y f: X BRmSR INDUSTRIAL DISTURBANCES NOW IN PROCESS OF SEHLEMENT Report of Coal Commission Granting Miners Two-Thirds of Their Demands Accepted by Government. A despatch from London says: â€" ' Andrew Bonar Law, the Government spokesman, in a statement in the j House of Commons, said that the Government accepted the report of : the special coal commission, lof which Justice Sir John Sankey is chairman, including its undertaking to report on the question of nation- alization by May 20, and to issue interim reports from time to time on Ae problem of improvements in the coal industry. Porposals of this nature would be put into immediate operation de- clared Mr. Bonar Law. This involved the continuance of coal control for two years. With reference to the Sankey re- port, which, he explained, was sign-; (id by thrse representatives of the employers not directly concerned in the coal industry and ganted the miners two-thirds of their demands I in wages. Mr. Bonar Law said that ; the slg^ner:, of the report recommended a further reduction in hours in 1921, because by then the output of 1913, namely 287,0C0,0QP tons, will be re- suraed. The estimated cost of what was recommended wn for the cur- rent year, £43,000,000. It was proposed that the profits of the eoai masters should be limited to fourteen pence per ton. Taking all things into consideration, the esti- mated cost to the taxpayers would be nearly £30,000,000. Mr. Bonar Law also announced that the employers had made what \ he himself and the Labor Minister j considered reasonable proposals to the transport workers, and he had reason to believe that these would prove acceptable to the men.

BRITISH AVIATORS ' TO CROSS ATLANTIC A despatch from London says: â€" British avaitors are to try for a flight across the Atlantic. A secret- ly built airplane, accompanied by Harry Hawker as pilot, and Com- mander Mackenzie Grieve, Royal' Navy, as navigator, has been shipped froni England for St. John's, New- foundland, where it will start at the earliest possible moment in an at- tempt to win the Daily Mail prize of £10,000 for the first machine to fly across the Atlantic. The machine is a Sopwith two- seater biplane, with a 375 horse- power engine. The fusilage is boat- shaped, and will support the machine, in the water. I Pilot Hawker said he believed that the flight would occupy about 19'-! ' hours. The machine, he added, had flown 900 miles in nine hours and five; minutes on one-third of its petrol- capacity, and is capable of maintain- ing a speed of 100 miles an hour for 25 hours. Harry G. Hawker won the British Michelin prize for 1912 by a flight of eight hours and 23 minutes. He has made many long-distance flights, along the British coast. He estab- lished a world's altitude record of 2S,500 feet in 1916. ' NEW REVOLlinONARY GOVLRNMENT MAKES .ALLIANCE WITH BOLSHEVIKI Allied Troops Being Rit^hed Into AiTected Area â€" Red Russian Troops Reported at Tarnopol, Fourteen Days' March From Budapest. Budapest, March 22. â€" The Hungar- ian Cabinet, headed by Count Michael Karolyl, resigned on Saturday, leav- ing the Government to the proletar-; iat. This action was taken after: Count Karolyi had communicated to \ the Cabinet the Entente note outlin-j ing the new boundary between Hun- gary and Roumaniia. .\fter advising Colonel Viss, commander of the French troops of occupation, of the i decision of the Cabinet, Count Kar- ^ olyi then resigned in his turn. \ A revolutionary govemm.ent of the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Council was then formed. -Alexander Gorbai assumed the Presidency. Bela Kun became Foreign Cominissar>\ and Joseph Pogany, War Commissary. The new Hunrrarian Government has proclaimed solidarity with the Russian Soviet Government and an armed alliance with the proletariat of Russia, and Kun has applied to Len- iiie for assistance. .A.S soon as the Hungarian Cabinet headed by Count Karoly.i resigned. the governing party proclaimed mar- tial law throughout the entire coun- ' try. Under the title of ''Hungarian So- cialist party." the Socialists and Communists have combined and will , administer the country. The Government is reported to be signing a proclamation acknowl- edging a state of war between Hua-| gary and the Entente. j A mob stormed the post office and military buildings and destroyed the Honved monuments. Red Russian troops are reported to have arrived at "Tamopol. Al: the Budapest news- papers have oeaseii publication. London, March 23. â€" .\!lied troops in the past few days have occupied; the greater part of Hangarj-. with the exception of Budapest and the s-Jirrounding distr.icts, for the pur- pose of suppressing plundering by Bjlsheviki gangs and restoring order,: according to a despatch from Vienna to the Exchange Telegraph by way of Copenhagen. The Csecho-Slovak Gov- ernmnt is preparing to issue a mob- ilization order. Allies and Bolsheviki Hurrying Preparatior.js For Big Conflict. A despatch from Arcbangtj^says: â€" Patrol activity has increa.-ied con. siderably along the Volbgda railway a.nd on the Dvina front. On both sectors the Bolsheviki have been defeated by the allied and Amerieau troops. A small Bolshevik raiding party, making its way over the snow, sur- prised an allied artillery position in the forests near the Vologda railway. .\lter considerable fighting in the darkness the raiders were repulsed, leaving a number of dead behind. Following up last Friday's suc- cess on the Dvina, when the Amer- icans and Russians repulsed a raid against the aJlied lines of commun- ication, an American patrol party on Friday encountered a Bolshevik pa- trol in a wood. A number of the Bolsheviki were killed and the others in the party were made prisoner. As the winter has been unusually mild in north Russia, it is expected that within a month the thaws will come to make extensrv-e land fight- ing impracticable. The Bolsheviki will have a big advantage when the rivers open. The Dvina and Vaga Rivers will be navigable near the fighting front before the Dvina is opened further north around .Ajch- angel. This condition would permit the Eo!she^vk gunboats which have spent the winter at Krasno-borsk and Kotlas t^ reach the vicinity of Beresniki before the allied river flo- tilla can steam southward to meet them. Efforts are Wieing made, however, to speed up the arrival of the allied fleet in the fighting zone in order to confine the Bolshevik advantage to tlie shortest time possible. In the meanti'me. as long as the present cold weather continues, it is a race against time to move over the snow before the thaw comes sufficient big guns and ammunition to hold die enemy boats in check until the allied vessels can move southward. In this work the allied transport service is performing a stupendous task in spite of the shortage of hay and oats, which has weakened the horses for the long hauls over the snow and added greatly to the difficulties a' the situation. v_ 18 German Ships Clear From Hamburg Port Alone Berl."n. March 23.â€" Up to s^ven} o'clock last evening eighteen ships 1 had cleared from Hamburg, includ- ing the Patricia, Santa Cruse. Cor-| dova, Kigonia, Klevelarffl and Cap; Finisterre. i Many other vessels are manned [ and coaled and ready to sail to-day.' The example of the Hamburg seamen j in proceeding to sea. it is believed here, will have a good effect on the other Hanseatic and Baltic seamen.

