Upwards of three quarters of a million coal miners had Jaid down their tools and gone on strike by two o'clock yesterday after- noon when the day shift in the mines ended. The army of strikers swelled hourly throughout the morning when t became known. that no settlement had been reached. The Premier and hig colleagues in the cabinet, officials of the Board of Trade, and other per- sons having influence with the coal owners and miners, were this morn- ing making a final attempt to avert a national coal strike in Great Bri- tain, There is, however, only the faintest hope of such success. In the meantime miners throughout the country Were preparing to quit work so that before night, unless some unexpected change comes over the situation, more-than a million men and boys now employed in the mines, will be idle, and tens of thou- teands ot other trades will be forced into a-similar condition.

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 29. Traffic manager of the Nortk western Railroad reports serious car shortages that may mean a great blockade at the head of the likes before the season of navigation opens. W. 1. Martin of the Soo Road,, said today that his line had 12,000 box cars in the south and east, but despite this shortage about 300 carloads of Sas- Katchewan grain have been moved through the Twin Cities co the Atlantic seaboard, This makes it appear every effort is-being made to forestall filling of storage space at the head of the lakes. According to Mr. Martin, shipping of Western Canada grain has hoisted much new business upon the railroads. Special rates were made to allow Western Canadian farmers to ship their wheat, barley and flax eastward Into the States for export or for con- sumption here with duty paid: Elevator men at Duluth and Super- ior are complaining that they are: un- able to obtain sufficient cars to move dry Matter Up Before be Introduced.
