa oc i coal, especially the former Failing water is supplantnc more coal yearly in Britain and in inc nations which have been importing British coal The industry simply is facing inc necessity of vast curtailnent in . productions but as 1ooo.G0o men are employed in the industry th, result is of rar-roaching impor- iance The general strike. if it breaks tomorrow will furnish terrible industrial combat. but if . will mol solve the coal situation.

CO\NECIICJT'S RECORD IN AUTO ACCIDENTS

Conuoc'icut is supposed 10 have model automobile laws and rcgu- lmions; they are stringent and supposed 10 boop incompetent drivers of inc highways. Yet what ar" Inc results?
 Instead of decreasing the ratio Of accidental deaths in the sratn. tn" result has been a lamcnlabrc increase, and one of such propor- tons that it should attract atton- ton.
 That there is d defect in states methods can be iuda l inc official report made in I,art- ford that 3c.6 per cent Of all acci- dental deaths in the state last year were caused by motor vehicles. whereas the ratio for the United States as a whole was only 20.5 per cent.
 The ratio for ConuocGcut and the United States was even in 1911: bw sine" that year the Connecticut ratio has steadily increased over the other.
 It is with misgiyings that one con'enplatcs the comparison with motor vehicle deaths and those due 10 typhoid fever So recently as 1915 motor vehicle deaths and deaths from typhoid fever were even in inc state - but last year typhoid killed only 2,5 people per lo".ooo population, while motor vehicles killed g per Ioo.ooo popu- la'ion.

STAINS HURDLE FROM THE LEAGUE

Spain's formal resignation from the League of Nations is Primo de Rivero's current gesture for home consumption, an attempt to show the people that Spain Is too great and dignifled since he took hold of the government to permit any lin suits" from the Geneva body.
 But it will take more than such sleight of hand to convince every- body that the Spanish dictatorship is as wonderful a success in mak- ing first rate power of Spain as Premier De Rivero seems to have in mind.
 If the dictator, following his dis agreements with the king, and his troubles with the army, should some fine day discover himself on the outside looking In, or on the inside of jail looking out, the nation might make haste to roctify i this manifest blunder.

 UP IN MAINE

 Bot tho distinction has not been 0; great value within recent years as Maine has herself repeatedly shown that her political trend does not mean the remainder of the country has similar bent. For ad- vertising purposes. however. the grand old party uses the psycho- logical effect Of the Maine cleo tions whenever it is deemed of value to do so.

trol of both branches of the legis- lature. The main point of interest to observers elsewhere is whether the majorities rise or fall.
 The Klan issue still besmears some of Maine's politics; Governor Brewster's state prison investi8a- tion has stirred up animosites; and the removal of the Kennebec coun- ty sheriff recently created factional opposition. He will be reelected, but the majority is not expected by his friends to be more than around 15,000. This would be a consider able drop from the majority of 36,- 900 which he had in 1924.
 But in 1920 Governor Baxter carried Maine by majority of 65, GOO - the last Maine election which had barometric quality, as it forecasted the landslide of Hard ing two months later. Since that time the majorities have been re- ducing, and today we find the Democratic big guns trained upon the second congressional district, where the Republican ticket is re- puted 10 be having a hard tusslo. If the Democrats carry this one district, in addition to reducing the
 governorship majority to 15,O00 the barometric tendency will be ir 1 favor of the Democrats.