The s.ituation is not reganled as present- ing any militiiry danger. The Turkish flag is reported to be flying in some villages of Beheira Provir.cf. There are no reports of any casualties having been suffered by the milit^iry. but some prominent native officials and several Egyptian polict have been killed. Riots Bt Cairo and Tanta on March 12 were suppressed by troops and the police. The disorders in Egypt have been ascribed to the activities of the Nationalist leaiders, several of whom have been deported. Suspension Bridge to be Built Over the Bosphorus at Constaniinople. j A despatch from Paris says: â€" -A. fast train service from Paris to Southeastern Europe to replace the famous Orient express, it became known, was discussed at a meeting this week of diplomatic representa- tives of Great Britain, Belgium, S^witzerland, Italy, Serbia.

March 23. â€" Because o^ the huge increase in the cost of ship pro- duet-on. the grsat British companies have decided not to lay down the keels of any giant liners, like the .A.quitania, for seme months to come.

The world shortage o' tonnage and the use of the greater part of it up to next autumn for transjiorting troops is causing an acute world sit- uation even for the most legitimate travel. There is little, if any. relie in transatlantic passenger .condition The .'Vmerican Consulate General is turr'ng away hundreds who want tc go to the Orient through .-Vmerica, so that there may bo tonnagre to enable .\raerican civilians t^ return home. This is arousing considerable feeling among business men, for one British line to the Far East has every berth booked for a year. Scores of vessels, it is asserted, must be overhauled after they are released by the Gov- ernment before resuming ordinary passenger traffic. » St^rt the pendulum.
