The i star turn in this medley was taken by ian energetic man who made his way | through one of the main thorough faves on roller skates amid cheering from the onlookers. The reinforced police squads worked as they rarely had worked before to keep traffic un- tangled and crawling. And crawl was the best it could do. Scures of tho nds of idlers lined s watching traffic jams or in groups to discuss the | tion. Any sort of activity provided a show for them. One sight of especial interest was soldiers pa- rading at Wellington Barracks near Buckingharm Palace. Long lines of people stood with their noses between the iron railings of the fenceswatching the 1 yeuvers. Strike pickets began to operate in various sections of Lon- don during the morning. The largest government ammunition factorv in Great Britain, Woolwich Arsenal, became involved in the strike when the workers failed to report for duty. Plekets were thrown about the arsenal and as a precaution the gov- !ernment placed troops inside it. A few non-union busses, known pirates,’ were running this and the metropolitan rail- as managing to maintain on the short run between ireet and Harrow.

Coal therefore, in a very real sense, is vitally necessary to British economic | well-being. It not only keeps the fires | of British industry going, but 1s essen tial to that maritime trade which for centuries has been the foundation of Britain’s commercial prosperity. It fs | well within the range of possibilities | that regular coal cargoes presently will be leaving Hampton Roads and other Atlantic ports to supplant the | fuel no longer coming out of British mines Every country that sells the United | Kingdom foodstuffs will be hard hit | by the slump in British purchasing power in case of a prolonged indus irial upheaval. Canada is a great | source of British food supply. The hulk of the meat eaten in the British Isles comes from Argentina. Other Central and South American coun- tries are heavily dependent upon the British markei. The same thing. of course, applies 1o the European coun. trien. all of which sell the British | Jarge quantities of their manufac tured specialties Exchange Closely Watched.

A British official in Washington telis this writer that the United Kingdom Is probably far better equipped to meet the menace of a general strike than |1s popularly understood abroad. Five or six vears ago, on the occasion of the British railway strike. the government organized a volunteer transportation service that functioned very effective. | Iy in the delivery of food supplies throughout the country. Since then, !it is explained, this service has been systematically extended and can be utilized in case the present emergency assumes dangerous dimensions. The British authority here quoted does not minimize the grave possibilities of the situation. “Undoubtedly.” he, says, “it contains the seeds of revolution or fascismo.” (© ; BY FREDEF Grea in regular merican Coal 1926.) prright In India last vear 233 miles of ralil. ways were butlt and 1.200 miles more were under construction at the end of the year.
