COAL! COAL!! COAL!!!

WAKE UP ENGLAND! [To Thb Editob Stratfokp PotT.) Sir- Your leader o flast night gava me much pleasure in reading, but you do not go far enough. You say:—There must be found some way of 'ending the strike, which is now maintained by a small section in callous disregard of the loyal worker iu. England, France and Russia ,ete., etc., and finish up by saying that their action, when coal is required for the Navy and for the munition factories of Britain and her Allies, is "little short of fratricide." It is not a "little shorf'of fratricide; is is absolutely fraticide itself. While our gallant bovs are pouring out their "HfeMood" to save the Empire from being overrun by a "host of savages" to whom the word "civilisation' w quite unknown, these discontents (in spite of increased wages) turn round •md say—You shan't have the coal 'vol need until our full demands are' granted And England allows it. I am ob«v a «orker myself, Mr Editor, b „t 1 have the knowledge that in my "little linger" there is more patriotism than in the whole of their "rumw carcase*-" This is no time to be ..vibbling over half pennies mora , v „Ves. or half h«?urs ™ ore wO,k \ n,t it I a time when every Britisher sho „*d be. and must i i • 1 England is pverv nerve and muscle Jl v '"~\ ,lu ' • »T«n I)o»'. You uoiii"- to remain "lop v" u ~- do not suggest, Mr Editor, a method 0 f dealing with these scoundrels," so let rue it: That England wakes up .she's' ljeeu asleep long enough), secures *« "heads" (whoever they may lie. -whether'in the pay of Germany or not) responsible for these unpatriotic and murderous outbursts, tie them to the muzzle of a |»ig-gun and "let her go." I That would stop it, and stop it quicktlv. Relieve me Sir. there will he a [terrible "washVup" after this war is Lor. ami nuuuv of the so-called "Heads of Departments" will be com- | polled to lace the music. For England's sake, the sooner the better. |So. Wake up England!. Thaiikitifi ivou for space. 1 •""• etc. . PATRIOT.
