London, April 3. The Government has decided that miners striking are not entitled to the unemployment allowances, on the ground that un-attracted a large crowd to Happy employment arises out of a trade dispute. Meetings of Railwaymen at Birmingham, Newcastle, Derby, Romford. Sheffield, and Leeds and of the Southern Federation, the last-named representing 100,000, to-day passed a resolution in favour of supporting the miners. Most of the resolutions indicated support even to striking.

All Means of Transport Must be Stopped."

London, April 3.

At meetings of the transport works and railwaymen in London and other centres to-day, the speakers strongly favoured action in support of the miners, declaring that if other unions allowed the

miners to be beaten they would be attacked and beaten in turn.

Mr. Cramp, Secretary of the Railwaymen's Union, said at Birmingham that if he felt that the Triple Alliance were solid, he would do his utmost to get every man to stop work immediately; It was an heroic thing to lead men to battlo, hut foolish to lead then into a ditch. For success all means of transport must be stopped.

Orders restricting the consumption of coal have been issued, Domestic supplies are limited to 1 cwt, weekly and industrial con- sumption generally to half the normal.

INDIA'S NEW VICEROY."

Lord Reading's Hopes.

Bombay, April 3, Lord Reading's reception was one of the finest accorded to any Viceroy, being marked by booming guns and huge cheering crowds. The Corporation's Address of Welcome alluded to the ancient race to which the Viceroy belonged. I replying thereto Lord Reading wondered whether perhaps by some fortunate and almost indefinably subtle subconsciousness his descent might quicken and facilitate his understanding of the aims and aspirations, joys and sorrows of the Indian people and assist him to catch the almost inarticulate cries and inaudible whispers of multitudes who some- times suffer most, yet find it difficult, if not impossible, to express their needs.

DESPERATE TURCO-GREEK ENCOUNTER.

Greeks Capture Hill, but Casualties Heavy.

Constantinople, April 3.

A desperate Turco-Greek struggle is proceeding in North Eskistenr, Anatoli. The Turks are in a strong position between Bozeyuk and Kovalitsu, where they have concentrated their main force of about twenty thousand. They are well supplied with artillery and ammunition, including several 6-in howitzers, which are well served. The Greek left wing is held up, but the right, after thres days' fighting, captured Kovalitsa Hill and forced back the Turkish left. It is reported that the Greek casualties total seven thousand.

CHINESE LEGATION AT ROME.

Thieves Disappointed.

Rome, April 3

Thieves visited the Chineso Legation last night and opened a case belonging to the Charge d'Affaires. Mr. Tang, which had contained a box of ancient jewellery valued at a million lire, but fortunately the box had been removed for sale custody. The thieves searched many rooms and stole several valises, hoping that they contained valuables. but abandoned them in the garden after opening. The police think that they will soon be able to arrest the thieves.

RESTORATION OF DEVASTATED AREAS.`

Labour International's Proposals.

Amsterdam, April 4.

The Conference of the Second Labour International passed a resolution with the concurrence of the German delegates in favour of the immediate restoration of the devastated regions by means of international loaus, which Germany should undertake to repay in thirty annuities. Other indemnities should be fixed in accordance with German prosperity, with a sliding-scale based not only upon exports, but upon internal taxation compared with other countries.
