BY E.UII.E C BEEVES TlTxZf?0RRESP0NDENT I. N. SERVICE ' LO.VDOX Oct. 22 The most gigantic lMuatriai tie-up that any great country has aver known menaced Great Britain today as a result of the threat of tha railwaymen and the transport workers to Join tha coal miners in a general strike unless the government takes decisive steps within 4S hours to end the walk-out In the coal fields. E.GU.D IDLE THE.V. A general strike by the "triple alliance" miners, railroad men and transport workers would call out nearly 2.500,000 men In addition to throwing hundreds of thousands of other workers Into Involuntary idleness. Premier Lloyd George and the cabinet discussed the situation today and were maklr. vigorous efforts to create a foundation upon which to open negotiations to end the coat strike and prevent a spread cf the strike to the rail men and the dock workers. The "ultimatum" to the British gov-! ernment. threatening a strike of railroaders and dock workers was served by J. H. Thomas, secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen and Robert Williams, secretary of the Federation of Transport Workers. "The crisis has been reached." declared Thomas. "We are giving the government until Sunday night to end the coal strike or take new definite steps for the calling of a conferencs hich will suarantee Its end." GOVERNMENT MIST ACT. Williams, tpeaking in behalf of the dock workers, said the men had decided to Quit work unless the government acted for Industrial peace by Sunday morning. Unofficial estimate of the number of men directly Involved In a general strike cf the "Tripln Alliance" wort-: Coal miners and helpers, 12c'' o. Railway employes, 650,000 to Toy.O'iO. Dock workers. 350.000. j Fears that the struggle will develop! into an "indutral revolution" wlth den-ancis for the c.mplete nationalization cf orfln branches of industry, rr.tably the mines and railways, were i&ifcnslfled by the nction of the railway r-eu and the transport workers. If the rail men and the dock workers make the tie-up complete, Great Britain Is threatened with & suspension of rail traffic, tnaritlrre traffic and an absolute stagnation of all factories as well as a fuel famine and an acute food shortage. mKMIFR IS H OPEFl'L, Premier Lloyd George was hopeful that a way would be found out of the grave difficulty, but he admitted that the situation had been rendered desperately eerious by the action of the railroad and dock employes by deciding upen a sympathy strike. It Is estimated that about 250,000 workers outside of the coal fields, including 75.000 dock emplocs. have al ready been forced into idkneys by th-; coal strike which closed down factories and compelled a curtailtnen of rail traffic and maritime shipping scheduled.

