The House of Commons met in a spirit of outward calm, but the under Iying tension was apparent in the almost b ical laughter with which small matters were received. Clearly they were anxious to come to grips with the problem. The House w tors and the peer Among the peers present were the Duke of York, second son of King George, and the Archbishop of Can: terbury. Premier Baldwin entered in the midst of the questions. All the Conserva- tives arose, waved their question papers and cheered. There was some 1 laughter from the opposition to which the Ministerialists gave coun- ter chers amtd a Conservative cry, “No Soviet in this country.” Mr. Thomas, entering shortly aft . received a similar labor o tion, as did former Premier Ramsay MacDonald, the Labor chief, while the Conservatives laughed. crowded with visi llery was filled. Baldwin Presents Message. Premier Baldwin presented a mes- age from the King declaring the ex- istence of a state of emergency. The premier moved that a humble ad- dress be presented to his majesty thanking him for the message. The Laborites immediately chal- lenged the premier's motion. The apparent calm of the first few min- utes of the sitting quickly changed to intense feeling, and taunts were hurled from side to side. Former Premier Lloyd George, en- tering, was not cheered by his own Liberal supporters, and the Labor- ites tendered him an ironical ova- tion. Premier Baldwin's motion also thanked the King for issuing his proclamation declaring that a state of emergency existed. The motion was carried by a vote of 308 to 108. Occasion One of Gravest. The premier then addressed tha House, declaring the occasion was one of the gravest on which the Commons had ever met. There never would be a settlement in the coal in- dustry until there was a different spirit_in it and a very different or- ganization for the discussion and ar- rangement of wages. The premier said that up to the last moment both sides had been too prone to maneuver for a favorable position with the public. It had been impossible to get an agreed account of what the miner was earning be- cause nefther side had ever agreed on a figure. They (the owners and miners) were two_stubborn bodies, whose advance in the negotiations was like an ir- niaintenance of courthouse, maintenance of jail, $1,000; tax assess ments and supplies, $7.000; school sup- plies, $900; health department salaries and supplies, $12.000; engineer and superintendent of roads, salarles and supplies, $6,000 of roads office force, electrical inspector, 3900; fire protection, $8,000; police department, salaries and sup- plies, §14,000: road light, $17,000; side- walks, $7,500: Insurance on county property, $2,500; sanitary fund, $10,- 000; contingent fund, $4,475.14; scav- enger service, salaries and supplies, evenues in ¢ from the levy lows: Fines and fe the court, $2,3 health depart- | ment, .8 electric permit: returns from the treas returns from the county Total, $13 ddition to that derived e estimated as fol- from the clerk of Pharmacy 21st and G Sts.

The miners and owners would have to find or have found for them some way of managing their own business, independently of governmental inter- vention, the same as did all the other great industries of the country. . The premier said that the govern- ment had induced the owners to ne- gotiate nationally and without reser- vation and to propose a guaranteed wage level that would be slightly higher than that under the settlement of 1921. The miners’ refusal to con- sider this proposal, he sald, made negotiations on it impossible.

Mr. Thomas, who spoke after the premier, declared passionately that there was still a solution for the sit- uation “Whatever the result of the strike,” he said, “any man is a blind idiot and a fool who does not see that the economic facts of the coal position will remain. There was no other course open to labor but to strike.” Asks Commons to Act. Mr. Thomas declared that Parlia- ment could force an honorable settle- ment, and said he would make his contribution whenever the opportuni- ty offered. Former Premier Lioyd George, fol- lowing the railwaymen's secretary, pleaded for recpening of the negotia- tions. Mr. Lloyd George proposed that the miners be asked to discuss wages, but not to pledge themselves to reduc- tions in advance. He begged the government once more to muke an effort for peace. If there was a disposition to resume the negotiations, he said, the govern- ment should make its position clear, and should also state whether it would preside over the negotiations. In such circumstances, he believed the House should agree to a limited continuation of the coal subsidy. Referring to Premier Baldwin's re mark about eivil war, Mr. Lloyd George said that if a ballot were taken in Great Britain not 2 per cent of the people would vote for revolution. “This situation is not revolution,” he “but a plain economic dispute in which justice is wanted.” of the gov coal industr: In making premier said single aim_had assent of hoth Prices Begin to Rise.

