Coal strike and Irish dispute overshadow talks in Parliament

International fronts show Wrangel's retreat in Crimea, the Little Entente aligning for defense, and shifts in Italian and Polish positions. Secretary Houston warns taxes unlikely to fall, urges thrift campaigns, and notes weak War debt prospects amid ongoing economic strain.
