THEY MAY COMPROMISE:

German Miners and Their Employers Like
~ to Reach II Satisfactory Agreement.
BERLIN, May 17.-Etforts to arrive at
compromise in the miners strike are pro-
ceeding so satisfactorily that it is thought
probable general resumption of work will
take place by Tuesday.
The Emperor in an address to delega-
ton of employers, said that the main point
seemed to him to be to bring the strikes to
an end, leaving the question at issue to
be settled while peace and order pre-
vailed and while production was proceed
ing. He had spoken plainly to the
workmeu on the subject warning them
to hold aloof from Socialist intrigues
''Telegrams from Westphalia," he added,
announce that my words have been favor
ably received. The healthy patriotic feel
ing manifested by the workmens del
egation inspires me with confidence
that they will do all possible to
bring their comrades back to work as
soon as possible. I have urged the mining
companies to maintain henceforth as close
touch as possible with their workmen.
nm anxious that the dispute be brought to
favorable issue" The Emperor also evinced
very kind disposition toward the work
men and said he hoped the companies
would consider their welfare.
After the audience aconference was held
between delegates of the miners and Herr
Hammacher, member of the Reichstag, who
represented the mine-owners. The result
was provisional agreement on basis of
eight hours work per day, exclusive OF the
time occupied in descending and ascending
pits; the abolition OF compulsory over
time, and an increase OF wages according
to local circumstances. The directors OF
the Weimar collieries have convened q
meeting for Saturday to consider the pro-
posed settlement.
Hundreds OF the striking miners at Essen
have been sworn in as special police at
their own request in order to keep their
fellow workmen from rioting and thus
spelling their hopes of the mine-owners'
concession. Many of the miners at Dort-
mund resumed work Thursday without OPP
position from the strikers. The owners are
now treating with the men and the strikes
will probably soon be settled.
