LONDON. April 2 - Balloting among the miners on the question of terminating the strike has been com pleted, but official returns will be un- available until tomorrow Apparent ly a majority will be against resump- tion. Under the rule of the miners federation q two thirds majority is necessary to authorize a national strike and the question whether a bare majority will suffice to continue a strike has not arisen before. More than fifty thousand have resumed work. If the decision is against re- sumption, thousands deSirous of working probably will disregard it. King George, Queen Mary and the queen mother contributed five thous- and dollars each to the relief of the widespread distress. Both the presi- dent and secretary of the federation express the opinion the executive committee will decide a two- thirds vote Is necessary to a continuance of the strike and that at d meeting to be held Thursday, the men will be advised to resume.

Non Partisan Election Law Will Serve to Clinch the Victory of
 Yesterday
[ G.ASS0cidfcd Press Dispatch l

MILWAUKEE, April 2.-Dr. c. A. Eadinger. non-partisan candidate for mayor, today defeated Emil Seidel, the socialist incumbent by vote of 42,I17 to 30,20O. Of 33 aldermen elected, 26 are non partisan and seven socialists. With four socialists hold-over aldermen, the new council will be composed of 26 -partisans and eleven socialists.
 Milwaukee voters not only swept from office the city's widely known socialist administration but installed a non- partisan mayor and board Of aldermen, d county board of super visors, and probably eliminated every national political party from partici- patton in future municipal elections in Wisconsin. For, as d result of the non partisan victory. in the city, the state legislature. at d special ses- sion soon to be convened. is expected to pass a distinctly non-partisan city election statute.
 The socialists defeated such a measure at the last session, but to- days rout is said practically to have killed the socialist strength in the state general assembly. Widespread interest in the fight to unseat the socialist administration is indicated by the unusually heavy total vote of nearly eighty thousand. The highest previous total vote cast at d munich pal election was slightly under sixty thousand when Seidel was elected.
