STRIKE
OF Miners Looked For In
Great Britain
The Outlook Is Causing Much
UnpaSinCSS
Canvass Of Vote To Be
Made Today

London. Jan. 1S-A special confer
ence of the Miners Federation of
Great Britain assembled today in Bir-
mingham to canvass the vote cast by
the membership last week on the
strike proposition. The outlook is
causing uneasiness In many quarters,
for the belief prevails that the count
will show an overwhelming majority
in favor of the stoppage Of work. The
leaders of the miners. organization
continue to voice their opposition,
but the rank and file of the member
ship is believed to favor extreme
measures to enforce their demands
and the organization itself will be
obliged to abide by the vote OF the
men.
A general strike Of the coal miners
will mean the most serious industrial
disturbance that the United Kingdom
has experienced since the dispute in
the engineering trades nearly a quar-
ter of century ago. The total output
of the mine amounts to about 725,00O
tons a day. 1t is calculated that there
is about three weeks supply Of coal
in stock.
The miners are in better condition
now to engage in a finish fight than
they ever were before Their orgahi-
zation is one of the strongest labor
bodies in the country, both numeri-
caliy and financially. The reserve
fund of the federation at the present
time is believed to amount to 100000
900 or more. What the miners are ca
pable of when they get their backs to
the wall was shown in 1893, when
250,0 of them laid down their picks
and shovels and remained in idleness
for seventeen weeks rather than sub
NIT to rs per cent reduction in their
wages, although they had nothing like
the accumulated funds they have now
The demand of the men for min
imum wage is practically the sole
point at issue. Agreement on all 9TH
er issues has been deemed possible
from the start, but agreement on the
question of a minimum wage, which
has now entirely displaced all other
demands, appears very improbable.
The mine owners are unit in their
opposition to the establishment of a
minimum wage. They argue that 1t
would be manifestly unjust to ask
an employer to pay minimum wage
to a man irrespectively of his ability
or disability to perform fair days
work.
The truth to the mine owners con-
/ tention in regards to the injustice of
| the minimum wage is acknowledged
in measure by the miners, and in this
is to be found the one ray of hope
that a general strike may be averted
The miners have suggested the setting
up of board or commission in each
district for dealing with exceptional
cases, such as those of men whose age
or infirmities disqualify them from
performing an average days labor and
who therefore might be employed at
wage below the established mini
mum.
The germ of possible compromise
lies in this suggestion from the min
ers, and when the Board of Trade
steps IN as a mediator-for, judging
from the present outlook, it seems un
likely the two sides will come together
again of their own accord-there will
be at least one definite suggestion
from the men to go upon.
