The Prime Minister on Saturday issued an appeal to the

nation to resist the attack of the miners who, having refused arbitration or higher wages in return for higher output, were attempting to gain their ends by force. All citizens must help each other to lessen the inconvenience and suffering which the strike would cause. There was a sufficient supply of coal for the public ser- vices. Manufacturers must try to make their coal last as long as possible, so as to keep their men employed. " We have been through much more difficult times," Mr. Lloyd George added. " With a steady purpose and a determination to do justice, the nation will overcome all its difficulties."
