HUMAN FACTOR CAUSES ALLIES
TO DESERT COAL
STRIKERS.
By United Press
LONDON, April 18 The bolt of
the triple alliance does not foretell
an early conclusion of the British
mine strike. The British industrial
situation is, still far from settlement.
The miners are determined -that they
may as well starve and play as
starve and work.
These opinions were advanced to
day by J. R. Clynes, chairman of the
British labor party, in an exclusive
statement to the United Press,
By J. R. dynes
LONDON, April 18 The factor
which caused the threatened strike
of the transport workers to break
down is the same which caused the
miners to stop work the human fac
tor.
The human factor forced its way(
through all stages of the dispute and,
finally shook 'the resolve of the men '
who only an hour before were ce-j
mented in what seemed an unbreak
able bond, of union. ;
So while coal miners, stranded and
facing the issue alone, stand amazed
at the suddenness of the. debacle,'
Britain basks after the perils of the
nightmaro through which It has
passed.
Neither the government nor the
public should mistake the failure to
extend the strike as a sign of early
settlement. The miners have a well'
deserved reputation for fighting
tough battles. The miner's working
conditions entitle them to better pay
than pre-war wages. The miners are
not the country's enemies. i

With a v.lew to Strengthening the

of community bettorment, a mass
meeting of men will behold at the
Methodist, church tonight at 8 o'clock'
at which the Rev. Ralph McAfee, ex

eration of churches will outline' the
plan followed in the Roso City. Local
pastors aim to organize a central
council of churches in this city before
the close of the meeting.
It is the belief of local pastors that
several churches working alone am
not meeting their full responsibility
to the community. They believe that
some medium 6f concentrating effort
should be formed. The central council
clearing house is the solution of the
problem they haye hit upon.
Such a central council has worked
'near-wonders in other cities of the
United States. The Portland federa

churches to bear on community llfo
in no small way.
