STARVING BABE 1 DEATH ROOM Calling card, wel ding stationery, enrr. merclal stationery in t Job printing to ordr It the East Orefonlao. CITY OFFICIAL PAPER. NO. 7295 London, Aug. 19 More than a quarter million men in' England ar today out on strike, according to fig ures compiled here today and it is ey ident that a crisis in the world's great est struggle between capital and la bor Is near. i The effect of the str ke is now more visible than at anv tim rtorir, present trouble. Provisions are todajr almost as scarce in London as they were yesterday in Liverpool and th poorer classes are suffering intensely from the lack of the absolute neces sities of life. Offic:als today admit that both th railways and subways are virtually tied up, but they assert that two thirds of their employes in London have remained loyal to their em ployers. Transportation in the city proper, is somewhat improved over the s'tuation of yesterday. Grave danger which is now con fronting the city is that of an epidem ic, as no garbage has been removed for several days and is rotting. Th authorities realize that this is a new and serious danger. Chancellor Lloyd George this after noon conferred with several railroad managers and after the conference he reported that the outlook for a set tlement of the strike is now better than at any time since it was first inauguraed. He said that he believed that the railroads would recede from their announced position of refusing; to recognize the unions, which means that the strikers will win a strong point in the struggle. The government expects to estab lish train service with the use of the military forces within a very short time and by this move it is believed In official circles that the famine will b stopped before a great deal of suffer ing will have been experienced. Reports from Birmingham, Man chester, Sheffield and Leeds, are to the effect that many factories and mil's have been forced to close down nnd cop! colleries have suspended op erations, un account of a shortage of cars with which to move the coal rrom the mines. Many Die in Liverpool. Liverpool, Aug. 19. Famine today overhangs the entire city here. The death rate is mounting rapidly.
