Day London. May 13—Britain today awoke to the realization that the industrial "peace'' which was celebrated yesterday was not "peace" after all.

It is hinted that the miners may even go so far as to withdraw from the trades union congress. Londoners are dismayed today to discover that a wave of the hand and a few words on a scrap of paper announcing the eml of the general strike were not sufficient to restore INI El) OX PAGE I’OIK) OEvansville Child Dead As Result of Auto Mishap Evansville.
