This action by the Miners' Federa- tion follows the posting at the pit heads in South Wales and elsewhere by the mine owners of revised terms of employment, to become operative August", which are most unpalatable ~ to the employees. ; Despite the pessimism here, this action does not mean that hopes of .iziemen bY negotiation must be de- ests to the exclusion of tions of general welfare. 'The prevailing gloom is well" ex- pressed in a London Times' editorial, which declares that the strike, if it materializes, will be a "disaster of immeasuréable magnitude," which can give satisfaction to none, but: Britain's enemies. "It would be foolish to chnish any {llusions or expect any result from a resumption of negotiations," con- tinues the editorial. #The remedy for the present state of the industry pro- posed by the owners is longer hours and lower wages, and the, miners will not hear, of 'either. They' have made no proposals of their own, and their attitude' is purely negative. They simply will not listen to the terms put forward by the owners, avho decline to offer 'any others. This means that both sides are marching steadily and deliberately to battle = finitely abandoned. The miners have their case, unreservedly, in the nds of the General Council of the Trade Union Congress, which has re- quested an Interview with the Prime Minister. In view of the Govern- @ent's anxiety to bring. the warring miners and employers together, there - is a possibility that an afreerrent may FLIER AT 60-MILE SPEED PLUNGED INTO RIVER Had Miraculous Escape in St. «i Clair Ship Channel When Engine Ran Out of Gas. A despatch from Mt. Clemens, Mich., says:--Lieut. Harmon J. Nor- n, Marine Corps flier attached to 'this station for special training, was recovering from the effects of plung- ing into the St. Clair Ship Channel ot a speed of sixty miles an®hour when his engine ran out of gas and the pump on the reserve tank falled to work. Fellow pilots here feel that Nor- n had' a miraculous escape from death in an accident, the like of which has never beén known in the air ser- vice. He was rescued by the prompt * efforts of Captain Frank P. Sinnot of the dredge Thomas A. Tees of Sar- nia, whe also salvaged the airplane. Norton, with Lieut. Matthews, in a second plane, was returning Wednes- day noon from Washington.' Just as he was over the head of Lake St. Cair A and was preparing to make his land- ing on the field his e1.zine, which had been working perfectly, stopped dead. His gasoline gauge registered zero. Turning on the reserve, Norton wait- ed for the engine to 'pick up. "I tried the hand pump and it too failed to work," Norton's report stated. Nature Working Change in Hawaiian Islands in Pacific A despatch from Washington says: --Mother Nature will produce a fair-sized continent in the mid-Pacific, it was predicted by Edwin Fairfax Naulty, of New York, who has studied earth movements for many years. He says he is convinced that the Hawai- fan Islahds gradually and quietly are being. pushed upward, and within, a generation will comprise a high-and dry territory as large as Japan. Mr. Naulty predicted that the pro- tess would be unaccompanied by any serious earth shocks. ---- ee Apicture of health requires a happy frame of-mind.--C.M, (Wham ficss Rodger; bank manager atc St. David's, Ont, with his herole wife and pos wing Mary, Mrs. Rodger fatally shot the~bandit 'who attacked her husband.

"The port council's-engifiesrs recent ly submitted a report declaring that the river could be' made available for large tonnage ships as far as the tower bridge for a comparatively moderate sum, and that there is suffi- cient property available at the bridge to warrant building docks there. The council has not yet completed its plans, but it appears likely that action wii. be taken when trade cons ditions are better. The project would require about three years. The river would be. dredged from Tilbury to the Tower, a distance of about twenty miles, at ia cost of Approximately £2,000,000; or about $9,700,00 " Public and commercial iene seems to favors the project, although : there is Gertain to be hostility from" the railroads and other interests de- pendent. upon coastal haulage.
