Nothing has been heard since the col lapse of Germany of earlier Finnish plans to secure an outlet by the annexa tion of parts of Russian Carella, lying between Finland and the Murman coast, and even of adjacent Flnmark, which belongs to Norway. This contention on tho part of Finland led to the landing ot Allied troops at Murmansk to pre vent tho establishment of a German sub marine base In the northern sea.

All hotel workers will meet this af ternoon to decide whether they shall quit tonight immediately after dinner. The engineers expect to go on strike Thursday for a forty hour week. Electricians Threaten to Quit The electricians also are demanding the same conditions, with alternative or walkout, and twentv-four other trndss unions of skilled and unskilled workers want the shorter hourn and threaten to get them by stopping Industry. Seven thousand miners In the Amman Valley, Carmarthenshire, Wales, struck today In sympathy with tho workers In a neighboring district who had been fined for taking time off to attend the funeral of a fellow- miner, 'A general meting of the miners in the anthracite region is to be convened Thursday to consider the calling of a general strike. Tho presence of largo bodies of troops In Glasgow is believed to Insure a con tinuance of tho present state of order there, but at Belfast the second week of tho strike begins, according to re ports received here, with Increased un easiness, though there are no signs of any disposition on the part of the men to resort to further violence, Londoner VVY.'k to Work The subway strike began hcie this morning, when Londoners found the en trances to tho principal subway stations closed to them, owing to the midnight decision of tho employes not to move train unless a half hour luncheon In terval were allowed In their new eight hour day. The four tubes affected are the Cen tral London tube, which carries a heavy traffic west and east and brings many of the city workers to their businesses i the central tube artery north and south; the city and South London tube, which connects with tho chief railway stations and Piccadilly, and tho Bromptom semi circular system, which carries many thousands of travelers dally.

There were, therefore, only two under ground lines and tho Hampstcad rail ways operating this morning In the dis trict, but, unless tho strike Is settled quick, these lines appear likely to be In tho same position as tho others. Fortunately, the buses and the street cars still were running this morning, but for some time now these means of conveyance havo been unable to copo with the ordinary traffic because of the shortage of buses and cars and of men to operato them. Cabinet Studying Situation The underground railway manage ment, In a statement today, says that although the men now are demanding a thlrty-mlnuto Interval for meal tlmo within the eight-hour day. the agreement made when the eight-hour day was granted provided that the eight hours should be exclusive of meal time, but that a special committee should meet February 12 to deal with nny special points that might arise. The Cabinet has the strike situation always In mind, but the fact' that Premier Lloyd George remains in Paris leads to tho .conclusion In many quarters that the Cabinet members do not con sider the situation as serious as it looks on its face. In Belfast candles havo been used for lighting the last eight days, and most of the public services have been nt a complete standstill. The curtail ment of the fuel supply Is causing con siderable suffering, and an lndenlte pro longation of theso conditions is con sidered Impossible. A dispatch to the Westmnster Gazette says that tho Belfast strike committee Is anxious for peace. The committee Is said to have declared that It will not be Its fault If a conference with the em ployers Is not arranged this week. The employers, however, the dispatch adds, say they can do nothing locally, as the question must be decided by the national organization.

He believes that the present time Is opportune to Interest the peoples of tho world directly In meth ods for the prevention ot war and that tho opportunity should bo Belted. Tho plans thus far suggested provide for the constitution of Judicial tribunals and for the exercise of executive powers by the governments, especially of the great powers.
