London.--One million British coal miners have carried out their threat of a strike, and as a result entire Industry Is paralysed. The cessation of coal mining activity constitutes the greatest labor upheaval and precipitates the greatest labor crisis since the chaotic days of readjustment immediately succeeding the World war. It means that one-flfth of Britain's union workers are idle, with the. remaining 4,000,000 subject to orders for a general strike in sympathy with the miners' action. , Recognized as a national catastrophe, a calamity as great as another international conflict, the strike comes as a sequel to weeks of futile negotiations between the mine owners and workers. In these parleys the government latterly took an important part and Premier Stanley Ba 1 (Ja^n recently stated that there was lio^' of an agreement being [reached. The premier, in making the announcement that* the strike was on, declared that the government stood ready to act under the emergency powers law. In effect this makes the premier a dictator and enables him to call upon the army, navy and air forces to operate industrial plants or to protect them against the strikers. Police and municipal authorities in all parts of England received instructions from the government to hold *v It 's surprising, states another ex- If Illinois keeps up fire losses at tne j on qUesti0n, how a preacher rate established the first three months | can keep hi? face strajght when he ! themselves in readiness for service, of the year, thejotal loss for 1920 will , agks bride if ghe promjses t0 obey.

Cessation of coal production carries one certainty, the ultimate stagnation of industry of every kind. The revival of activity in the steel and Iron foundries of the nation of recent months makes the situation still more gloomy. As to the possibility of operating the mines with nonunion labor, there is no such element save the unskilled kind. Though soldiers and sailors have been put to operating the mines and the railroads in times of previous strikes, production has always been limited and unsatisfactory. One of the most menacing aspects of the strike is the possibility that the transport workers too will be called out. This would occur If the railways were called upon to haul coal mined by the men the government might place In the mines. This, It Is admitted by Premier Baldwin and his associates, will be one of the Immediate and mo3t pressing Issues which the government will be called upon to combat. The collapse of the- negotiations was due to the fact that the miners Anally and absolutely refused to accept the owners' revised offer of a reduced wage on the basis of a settlement made In 1921, namely, a 20 per cent increase over the standard of wages which prevailed In 1914. This was conditional on the adoption of an eight-hour day instead of the present seven-hour day. * The miners' attitude was that they would not accept such reduction before reorganization of the industry on the lines of the royal commission's recommendations.
