COAL PORTERS' STRIKE
ARBITRATION SUGGESTED. [PEE PEESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, January 26. The strikers contend that if a partial resumption is permitted for the sake of the hospitals and others institutions, the merchants will be no worse off for the strike, which, moreover, would be speedily defeated owing to the men's broken ranks. Their executive, nevertheless, will consider the hospitals to-day. The strike has led to an enormous demand for briquettes, coke a.nd w r ood. The London Labour, Conciliation and Arbitration Board has offered its services to settle the strike. The employers have announced that they are ready to arbitrate. 1 Tho coal porters and car coal strikers are granting permits to hospitals, but refused the Salvation Army on the ground that it intended to sell ihe coal.
