Workers Minimum Wage
Amendment Is Rejected
by Premier Asquith.
DANGER IN PRECEDENT
Government Preparing to Pro-
teCt Those Desiring to Re-
turn to Places.

London, March 22.-Premier Asquith
in the commons this afternoon re-
fused to accept the miners amend
meut to the minimum wage bill pro-
vidinE a minimum OF S1.25 and so
cents as the daily wage for men and
boys, respectively. Edwards, a labor
member OF parliament and president
OF the Miners federation, announced
the premier's rejection OF the amend
ment closed the door to immediate
settlement of the strike.
SITUATION - GRAVE.
The gravity of the situation is rec
ognized. Because 1t is practically GER
tain of bringing about another dead
lock it caused a sensation among the
members. In opposing the miners
amendment the premier said ii was
most undesirable to establish a prece-
dent OF fixing a rate by act of parlia-
ment. If parliament once expressed
judgment that $l25 was a fair mini
mum wage that sum would be bound
to be treated as a maximum.
PROTECTION ny GOVERNMENT.
Andrew Bonar Law, official leader
of the opposition, said the government
could not have taken any other course.
In case the miners fail to get what
they desire they may refuse to return
10 work, and the government will be
then faced with the necessity of TAX
ing those "other and different meas
ures" forshadowed by the nEsaljer yes
terday, and which it is believed
mean adequate protection for those de-
string to return TO work.
SOME RETURNING TO WORK.
Despite the decisions of the unions
there is already. particularly in Scot
land, steady trickling of miners back
10 the pits. In the meantime the work
of relieving distress is getting beyond
the means of local charities, and de
mands are now being made on the gov
-ernment to take it up. II is estimated
the miners thus far have lost in wages
$26.0O0,000, besides a depletion oi
union funds.
NEGOTIATIONS RENEWED.
The government this evening renew
cd peace negotiations with the Goa
owners and miners. Asquith is tryins
20 induce the owners 10 agree to pa!
the SIPS and so cents minimum wages
and is hoping the men will be conten
with a promise of employers withou
the inclusion of any figures in the min
imum bill.

OUTLOOK Is SERIOUS.
With the anthracite wage dispute
unsettled and with only a months
