Efforts to Reach An Agreement

WILL PARALYZE NATION
Predictions Made That General
Strike Wni Lead to Condi
tions Unheard Of.
LONDON. April 8. (By The As
sociated Press.) Great Britain to
day appeared to be face to face with
an industrial crisis of unprecedented
proportions. The national union of
railway men and the federation of
transport workers decided to strike
in support of British coal miners,
who have been out since the first of
the week.
Hopes that tne miners and own
ers .of the coal pits might meet the
government officials today to discuss
means of settling the strike were ap
parently blasted Bbortly after noon
when it was announced the miners
had refused to meet their employers.-
The miners' refusal was because
of the stipulation that the return of
the pump men and engineers should
be th first .question settled at the
conference. The miners' position
was that the . meeting should be en
tirely free from discussion of this
.QHJ&Jfev ia.
CALLED
LONDON, April 8. (By the As
sociated Press -The intention of
the British government to issue an
' appeal tor volunteers for the trans
port and other essential services In
view of the proposed "triple alli
ance" strike was announced in the
house ot commons late today by Mr.
Lloyd George, tne prime minister. A
proclamation would cafl up the army
and navy reserves, he said.
, The government also Intends to
enroll special constables and to form
a special emergency force for a pe
riod of ninety days to protect the po
lice In the execution of their duty,
the prime minister added.
All efforts ot Lloyd George . to
bring the miners and mine owners
. together to discuss the differences
which led to Ahe strike in the coal
fields having tailed, the miners' exe
- cutlve committee went into confer
v ence this afternoon with their psrt
ners In the triple alliance the trans
: port workers and the railway men
to decide when the members of the
allied organisations would be called
' , out on a sympathetic strike.
Last hlght the decision by the
prime minister, at the suggestion of
the more moderate labor Interests,
to invite the mine owners into a
conference this morning, at which
" the first subject would be the re-
sumption ot pumping to clear the
VVmln At rniifur loH tha rnnnrfll nub-
lic to believe a settlement was In
Hlrht and that the imnendlng strike,
promising to be the greatest In the
history ot England, would be avert
ed.
The miners were, however, firm in
heir stand, Insisting there should be
ncy restrictions regarding the ques
tions to be discussed ana an ex-
.. chance Of letters between them and
Lloyd George failed to change their
attitude. ' , - .
; The railway men and transport
workers , this evening decided to
strike in sympathy with the miners
Tuesday morning, failing in the
negotiations for a settlement ot the
coal strike. w J. -"While
the .mines are hourly be
' ing, flooded and ruined and one' of
. the most valuable of the nation's as-
sets I being destroyed, It Is impos-
slble to expect other questions being
evaded; accordingly safety must be

Boyden, however, now Is in Vienna

WINSTON-SALEM, April 8. The
adaptation of the principles of the
gas tilling station business to block
ade whisky is a new departure in
Forsyth county. This Innovation
was discovered by deputies of
Sheriff Flynt yesterday afternoon.
During the afternoon the officers
made a raid of a section on the Lex
ington road. In an old field a fnw
hundred feet from the road the of
ficers found the filling station. It
consisted of a fifty gallon barrel
which was buried In the ground
with the bung protruding just abi.ve
the soil level. A used cartway led
near the spot and there was evi
dence! of considerable patronage. .
The barrel was found to be full to
the brim, and the condition of the
exterior of the barrel when dug up
suggested that It had been in -position
for some time. It is Ml r)d
that it had been used as a depository
and had been emptied by use of a
pump or other means mary times.
The ground about the barrel sm -tied
strong of whisky, indicating that
there' had been some waste in re
filling and emptying the etorago
tank.
Tho raid was made , by Deputy
Sheriffs Scott,' Flynt and Newsom.
The station was located about three

RALEIGH. April 8.-Looklng
over the Morrison srlminUtvoti..
from cellar to garret, Governor Mor'. '
risou nns concluded that one ot the
first things that should ba remedied
Is the lack of medical attnnt Inn at
the hospitals or the insane at Mor-
gamon, Kaielgh and Goldsboro
The governor has given this phase
of his administration enough'
thought and , consideration to au
thorize the statement that he does
not intend to go out of office with
out having done his best to double,
triple 6r maybe quadruple the medi
cal staff at the Institutions for the
unfortunate. It Is possible that the
directors may be convinced to go
even further in this direction but
the point Governor Morrison has In
mind is to materially Increase the '
nureina; and medical staffs of the
various state hospitals.
Although Governor Morrison hid
some difficulty, when he was racing
for the governorship, to satisfy, the
voters he was only a politician seek. ,
ing what office he might devour yet
the hospital directors are convinced
that there has never been an execn-
tive who sought the lieht harder
than his present excellency. The in
terest the governor has shown in
the welfare of the state's; unfortu
nates, and his recommendations to.
provide better treatment tor them,
will be one of the high lights of
the present administration v
There is no charge laid at any hos
pltal door because of the prevailing .
conditions but Governor Morrison
thinks that 1,200 patients, sick in'
mind or body or both;, ought to bo
provided with more .1 than three,
physicians. Such is thelcondltlon at
4k SUae4tatthntra:t'. f
the capital city. Under "the best .
conditions twelve hundred, mentally
and physically sound persons, . says
the governor, require more attention .
thin three physicians can give. His
excellency will see that the situation ,
is remedied. VvV.V'-s' ,', . '
Already he has Impressed . upon
the hospital directors in language
as strong as can be spoken, - The
governor has not forgotten that "the
care of our unfortunates" was one
of his Inaugural planks and he does
not intend to let his promise to U'O
peoplo pass out of his mind.
The hospital directors will not be
allowed to forget either for the gov- .
ernor has served notice that there
will be no let-up until there has
been a radical change in- the affairs
of the institutions. While he was
being criticised tor asking for power
to hire and fire his own subordinates
Governor Morrison was only loi?kin
for a means to the end. If a hos
pital board sought to neglect a
thousand patients there would be no'
earthly way of changing the sys
tem, and consequently the Morrison
request can now be understood.
What the Morrison administra
tion lucks in power to remove from
office It Is well fortified in power ot
persuasion, and it Is through this
method the governor will get ac?
tion.
There is to be no let-up In tho
campaign launched against the sale
of questionable stock by "wildcat'"
salesmen declared Commissioner
Stacey W. Wade ot the state depart
ment of Insurance, today. The fact
that the International Petroleum
company ot Texas, through the nse
of the malls and the name of Roland
P. Beaslcy. former state commis
sioner of public welfare, is endeav
oring to do business in North Caro
lina in open violation of the law
only adds to the con&Qny's un
savory tactics. Commissioner Wade
thinks.
"We do not want the people of .
the state to get the Impression that
the insurance department seeks to
act as their guardian.' Commission
er Wade said today, "but we do feel
that our duty as state officers makes
it Imperative that the facts in the
case be given." wneiner me on ,
company is a good gamble or not s
cannot be estimated, but It Is not
licensed in North Carolina and no ,
contract the company s msy make
would be enforceable In any state
