J THE KALEIGII DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1912. NATION WIDE STRIKE Grave Industrial Crisis Threatens En Every Resource in the VVuy of Arbi tration and Conference Exhaust ed and There Seems No Prospect of Settlement Over 000,000 Miners .Will Quit Work. London, Feb. 24. The gravest in dustrial crisis of centuries will be precipitated next Thursday, when the nation wide coal strike proclaim ed by the Miners' Federation begins throughout England. Nothing, ap parently, can now stop the threat ening peril, despite the almost frantic eleventh-hour efforts being made by the home secretary, Sir; Reginald McKenna, and Winston Churchill, First Lord of the admiralty, who is aiding him in his desperate attempt to stave off the calamity. Every resource in the way of con ferences looking to arbitration and compromise has been exhausted and the only hope now remaining is that one side or the other will back down completely from its position and con cede everything to the other. What alight chance there is of this can be gleaned from the latest declara tions of leaders of the contesting ele ments the owners: "We have taken off our coats to fight;" the miners: "All the governments in the world can not make the miners work when they have chosen not to." Over 600,000 members of the Miners' Federation will quit work at the stroke of the midnight be tween Wednesday and Thursday, and with them over a million more men, women and boys employed in connection with British coal miners, above and below ground, will be thrown out of employment. It is estimated that the strike will, at the smallest computation, direcly affect two million persons. It will, in additon, ruin thousands of small shopkeepers, and ultimately it will bring the whole trade of the coun try to a standstill. Factories will close, railway trains will cease to run, ships will lie idle in the ports. There will be no gas, and no electric light. Disorders will inevitably follow, and some predict a condition bordering oh civil war. Without doubt the strike will be the greatest war of labor and capital in Humphreys' Seventy-Seveo Breaks Up Colds and If you are prone to take Cold keep "Seventy-seven" handy it is the first few doses that count.

England's history, and many expect it to develop into the greatest t!he world has known. In every stage of the fight through conferences with the national union, the mine owners have proved ob durate, and they have issued state ments that they are fully prepared to cope with the walkout of the miners. Their objection to the de mand of the miners for a "minimum wage" is that it would bankrupt theni.aud they can better bear the drain that a general strike will en tail. They declare the demands of the miners outrageous and exhorbi tant. On the other hand, the miners declare they can not earn a living wage under the conditions of the prevailing agreement, which was reached in 1910. Hritish miners are paid on a piece-work basis, and, ttheii given poor coal strata to work with, a miner can not dig enough coal to earn his livelihood in the present days of high cost of living. Accordingly insistence has grown for i minimum guarantee to be paid by the owners, in event that a miner does not earn more on the piece work basis. The question of a "minimum wage" has only arisen during the last two years, the result largely of persistent socialist agitation in the mining towns and villages. The first resolution passed in its favor was by the federation conference last fall coincident with the election to the executive of young and extreme men, Vernon Hartshorn and C. B. Stanton. The resolution declared for a gen eral strike on November 1 5, but the delegates of the federation decided not to strike at the time. After lengthy negotiation with the owners, a referendum vote of all the miners was taken in January, resulting in a 4 to .1 ballot in favor of a gen eral walkout, the figures being 445,801 against 11.), 921, Since then strenuous efforts have been made to avert the approaching nationwide disaster, but every at tempt has proved unavailing. The board cf trade pleaded with both owners and miners, but neither side would concede a bit of ground. A conference was then held by the rep resentatives of the miners on Feb ruary 13, which confirmed the de cision calling for the strike. On the same day, notice was served by 40, ooo miners in Derbyshire that they would quit work next Thursday, and almost daily thereafter miners in other districts have notified the owners of their intention to strike, the length of notice required vary ing in different districts. All the notices go into effect next Thurs day. Many wonder that some of the miners have not" bolted the traces" and struck before the notices -o into effect. Their animus against tne owners is known to be so strong in some places that it had been ex pected many of them would be on strike, though unofficially, before this time.

" against the disaster that will result from the strike. Many large Anna have ordered importations of for eign coal, the greatest part of it com ing from America, and some from Germany. The navy in particular has been taking speedy steps lo pro vide against the fleets being rendered into a state of incapacity by inability to get coal. The admiralty o!rcc has executed several large orders for foreign coal, and in the meantime has caused every one of the isantie colliers to be loaded with all the domestic coal it can hold. There are various estimates as to how long the coal in stock will last after the strike gets started. One familiar with the situation said to night that a month will completely exhaust every tone of available coal But this is not all. Few large London concerns have the means of storing coal, and some of the most important of them live literally from hand to mouth for the reason' that they use so much coal that any great storage arrangements would be an Impossibility...'-; An instance is seen in the generat ing stations of the London council tramways and others in the big elec tric lighting and power companies. These are mostly placed where coal can be delivered by ship or barge as required. Then there are the huge vessels of the mercantile marine. Coal Is brought, to them by colliers direct, and they have no coal in store. A fortnight's stoppage would mean that. no. ships could leave Eng land's shores.'". Because of the shortage of coal, many great .municipal undertakings will be driven to their utmost to get coal lor the purposes of keep ing uoiug. Every ten of coal, some predict, alter the strike has been in "Will the whole British .army be moved under armed escort, for the transport workers, 'according to opinion, will make common cause with the miners and refuse to handle coal while the strike is on, "illW the whole British army be strong enough to maintain order un der such circumstances? Will there not lie danger of an actual civil by a speaker at a popular war? " These questions were asked mass meeting demanding that the government forcibly intervene and compel some system of arbitration. What the eventual outcome of the strike v. ill be '.can not be forcasted with any certainty. There are foo many .different things to consider. One speculation is to the effect that, either the; miners will' win a com plete victory, or the strike will end w ith the smashing of', the ""Miners' Federation, "which" in its twenty three years of existence, has accom plished much for the British, miners.

The advertiser of a certain ad justable dress form was hunting in the woods of .Maine last year. 'I he quest of game led him into a tan gled swamp. Here he found, not a moose, but, on the ground, half hid den among the yellowed leaves, a bit of paper. It proved to be a frag ment of a copy of a well-known pe riodical, and it contained the an nouncement of a second paper at that time soliciting his patronage. The advertiser noted with interest that, although printed ten years be fore, and exposed nobody knows how long to the effects of the weather, it was in a state of perfect preser vation. The finder forwarded the curiosity to the periodical se;king his business with a letter jn which he said : "I came upon : this fragment while seeking game, and it has oc curred to me that, in a way, an ad vertisement is like a hunted deer once started, there is no telling where it will go." He might have added with truth that, as it is the tireless hunter who bags the game, so it is the persist ent advertiser who "brings home the bacon." It often happens that a business enterprise is outlived by its own ad vertising. To parapharse Shake speare, "The advertising that men do lives after them." y. How often one recalls something one has seen advertised in the years agone, wonders if It is still on the market and, as for an old friend, hankers for a sight of one of the old familiar announcements! I'otential are the invisible assets that are ignored, forgotten. The message of an ad steals Into i.ur minds and hearts before we know It, and another victory is scored lor the genii of the printing press. 80, ye who employ the myriad sales men of publicity, fail not to enlist the aid of "good old Father Time. The motto of the biggest nd old est advertising agency on tne con tinent Is: "Keeping everlastingly at It brings success," , LIGHT PLANT FOR SILER CITY Will Have, Electric Power In Six 1 Months Business Change.
