the Prussian Diet settled the claims
Of the Hohenzollerns by giving the
family a castle, 1877, 900 acres of land

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Progress toward economic nor
mality in Great Britain was sadly in
terrupted by the general strike Of or
ganiZed labor, undertaken in behalf
of the striking coal miners, who had
quit work on May 1 rather than ac-
cept reduced wages. At midnight, May
3. nearly 10000 skilled Workmen
obeyed the order to strike Imme-
diately the government put into oper-
alton the elaborate organization which
1t had prepared for the emergency to
carry on the services essential to the
| life and health of the people and to
preserve the peace.
| Prime Minister Baldwin declared the
| general strike was challenge to the
constitutional rights and freedom of
| the nation and he would consider no
compromise. Thousands OF volun-
| teers assisted In the distribution Of
| food and fuel in the cities, which
were most affected, and troops and
! warships were stationed at critical
| points. OF course industry in general
| was paralyzed, but the British people
| carried on" and the labor leaders
soon realized that they We're beaten.
| On May IL the Trade Union Council
terminated the general strike with the
| problems of the coal industry as far
! as ever from solution Not only did
! the strike cost the nation huge sums,
but the new trade agreements that fol-
| lowed its collapse were on the whole
| advantageous to the employers, and
| it was demonstrated that even If a
general strike were not illegal, as
was contended by eminent authorities,
1t was futile and even dangerous
! weapon for the unions to use
Though no settlement of the miners
strike was reached, thousands of the
men, unable longer to endure the I'M
| employment, returned to the pits UNI

An ancillary effect of the great

This led to the resignation of Asquith
from the leadership of the party,
which position he had held since 1908.

the determination of President Gales
to put into full effect the clauses of
the constitution relating to priests
and property held by the Catholic
