condition tor a resumption ot work
when the strike Is ended, all the mines
were idle Monday.
Sunday, however, In the view ot a
large portion ot the populace, was not
a good day on which to form concise
judgment ot the potentialities of the
strike.
A feeling ot pessimism prevails not
withstanding the fact that Premier
Lloyd George has stated that every
thing will be done to keep the great
Industries of the country going. To

the railway men and the transport
workers the other two wings of la
