LONDON, April 8. (By the Asso
ciated Picbh) The intention of the
British government to issue an ap
peal for volunteers fr transport and
other essential services, in view of the
prospective triple alliance striko was
announced in the house of commons
today by Mr. Lloyd George, the prime
minister. A royal proclamation
would call up the army and navy re
serves, he said.
The government Intends to enroll
special constables and form a spe
cial emergency for a period of 90
days to protect the police in the exe
cution of their duty, the prime min
ister auuea.
After recounting the day's events
from which he drew the conclusion
that the miners' federation's deter
mined to allow the mines to go to de
struction in the belief that by such
a'ction it will he able to Intimidate
the nation into surrender, Mr. Lloyd
George declared ti was the duty of
the government, as trustees of the
nation, to prevent this catastrophe.
He then announced the measures to
be taken and read the king's emer
gency proclamation.
J. Austen Chamberlain, the gov
ernment leader in the house, moved
that the king's message be taken un
der consideration Monday. Amid
cries of "tomorrow," the motion was
agred to and the house adjourned.
LONDON, April. 8. (By tho Asso
ciated Press) The railway men and
transport workers this evening de
cided to striko in sympathy with the
miners Tuesday morning, falling the
reopening of negotiations fo a set
tlement of the coal strike.
Last night's decision by the premier
at the suggestion of the more mode
rate labor interests, to invite the min
ors and owners to a conference this
morning at which the first subject for
discussion would be the resumption
of pumping to clear the mines uf
water, led the general public to be
lieve a settlement was in sight 'ind
ty "' the impending strike, promising
S,. be the greatest in the history of
, the country, would bo averted.
Miners Adament.
The miners, however, were ada
mant In their stand, insisting there
should be no restriction regarding the
questions to be discussed by the con
ferees, and an exchange of letters be
tween them and Mr. Lloyd George
failed to change their, attitude.
The government was Just as firm in
Its view that the threatened destruc
tion of the mines by flooding should
be first considered. . - . .
Thus early this afternoon it came
to be known that a deadlock had been
w.nr.hcH nnl that flnnnrnntlv nnthlnf
short of a backdown by the govern
ment, could avert the industrial up
heaval. The triple alliance, which
has now taken over command of la
bor's side of the controversy, has a
membership of 800,000 miners, 300,
000 railway men and 250,000 trans
port workers. t
Young Men Lead.
The leadership of the strike will be
in the hands of the younger men, who
brought about the present situation in
the belief that the reduction of wages
which the miners were asked to ac
cept, would also be forced upon the
other workers should the miners'
strike fail. ,
The mine owners were In waiting
throughout the day to meet the
miners and they were still at the
board of trade when the news of the
break reached them.
Considerable opposition to the
strike; amongst the rank and file of
the railway men appeared today. The
