Drastic wage cuts, part time and
unemployment for British miners
forecast a new crisis in the coal in
dustry, far more serious than Eng
land has yet experienced. This is the
opinion of men closest to the strug-
gle. Those with greater perspective
see British capitalism as whole
facing inevitable decline. The condi-
tions are demonstrating the truth of
British labor's contention that the
coal industry and eventually all in
dustRy can survive only through dras-
tic reorganization.
England is no longer the industrial
center of the world, shipping to mar
kets eager for it's products. It is just
one, and by no means the strongest,
industrial nation fighting for mar
kets already overstocked. Coal is one
among the many products of its in
dustrial proletariat for which there
is no adequate market. The real
trouble is not production but a
serious decline in exports which now
total 100000 tons a year compared
with 100000 in 1918.
Conference Meets.
The special delegate conference of
the British miners federation, which
met June for the first time since
the settlement Of the 1926 lockout,
faced a serious of cuts reducing
wages to the minimum in every inn
portant area. Miners wages in
South Wales, the leading source of
exports, were cut to a level only %
per cent above prewar compared with
42.2 per cent above following the
lockout. Yet in spite of low wages
and longer hours some districts are
working only and 3 days a week
while thousands of miners are alto
gether unemployed.
Cut-throat competition is the rul, e
with operators forcing the miners to
carry the chief burden. The stronger
and more efficient companies are
driving out the weaker, absorbing the
best of them and then turning to
fight each other. Topping the whole
is the effort to dump coal in foreign
markets, especially France, in COM
petition with French, German, Bel

Samuel Cahan, chief advisor to the

How Tory Gentlemen Plotted Murder Len rotky and Others

LONDON, June Ia. (By Mail) -
During the debate in Parliament or
me rupture Of diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia the representa-
ives Of British capitalism turned ur
their eyes in horror at the suggestion
That British diplomats could be guilty
Of espionage, corruption, and sub
versive activity.

Government of espionage tthe same
Joynson-H Hicks who maintains con
fidential cooperation" with the
Isarist agent Sablin, as revealed by
documents published a few months
ago.. Austen Chamberlain accused
the Soviet Government of anti-Brit-
ish propaganda.
Neither of them quoted a scrap
of evidence-apa from few docu-
ments "found" by Chang Tso-Lin's
White Russians.
The Tory blackguards have for
gotten the evidence which the Soviet
Government possesses against them:
concrete and precise: not ike their
vague generalities. Here is a sum-
mary of the activities of the gentle
manly" British diplomats in 1918,
during the time they were supposed
to be at peace with Soviet Russia. 1t

This trade was has induced the
French government to support what
amounts to a boycott of English coal.
The boycott has taken the form Of
reductions in railway rates on coal

gions which have always been leading
markets for English coal.

"The real author of this boycott"
says the Manchester Guardia n
Weekly, sis, Of course, the French
coalmining trust. It's instrument is
the French government which has
control Of railway rates. Its mouth
piece is M. Tardieu, minister for pub
lie works, who explained in the
chamber on April 1 that the inn
mediate object was to reduce imports
by land from 100000 to 100000
tons and by sea from 13,500,000 to
100000 TONS"
This is aimed primarily at Eng
land. France has been getting half
it's coal imports from England, a
third from Germany and the. balance
from Belgium, Holland and Poland.
The imports from Germany are
largely Dawesplan payments and
cannot be cut much, while Belgian
coal is imported because it is near
and good.

calls for stern action by the nation

Britain's basic industry, with unrest

the men engaged in it."

THE CHILD OF TWELVE
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

This is a most important age. AT
no time, save possibly between the
second and third birthdays, do such
important physiological changes
take place The period between IL
and Is is sometimes called the puber-
tai or transitional stage. In old
Roman law the age of puberty for
girls began at the twelfth birthday,
while for boys it was two years
later. The same period is some
times aptly called the March of life.
But with both boys and girls tre-
mendous emotional changes take
place at this age and they begin to
feel a new sense of responsibility.
In the life of almost any extraordi-
nary man or woman you will find
some unusual experience or adven-
ture at this age. Ingres, the famous
patient, definitely gave up the study
Of music for art at this age. Nelson,
the famous English admiral, went to
sea at this age. Agassiz, celebrated
Swiss American naturalist, was pos
sessed with a wonderful mania for
collecting nature specimens when he
was ~ and worked hard trying to
give Latin name to every animal
or bird he saw. Huxley, another
famous scientist, was an indefatigable
reader at IL. William Penn went
through remarkable religious ex-
perience at this time. The only
event in the childhood of Christ
which the Bible records. related to
this period, when he taught in the
Temple.
Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote an
ambitious essay at this time, entitled
Can the Immortality Of the Soul be
Proved by the Light Of Nature"
Julie Marlowe, as Fannie Brough,
began her stage career. Peg Voting
ton, the celebrated Irish actress, also
began serious acting at this time, and
it was when the Indian girl, Poca-
hontas, was II years old that she
saved the life of Capt. John Smith.
At IL Catherine Booth, the mother
Of the Salvation Army, was secretary
Of a temperance society and wrote
articles for a paper on the subject
and made really brilliant speeches.
At the same age she was sent to
school, but had to come home on ac-
count of a spinal disease which made
it necessary to lie on couch or bed
for many months. Her daughter,
Catherine Booth, and he'd son, Bran
well Booth, began holding public
meetings in the worst quarters of
London at this age.
Some persons who later achieve
distinction are, however, anything
but promising at this age. AT II
George Eliot, who is said to have
