FOOD FAMINE IN
ENGLAND GAINS:
RELIEF PLANNED
By A, XL Johnson ;
United Kewi Staff CorrasooBdcat
London. April 20. Food kitchens
may be established In the congested
districts of England to , relieve the
acute distress brought about by the
fuel, and food famine which 1 daily
growing more serious.
The cabinet has under consideration a
system" of hot food depots to be estab
lished by the government wherever the
necessity is apparent. ;
Board of trade officials declared to the
United News that the fuel situation is
the most critical in the history of the
nation. i Additional restrictions on the
use of coal are imperative and probably
will go into effect within the next few
days.
Under the most favorable conditions
the miners will not return to the pits
before 10 days unless the strikes suffer
an Immediate collapse, which is not
viewed as probable. No conference is
possible before Saturday. '
Even after the men decide to .return
to work, the resumption of production
will be long delayed. Forty-four pits
are flooded and temporarily unproduc
tive. Some of these may not be cleared
for months,
On the nineteenth day of the strike a
national shortage of more than 12,000,000
tons of coat exists. The government to
day has a supply only for public service,
light transport service, and for sanitary
and medical uses. All unessential in
dustries are ordered to cease operation
for the time being. ,
In the city of London no offices can
be supplied. with fuel and it is expected
that domestic consumption may be for
bidden soon, the government withdraw
ing even its 58 pound weekly allotment.
Plans for setting up the hot food kitch
ens ,for the public have already been
drafted and were scrutinized bythe cabi
net Tuesday.
