A. despatch from London says: ---
Great Britain's great coal strike is
hourly adding to the general paraly-
sis of business throughout tlu oun-
try: Besides increasing the army of
British unemployed to more than four
million, it has led to conditions that
have necessitated measures tanta-
mount to the emergencyregulations
of war times to conserve the fast
shrinking supply of teal. Only two
rays of hope can he seen in the dead-
locked situation. Orae is a move on
the part of certain members of Par-
liament to secure the re -opening of
negotiations and the drther is - a
prophecy of J. FI. Thomas, Secretary
of the National Union of Railwaymen,
that within a week the strike would
be settled.
'Meanwhile the country is faced with
a cutting of its railway service to
skeleton proportions, entailing addi-
tional handicaps, for all hinds ,of busi-
ness and spelling disastrous loss to
the seaside resorts because of the
inability of the roads to handle the
crowds. Another week of the -strike
and the railway service will be .cut to
practically 'half of the normal and
the large cities will be as dimly light-
ed as they were during the air raids
of the war.
