UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, MAY 3, 1926
London, May 3.—Great Britain is near to civil war now that she has been for centuries, Premier Baldwin has accused him of insulting mons immediately after it had passed his motion that parliament approvok King George's action in declaring the existence of a national emergency and thus motivate the motion by a vote of 208 to 108.
"I don't think the labor leaders would have ordered a general strike," Premier Baldwin said, "had they realized that they were challenging organized government and bringing the jobs market farther than it has been for centuries."
London, May 3. A general strike at midnight tonight is inevitable, J Cook, secretary of the miners federation, said today.
"We have no intention whatever of resuming negotiations with the government," Cook said.
Cook spoke after a conference with labor leaders, but so far the general counsel of the trades union congress has not made so drastic a declaration. If Cook's prophecy is borne out, 4.8 percent of the entire British trade union workers, will go on strike at midnight.
London, May 3.—Three London daily newspapers were idle today as the result of the industrial dispute in England.
NO. 172
The Daily Mail did not appear this morning. The mechanical staff of the Evening Mail and the Evening Stam dard walked out last night. The early editions of the Evening Star were delayed by strike threats, in each case by the newspaper's arrest from editorials that were to run condemning the strike.
The government prepared today to operate at least one daily London newspaper under government regulations if the strike continues.
Meanwhile, the government announced a regular radio broadcasting program that would keep the people informed about events in their country as to the development of the strike.
With government co-operation maximum prices for butter, bacon cheese has been reduced and a further notice. Rattling of telephone conversation began in conformity with the postmaster general's advice that telephone talk be short and snappy.
Great Britain's army was ordered to stand by for an emergency. Every regiment was ordered to be prepared and to wear protective gear. The government proceeded quietly with the mobilization of men, trucks and equipment to maintain the essential resources. It was a general strike by a national strike. All army leaves were suspended today.
