With Mild Weather LONDON, April 2.—Six British coal mines left to the mercy of inrushing watersby the strike of miners and pump men have already been flooded and some are said to be in som condi- tion that they may be permanently wrecked. Clerks and volunteers are manning the pumps. Scores of telegraphic appeals reached the government yesterday asking that sailors be sent to fight i against the floods of waters pouring into the mines. Various coal dealers’ associations are publishing appeals in the news- papers calling on volunteers with en- gineering experience to give assist- ance, iq The government is apparently tak- ing a grave view of the crisis and is laying plans to deal with the emer- gency, Cut Train Service Restrictions on train serv begin next Wednesday and-a will of 20 per cent will be made effective be-e.,.., fore the end of the week if the coal strike continues.
