GREAT COAL STRIKE SCHEDULED Nearly One Million Men and Boys to Csase Work In the Mines of Great Britain. London, -t-Varlou miners' unions throughout Great hrk-Tave been st-ndlnK formal notices to the coal mine owner notifying them that the it; en will quit work ou March 1. Practically Prac-tically all of the 850.000 men and boys employed underground have notified the employers of their intention to strike. In addition to the underground employees there are 200,000 surface workers, making a total of more than a million mm who will quit work twelve days hence. It Is now admitted on all sides that little hope remains of averting what promises to be the not serious labor disturbance in British Brit-ish history. The newspapers and public pub-lic men are making frenzied appeals to the government to stop the strike, but nobody seems to have a clear Idea of what the government can do.
