Il was partly because Of the issuance Of
this manifesto that President Whitman
requested Bachini's resignation.

President Whitman will be forced to re
sign. and they prophesy the hasty re-
turn of ex-President Ordonez. The gov

grave industrial disturbance seems al
most inevitable Again and again dur
ing the last year disputes have threat
ened to lead to great strikes. and each
time at the very last moment. or even
after short periods of stoppage. an agree
ment has been patched up. but each in
cident has shown more clearly that the
trouble was deep seated and that the
general dissatisfaction was seeking some
outlet for the criticism of the detailed
arrangements
The South Wales miners are at this
moment thoroughly out of hand. They
will not listen to- their own leaders. will
not accept any reasOna BILE compromises
and will not abide by the agreements
which have been made.
Tomorrow twelve thousand wOrkmen
of the Cambrian combination will cease
work and an attempt is being made to
bring out the miners in Rhymney Val
ley in sympathy If this should succeed
the total number of miners on strike in
South Wales will be over thirty thou