Police were called to clear the way for him. The crowd was good natured, being composed mainly of curiosity seekers. Crisis Came Early Today. ‘The cri: culminated early today when the government announced that its negotiations with the Trades Union Congress in an endeavor to prevent a walkout of the workers in various trades had broken down.

On behalf of the workers, it was declared that their efforts to obtain an honorable settlement had been wrecked by the government’s unprece. dented ultimatum and that the nego- tiations for peace were ended. Surprise was expressed that the government had summarily ended the pourparlers before giving the trades unionists time to Investigate the overt acts, which included a walkout yesterday by the printers of the Daily Mail The printers refused to set up an editorial on the strike, entitled “For King and Country,” which said, “A zeneral strike cannot be tolerated by any civilized government.” Foodstuff Service Stands. The general strike call affects all of the transport services, except those dealing with foodstuffs. Several other industries also are involved. While it seems apparent that some of the trades unions will not immediately join the walkout, it is understood that about 410,000 railway men, 60,000 rail- way clerks, 300,000 builders, 330,000 transport workers, 60,000 seamen, 120.- 000 printers, 100,000 iron workers and 25,000 electricians will cease work. As far as can be learned postal and telegraphic workers will continue at their jobs. ’ To meet the emergency the govern- ment has made elaborate prepara: tions. The country is divided into 10 districts, each under a_civil commis sioner with large staffs of officluls. These will assume complete control of public necessities. Apparently trade union proposals to run food trains and transport other necessities wili not be considered.

Then they will be per- mitted to have only one weight weekly. and electric sup- plies also will be curtailed. stuffs probably will be rationed and the public, to some extent, will renew their acquaintance with the restri tions they were under during the war. The nation, however, has been bidden to banish anxiety. The government today rationing, will b hundred- | od- | women started volunteering Sunday One outward sign impressing Lon- doners was the closing of Hyde Park for use as @ depot for the govern- ment's milk distribution service, The park, which is London's near est equivalent to Central Park in New York, s surrounded by high railings, and all the entrances were closed and locked, except for lorries bringing in milk. The situation in the printing indus- try is not quite clear. The latest statement, however, s that the special agreements between the men and the newspapers that bar a strike or a lockout, except _with a fortnight's notice, are not effective in the present :ase, and that the printers will cease work at midnight. This will mean that there will be no newspapers dur ing the strike. The government is prepared to meet this difficulty by tak- ing over the broadcasting service for the transmission of news and possibly also will issue daily printed news bulletins. = Throughout Sunday there was great activity both In government circles in Downing Street and at headquarters of the trades union congress. Two lengthy cabinet councils were held at which Premfer Baldwin -ave resumes of the negotiations with the workers Saturday night. The council of the trades union congress was in session almost the entire day. Late in the afternoon a committee of workers went to Downing Street and conferred with the premier. King George was minutely informed of the progress of affairs. Troops for Precaution. It was announced that the sending of troops into the mining region was only a precautionary measure, Reports from the coal flelds showed no indica- tion of disorder.

The jurist denied he gullty of usurpation of other high misdemeanor fice. He declared that, even allegations as set forth in ticles were true, they did stitute impeachable offenses. The answer said he ‘“discharged his duties as judge of said court honestly, conscientiously and without partiality and according to law, to the best of his ability.” In denylng allegations that he usurped authority and oppressively and tyrannically threatened and abused certain iilinols sheriffs and State’s attorneys and the mayor of Wamac, Ill, in his courtroom on August 1, 1922, the jurist he did “talk vigorously and Iy” to those officials. He explain he did so because of labor disorders and because life and property were in danger. One Death Had Occurred. One life already had taken in disorders, he pointed out, and he had seen fit to issue an injunction to prevent interference with tions of trains. ‘He sald he did believe then that the State officlals he had summoned be fore him ‘‘were not fully discharging been power and in of i the the ar not had con been | strikers or Herrin | opera- | their duties” and that he had reason | for this belief because he had informa tion that many of the officials were strike sympathizers.
