...famed naval ratio of 5-5-3 between Britain, the U. S. and Japan, is so drawn that it runs on indefinitely unless denounced by one of the signatories.

Up from the mine they suddenly sent an ultimatum: either the owners raise their pay to $3.50 a week or they would have one good dinner on the ponies and then smash the ventilators. Death by suffocation they preferred to death by slow starvation. The owners replied: "Come out first; argue afterward." The men replied by returning all food and water sent them. Fire broke out in the mines. The Pecs Fire Department rushed in, hosed it out. The miners insisted...
