i WORKING PEOPLE GIVE UP HOLIDAYS London, Aug. 7, 11:40 a. m. With the exception of a portion of the coal miners of South Wales and the cotton brokers of south Lancashire, the British working people loyally accepted ac-cepted the declaration of the government govern-ment that holidays should be post- UUil poned until tho demand for munitions was not urgent. The South Wales miners unions decided early last week to observe today "Bank Holiday" Holi-day" one of Great Britain's national holidays as usual but later rerorsed their decision upon representations by the authorities that coal was necessary nec-essary to continue working of the munition mu-nition factories. Despite this decision, holiday bookings book-ings this morning broke all records. Thousands of miners and their families fami-lies left for the seaside, a step which means that many mines will be worked work-ed only part time for the most of tnis week. In the cities business was carried car-ried on as usual while the munition factories worked at full pressure.
