ONE MILLION MEN
HAVE QUIT WORK
IContinued From Page II

premier said. without any prejudice
Of party or class bias in one direction
or another. Having given the fullest
most careful consideration to the
evidence which the workmcn had
brought before them. the conclusion
they had unanimously come to was
that a case had been made out for in
surfing to the underground workers in
the coal industry. with adequate safe
guards, a reasonable minimum wage.
Already a notwithstanding 60 per
cent of the pal owner of the country
had consented to the governments
proposals. and they did not intend that
the resistance of what he hoped was a
dwindling minority of the employers
should unduly delay the attainment of
an object which I'VE have satisfied
ourselves is consistent with justice and
the best interests Of the community"
The prime minister concluded his
speech with an appeal to the miners
to allow reasonable latitude for dis
cussion with repect to fixing the mini
mum wage for the different districts,
and not to insist upon rigid adherence
to the schedule adopted by the miners
federation. He reminded them that If
they persisted in that course they as
sumed a terrible responsibility. all
though it was obvious that nothing
short of a miracle could avert a ma
tional a strike.
The importance of the coal mining
industry in Great Britain is obvious
from the figures of the production of
1909 when 263.774,312 tons of coal
were produced whose total value at
the pit mouth was s531.374.5O0. The
total number Of persons employed in
and about the mines in the same year
was ~1.O42.435 and of these S1S,3S1
worked underground. On the sur
face a considerable number of women
are employed sorting the coal. these
numbering in 1909 nearly 5000.
The principal districts affected by
the strike are Durham which produces
about 40.00o.0O0 tons a year. York
shire $4,000. 900, Lancashire 23.000.-

14,000.000. Monmouthshire. 13.0O0,-
900 and Nottinghamshire 1900. 600.
The continent of Europe relies to a
large extent on British coal. France
taking a yearly average of 10000. 900
tons. Italy and Germany 5000, 900
each. Sweden nearly 5000. 900, Rus
STA nearly 1000. 900. Denmark, 3,0OO.-
