BRITAIN FACES WORST CRISIS IN INDUSTRY
POWER CUT CAUSED BY CRITICAL SHORTAGE OK FUEL LONDON. Feb. 8.—(UP) — Great Britain entered her worst industrial crisis since the 1926 general strike today. Ministry of Fuel officials worked nightlong, implementing the government’s unprecedented decision to cut off the electricity supply entirely from greet .segments of the nation’s industry Monday and curtail lighting in homes and stores. Approximately 25.000,000 persons xvill be directly affected by the power cuts. Between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 workers will be thrown temporarily out of their jobs Monday. The unemployed roll will rcacli 5.000,000 if the cuts last throughout next week. Minister of Fuel Emmanuel Sshinwell told Commons yesterday the cut would last "certainly not longer than a week.” The power cut is caused by a critical shortage of coal to feed the electric power plants in the London area, southeast and northwest England and the mid-
lands.
