YOUXG, TEW YORK, Sept. 11 Decision of the miner- federation of Great Britain to strike, not soleJvWar better wages and conditions for them reives, but to force lower prices for the consumer, marks a decisive point In the struggle which has been brew in? between the British government and parliament, on the one hand, and the revolutionary Socialists on the other On the outcome of the struggle thus begun hangs the fate of British in stitutions at home, perhaps the British empire, and in great degree the de velopment of world politics. British ers know that a great crisis is rapidly approaching. The radical r!emenfs In the huge labor unions have been Intensively organizing for the conflict ever since the armistice and have been shrewdly maneuvering for position. The de cision of the miners is an almost conclusive sign that they believe "the day" has arrived for a test of strength with the government. They are aware that a real tieup of the coal mines of the kingdom for lany extended period would brtg wide spread Idleness, disorganization and distress at a moment when the whole empire is strained and conditions at home have reached a critical state. Yet they are pressing the mine strike and demands tn other Industries with a boldness and determination which can bring but on cosehtsion that they think they are strong enough at last to force their Socialistic program through. Strength of the Unions. Here are elements to he considered as labor opens the conflict: The miners federation, 900.90 strong, represents practically 101 percent of the industry, and over two thirds of the members have voted for the strike to enforce the double de mand of higher wages and lower prices. Their ales is to wipe out en tirely the profits of the private' own ers and so compel public ownership, and they have notified the govern ment that the program "must be treated as a single and Inseparable demand." The engineering trades have pre sented fresh demands which the em ployers say they will resist, if neces sary, by shutting down all the works. Shipping interests say the unrest among tne dockers is strangling their industry. The transport workers and railway men are oressine for fresh concessions in the face of big deficits. The two latter have formally backed the miners program. These unions control the Committee of Action called the "Labor General Staff which is able to threaten the government with an order to "down tools by 6,00,000 workers if its be hests are not obeyed.

Jtany veterans of the war are show ing grave disaffection. Almost 200,000 are still unemployed, accord ing to lord Haig, many living on the unemployment dole, and all dissatis fied. The National Union of ex Service Men, a large and frankly So cialist organization, is forwarding a great rent strike and demanding pub lic ownership of all land. In Scot land veterans have been seisins: land all through the northern and western districts and holding it by force. In waies soldiers councils nave been formed on the) Russian plan. Police Organise for Trouble. The government ia preparing for widespread disorder. The police, which had been controled by the local authorities, have been reorgan ized on a federal basis, controled from London, with oro vision to concentrate strong bodies quickly in any part of tne Kingdom. They are being ortuea on army principles and taught to shoot. The employers have also formed a strong central organiza tion and got together forces of their own to guard their properties. The middle classes are alarmed and are forming unions to protect their interests and uphold tne parliamen tary system. More than 150 of these unions With an average membership above 1000 have been organized to fight bolshevism and to 'prevent In dustrial nationalisation and sectional tyranny. Tney are enlisting volun teers to keep necessary utilities and industries going in case of strikes. Working along similar lines is a Lib erty league, with a powerful member ship, whose special work is to fight bolshevism and radical socialism. The worst feature is that the gov ernment Is crippled by the rebellion in Ireland, the serious troubles In Turkey, Egypt and India, the chaos on the continent of uErope which hampers British trade and finance; the serious financial conditions due to the huge debt and other burdens and the impossibility of finding new revenue to meet them satisfactorily. Labor troubles at home wfll aggra vate all these conditions and render more acute the already serious dif ferences within the government It self.
