Allies
have
the duty
to rep:at
that
the
restoration
of the
Hapsburg’s
would
im-
peril the very foundation
of the peace
and
that it would
be
neither
recognized
nor
tolerated.
The Allied Powers
count
upon
the
Hungarian
Govt,
conscious
of
the
gravity
of the
situation
that
would
be
created
by the
return
to the
throne
of
the former
sovereign,
to take
efficacious
measures
to
suppress
the
attempts,
whose
succ2ss
even
momentarily
could
not
but
have
disastrous
consegquences
for Hungary’’.
This
declaration
will be
telegraphed
to the
Allied High
Commis-
sioner

communicated
officially to the Hungarian
delegation
in

London, April Ist.—All work ceased
in
the
coal
mines
of the
United Kingdom
at
micnight,
with the
exception of
very
few distriets,
and approximately
1,200,000
miners
were
idle today
as a result of the
controversy
over
the
wage
issue.
In
only
two collieries
in Yorkshire,
one
in
Northumberlaund,
one
in
Scotland
and
one
in Wales
the
men have
promised
to
continue at their posts
without prejudice
to
any terms
that may
be
agreed
upon,
but
all other
pit workers including
me-
chanics,
pumpmen,
ventilatingmen
and
ponymen
came
out
with
the
miners.
The
first effect
of the
strike
has
been
the
placing
orders
with
United
States
coal
merchants.
Advices
from
New
York
state
that
a
flood of
orders
from
Furopean
countries,
which
formally
tormed
t.e
British
market,
have
been
reeceived
there,
and
although
the
coun-
try’s
stock
of coal
1s
estimated
at
one
million tons,
rhe price
of household
fuel
"
has
already
risen
two shiilings per
ton.
London
and other urban
cenirves
are
be-
lieved
to have
several
weeks
supply
on
hand,
owing to
the fact that the
export
of
coal has
been
compleiely
stopped
by
the Board of Trade,
except
where special
permits
have
been issued.

London,
Avril Ist.—The
country-wide
cessation
of coal
production
throughout
Great
Britain’s coal area
today,
because
of
the miners
strike,
thus
far
has
not
been
productive
of trouble in
any of
the
mines
where
the enginemen
are reported
to
have stuck
to
their posts
to
prevent
the
pits being flooded.
This
raises
the
belief
in
some
quarters
that
the
fight
will nct
be long, esrecially
as the miners
lack
the funds
necessary
to
continue
a
iong siruggle.

Govt.

be slightly
more
optimistic
regarding
the
situation,
in
view
of the
action of
the
owners and others
in
safe-
guarding
the
pits
from
flooding.
Up
to the present
the order withdrawing the
engineers
and
pumpmen
from
the mines
has
been
largely ignored.
Whether
this
is
with
the
ecdgnizance
of
the
miners
federatior,
leaders,
owing
to
the
gen-
eral
deprecarion
against
removing:
the

the partof

newspapers,
is
not*known,
but
the
general
belief
ex-
pressed
is that
the
men
have
not
been
withdrawn
owing
to a desire
not to
pre-
judice
the
situation,
pending
a
confer-
ence
between
labours

next Wednesday.
Until
then
events
pro-
bably
will mark
time.
A
minor
sequal
to the dispute is that the

The
House

had adjourned

until

Hence,

An important
case
has
been
settied
by
Chancellor P.V.
Smith
in the
Consistory
Court, Ripon.
A petition was presented
by the
people’s
warden
and
four
mem-
bers
of the
Parochial
Church
Council
of
the
Chureh
of
St. James,
Manston,
near
leeds,
praying for the
remeval
of eruci-
fixes
trom
the
church.
Kvidence
was
given that
the Vicar,
the Rev. C. Y. Rus-
sell, had
a erucifix erected
v tront
of the
pulpit, another
in the
south-east
corner
of the nave,
and
a third which
was
add-
ed later,
despite
protests
by the
congre-
gation.
Petiticners
did not
allege ilola-
try, but
contended
that
it
was
agalost
the principles ot
the
Retormed
Church
of England
to use
crucifixes.
Mr. Chan-
cellor
Smith,
giving
judgnient,
said
it
was well known
that
there
are
iwo cur
rents
of opipion in
the Church
as
1o the
use
of
symbols.
Persons
whe
found
- them
stimulating
were ilgnt

them
in

thne
Cnurcn
was
the
Chureh
of all, and stumbl
ng-biocks
must
not be
placed
in
ihe
way of
those
to
whom symbols
were
objectionabie.
The
Viear
must give

for the general good. The offend'ny cruci-
fixes
must
be removed,
