London,
Oct.
16th.—The
eessation
of
coal
mining through
the country
seems
complete,
for
although
the
miners
in
some
districts appeared
to have
enteresl
the strike in
a half-hearted
manner there
is no
sign yet of any -break in the
ranks
of
the
men
and
consequently
the
dis-
location
of the
country's
industry
is
becoming
widespread,
nor is
there
any
indication
of mediation
growing
out
of
today’s
various
conferences,
all
parties
apparently
awaiting
the
re-assembling
of Parliament
tomorrow
when
it is
ex-
pected-
the discussion
of
the
strike
will
displace
the Irish
Home Rule Bill
which
was
the first schedule-
before the
House
of
Commons.
The
strike
will hit
the
iron,
steel and cotton
industries
serious-
ly.
The
great
blast
furnesses
in
Mid-
delsborough
district are already beginning
to
damp down and thousands
of furnace
men
and
steel
workers
are
idle.

three-sided
distriet provided