Froehel Is t planning to send at least ;on fan? ; along with the t"am. ( Last veer's game with Froebel wa.4 a walk away fir Hammond, but the Industrial warriors are xpcjtin no snap th.s fail. Their scouts have brought back fearsome talcs of :he revival which has tak.-n p'ace at Fr lel under the direction of Coach Veenyeenkcr. As Hammond s ca- a U$t year h, produo.a a winning team au i brought them through claiming the a : nil n g , state chami'ior.ship. Vcenker also knows Hammoroi. ho is tnoroughly acquainted with the men on this i ear's team. lie realizes that Froebel has a stiff Job ahead. The, two teams have little, on which to base any ation as to their, relatlvo strtr.gth. They have n t played the same team th.'s season and the only dope available is that gleaned from watching the two teams in th.-r various games. This !s practica'ly worthless because Froebe! has bc'n taking it easy, uncovering a.? little strategy as possible and Hammond i never played a game with all of V.r regulars :n the lineup. Housley. Howell and Evans. late of the hospital squad are all back in the togs for Hammond tomorrow. Thy will furnish a backfleld which should function perfectly. Coach Hess ha been working them back Into the game gradually until the f.rs-t c-X the week when he opened up the old gruelllnn scrimmage practice again. Tbe former cripples showed they had entirely recovered and are now as good as new. In spite of the apparent ease with which the lads worked the forward pass game against Kankakfo Saturday. Hess has continued to drill his stars on this Itno of attack. At the same time he has perfected the machine on straight and fancy line work. Hammond will go Into the game with the trick bag well filled. Nothing will be uncovered though until Froebel has been felt out thoroughly. Nothing will be divulged for the benefit of Emerson scouts unnecessarily. One of the big features of tomorrow's game will bo the presence of the Chicago Daily News band whieh will furnish 'music before and during the game and will accompany the Hammond battle songs. Tonight the fctudentsr will hold the usual pep meeting at the athletic fletd in order to get the proper amount of enthusiasm btlrred up for tomorrow's contest. WOMAN JURY IN QUICK VERDICT Trial Consumes Day, But Women Speed up Their Task A jury of women again demonstrated their ability to reach a quick decision yesterday In the , East hicago city court vheri a verdict was returned for the plaintiff after the jury had been out only about ten minute?!. Tha trial of the caso consumed the greater part cf the day. but throughout the Jurors paid Mrkt attention to all thft details and apparently did not lose interest. The evidence in the case showed that mony had been received by John Cosma from John Sawi for transmission to Kurore and that he in turn had pjven it to the International Exchange i Hang of Chicago who had sent th tno- ' ney through a New Tork b;mk. The ilei fense was based upon th fact that the plaintiff did not show conelnsiv rroof that the money hail not I cm delivered and that is Cusma wre to ri turn the money at this time he should return 1; a, the current rate of exchange. At cuiiem rai 01 e.f"iiange Uo rum- i ber of kronens which could have be-n purchased in 131t for f 200 would ii"w be worth about $5 and this amount, the defense maintained, would be the. rightful return. J. 1C Reppa, president of the East Chicago State" Bank and Attorney W. A. Fuzy, both well informed on foreign exchange, were witnesses. The six women who were selected to serve on the Jury were: Mrs. E. N. Canine, forewoman; Mrs. W. W. Smith, Mrs. Frank Dixon, Mrs. E. J. Jenktns. Mrs. A. J.

N',, oil" yei. c-cen ; i:na who actually saw, the blow struck but their testimony' staits when thj lctim sia;;s;'r-U back-1 ward, caught his heel on the sidewalk j cuib and fell. The back of his head1 struck the pavement win a sickening thud and the man never moved after: that. The crowd immediately scattered andi "hen poilce arrived 1.0 one was there! who could tell how It. happened. TluJ stricken man was rushed to the hos-j pital where it was found he had suffered a bad fracture at the base of thei skull. He Is still unconscious and scant' hopes are held for hi srecovery. Efforts at identifying the stranger have been futile. Not a mark of identification could be found on his clothing. He is apparently about thirty-five years old. The Incident occurred at the intersection of Calumet and Plummcr avenues at 8:20 o'llock and the crowd fit this point was augmented by the fact that a Michigan Central train was passing.: holding up traffic. Some claimed to have seen a man running away just before the stranger fell but It seems that everybody In th Immediate vicinity - was making an effort to get away at about the same time. Bruises on the man's face Indicate that he was strurk a severe blow.

Although the truck floor Is about four feet above tho ground r.o skMs were used in unloading the whippet. Tho car was simply run to th'j vacant lot at the rear of the Hammond building where the tank driver simply backed his pet right off onto the ground v ith a '!am and bang.

This will permit the entire street being used by the crowd in watching the free shows and 'o" the dancing which follows. With blaring herns and showers of confetti, with the unintelligible jargon of scores t-f hawkers, vending thejr carnival wares, hilarious shouts and laughter of the merrymakers, mingle 1 with the music of brass bands, jazz orchestras and sideshow entertainers. Greater Hammond's Fall Festival ushered in last night. For an opening session it broke all records. Thousands packed the streets around the stand on which, the free cxhibitions were given; more tfcous&nfls flocked into the other shows aJong the street, and still more thousands fwrneei the surging throng which trooped from one end to the other of tha carnival limits.
