LABOR STRIKE PARALYZES
THE BRITISH ISLES
100,000 Walk Out ia Belfast Alone;
Movement Continue* to Spread in
Irish Town Despite Efforts of
Shipyard Workers to End
Trouble.
London, Jan. 28.?It is estimated
that nearly 200,000 men and womer
are idle in the United Kingdom anc
Ireland because of strikes in various
trades, creating one of the most ser
ious situations industrially the country
has had to face in many years
Half of of the strikers are in Belfast
where the strike movement is contin
ui?g to spread.
The city of Belfast by night vir
jtually is in total darkness, the hos
pitals being the only place wher<
lights can be shown without dangei
of attacks by strikers. Everywhen
else the display of a light has caus
ed either the stoning or the storm
ing of the premises.
This morning men in various oi
the smaller industrial plants wh<
had remained at work came out foi
saety's Lake, the picketing raving
become more extensive. One of th<
morning newspapers was forced t<
suspend publication. The shipyard
workers are opposed to the strik<
and are endeavoring to arrange i
meeting for Wednesday.
There is no change in the situa
tion on the Clyde where 20,000 ship
- yard workers are out, nor in Lon
don, where 15,000 ship repairers ar<
striking.
To these must be added 24,00(
Fifeshire miners, 6,000 South Wale:
miners, 5,000 Edinburg shipwrights
4,000 Manchester dockers, 4,00(
South Wales shipyard 'men and1 j
number of Glasgow municipal work
ers. * . '
Except in London, where the ques
tion at stake is -one of wages jv al
these strikes are due to a deman<
, .for shorter hours with the sam<
privileges and wages as prevaile*
when longer hours Were worked.

Now is the time to order your gar*den
and flower seeds. If you wait
you may have to take any old

Pdune fruit trees before spraying,
and thus save time, -material and labor.
' i
Put on that winter spray. Use
. commercial lime-sulfer,. one gallon
c" to eight gallons of water.
' It is not too lat<e to order fruit
r trees but soon will be. Include
' some ornamentals to be planted
' about the home grounds.
y Go over the orchard and remove
* dead and decayed branches with a
' sharp saw close to the body of the
li tree.
Have you a hot bed and a cold
frame? They are necessary for an
early start in gardening. Early
vegetables bring highest prices and
* , , , ,
are most enjoyea at nome.
Onion seed may be sown in hot

j Lettuce planted in hot bed or cold

Cabbage plants should be started

J A HALF MILLION
FOR U. S. ARMY
i ?
s Washington, Jan. 31.?An army of
d 1 500,000 men was unanimously de
j cided on today by the house military
e committee as the basis for determin
, ing the appropriation for army pay
j for the year beginning next July.
I, Committee members said that the
ej number was expected to be the avij.
erage force during the year.
gi The decision marked the beginning
li of the committee's work of framing
s the annual military appropriation
!. bill. Members said it had no bearing
s on permanent future military policy,
p and that while pay was figured for
i- a half million merf, it did not follow
0 that appropriations for various branh
ches of service would be such as tp
e provide for an army actually organi[
zed as a permanent force of that
e size.
