MINERS MOB MADE ATTACK UPON A DEAN Tried to Throw Him Into River But fle Was Rescaed. THE STRIKE SITUATION In Great Britain Appears Worse ~The Premier's Statement London, July 27.--The rallying of the railroad men and transport work- ers in support of the miners and the sudden mobbing of Bishop Well- don, formerly of Calcutta and dow Dean of Durham, at a gathering of miners, mark the beginning of the last critical 'week before the decision concerning a strike is taken. Notices issued by the mine own- ers to determine the present wages agreement take effect on Friday, and already the anthracite miners at Swansea are making arrangements for a stoppage in their field and are preparing to avoid the mistake which alienated public opinion four year ago, by agreeing to permit the mea needed to safeguard the pits to con- tinue the wcrk. : The main hope of peace seems to lie in the report of the Government court of inquiry, which will be is- sued to-day, and in the meeting of the mine owners on Wednesday. The executive committee of the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade workers Saturday adopted.un- animously a resolution calling upon the .general council of the Trades Union Congress to establish "'a coun- cil of action that will ensure that every atom of strength of the or- ganized working class movement is utilized in support of the miners' present crisis." Premier Baldwin, speaking Satur- day afternoon at Knowsley, Lan- cashire, explained that he set up the court of inquiry in order to clarify the issues, adding: "Where public opinion is the final arbiter, there can be no case that fs not helped by ventilation. I thought it might act as a fan to ecir- culate some fresh cool air into the working of over-heated brains and tempers." Assault On Bisfiop. The need of some such moderat- ing force was shown by the attack on Bishop Welldon. He has been noted all his life for his outspoken utterances, but never until the pres- ent was he supposed to be person- ally obnoxious to the labor men. When he arrived Saturday after- noon to pay a visit to the fete of some miners near Durham, at which Ramsay MacDonald and Emanuel Shinewell, the latter Minister of Mines in the Labor Government, were the principal speakers, the crowd made a wild rush at him. He was jostled to and fro amidst a mob of angry men, who shouted "To the river." He was hustled over the race course and was within a few steps of the River Wear when the more cool headed in the crowd came to his rescue. A motor launch which was passing saw the trouble and drew in to shore, when a group of men flung themselves at the bishop's launch. The bishop, who is over 70, merely said: "f Jost my: mew hat nd um- brelia." He returned to the deanery, and sufficiently re- seek moderation and conciliation. ----------------------------. 7 DECLARED BONUS. Extra One Per Cent. on Ontario Steel Stock.

Unionist elders had been forced to leave the church and the Unionist Sunday school superin- tendent had 'found the doors locked against him, Mr. Clearihue said. CHEAP POWER SUPPLY BRINGS INDUSTRIES Canada's Hydro Potentialities Force Migration of Alumi- num Manufacture. Toronto, July 27.--First proot of the soundness of the opposition of the provinces of Quebec and Ontario against the export to the United States of Canadian power is contain- ed in the announcement that the whole of the aluminum industry of the United States, involving a capi- tal of probably half a billion dollars, is to be moved into Quebec pravince. The power requirements will be enormous, being estimated at some- thing in the neighborhood of 750,- 000 horsepower. So huge is the industry which it is proposed to establish on the Sagu- enay River that it will mean the creation of a city of 50,000 people. With the uses and processes of ali- minum fast developing in ever-wid- ening circles throughout the whole of the civilized world, the ultimate economic benefits to Quebec province and Canada as a whole cannot at this distance, be gauged. For many months the Aluminum Company. of . America has hesad weighing the comparative 'water- power advantages offered by Canada and Norway, and it is understood that the cheapness and abundance of this vital item to the manufac- turing process swung the decision in Canada's favor. The construction of the company's plant, including the power development, will mean an in- vestment alone of over $100,000,- 000. The industry secures its raw product from far-off British Guiana, and the transport of this in sufficient quantities will mean the establish- ment of a company line of at least 15 steamships between the Saguenay and the Guiana coast during the navigation period.
