Leeds of Stam- ford, sharply criticized that body. As a reprefentative of the Stamford chamber of commerce he appeared in favor of a Coal Strike and Railroad Workers. London, April 4 (By the A. P.).—The signs tonight point to the dispute between the coal miners and the government drifting in the direction of the most se- rious industrial crisis in recent years. There are- rumors that the government has decided upon' certain military steps, Which are likely still further to inflame the miners, while further emergency reg- ulations will be issued in accordance with orders in council giving the various gov- crnmental departments almost unlimited powers to take possession of mines, lands, buildings, works, gas, electric and water supplies, horses, food and forage and to requisition all kinds of transport, includ- ing tramways and light railways, to close ports. or harbors, control shipping and cargoes, fix prices of coal and prohibit or regulate the sale and supply of motor spirit. Much may ‘depend upon the attitude of the government as revealed by the debate in the house of commons tomorrow, and Wednesday will be the criti 1 day, de- ciding whether the other sections of the triple alliance, the railwaymen and transport workers, will strike in support of the miners. The railwaymen strongly favor a strike on the ground that when the railways are taken out of government control a similar: situation may arise, and uniess they support the miners now they cannot expect the miners' support should they need it at that time. Moderate opinion is coneentrating in favor of the suggestion offered on Satur- day by Alfred Bigland, coalition unionist, that the so-called decontrol bill should be rescinded and the time limit for.con- trol fixed for May 30, instead of March 31, thereby giving time for discussion and arrangement of the wages question and the education of the miners to the real industrial position at home abroad. 2% John Robert Clynes and Arthur Hen- derson, the most independent of the lib- erals, intend to press this suggestion upon the government tomorrow. It is believed that the government will refuse to accept this suggestion and that the premier will base his position upon the simple proposition that it is impossi- ble for the country in the present state of its finances to bear any further bur- den in the shape of a subsidy to the miners. It is not impossible that impor- tant political developments may hang upon the triple decision Wednesday. The anti-governmental press openly ac- cuses Premier Lloyd George of trying to manoeuvre the labor party into a false position whereby he could appeal to the country against the labor policy of “di- rect action and bolshevism.” These newspapers appeal to the labor leaders, especially the miners, to abandon the cxe treme policy of wrecking the mines by flooding and ‘refusing all discussion of the mine owners' proposals.

Asked as to how it was proposed to force the rallroad executives to recognize any plan proposed by " the conference, representatives of the rafiroad security owners, who claim to hold tweive billion doilars worth of railroad securities, said: “We have decided to bring about g so- Iution of the situation and while = mot ready to make known our plan of pre- cedure wa feel that we-are in a-position to_act. Tt must be remembered that $350.000,000 worth of railroad securities mature this year and that practically none of the roads are making sufficlent revenua to meet their fixed charges. This certainly ought to indicate where the se. cufities” owners ean do some good.” William Johnston. international presi- dent of the International Association of Machinists, declared while some plan might temporarily avert a_crisis at this e, the only permanent solution of the situation was government control of the railroads.
