will be forwarded to the general secre-
tary and the result OF the election will
be made known at the national confer
ence which is to assemble in Birming-
hGm next Thursday.
Though hopes are still expressed that
the threatened strike may be ayerted,
there is no denying the fact that the
outlook is causing much uncasiness.
Two months remain to the peacemak-
ers, as the present agreement between
the miners and operators will not ter
inmate until the end of February.
The question of minimum wage is
the bone of contention. The miners
appear To be determined i'm their de-
mand that such a clause shall be in
cOrporated i'm the next agreement The
great majority of the mine owners. on
the other hand. are strongly opposed to
IT, and they argue that the granting
of the mems demands would lead at
once to the closing of many collierles
which are at present being worked on
n small margin of profit.
