Minimum Wage Bill Is Law

London, March D.-The government s minimum wage bill became a law today when at noon it received the royal assent. Simultaneously balloting by the coal miners throughout the British Isles was proc ceeding to decide whether the strikers should return to work pending decision by the district boards, provided for in the til., fixing wages in the various coal mine districts. While the result will nos be known officially until next Thursday, there was prevalent everywhere feeling of optimism that the vote would favor re- sumption and that meantime thousands of miners would return to work in antici- patton of such decision.
 Thomas Ashton, secretary of the miners federation, tonight issued state nent counselling the miners to resume work without waiting for the district boards to adjust the minimum wages and his advice probably will have greater in- fucnee on the ballot than that of any other leader.
 The only stumbling block in the way or a speedy termination Of the strike seems to be the attitude of the surface men. who still have some grievances. Their na- tional federation today Issued a manifesto that there must be no resumption until the owners have conceded their demands, 1t is believed. however, that this dispute Will be settled soon

MUNSEY FAVORS
 FEDERAL CONTROL
Would Prevent the Giant Corporations
HE EXPLAINS ARTICLE
Places Value of Tennessee Company's Ore Holdings at S105,000, ,000. Holdings of Corporation in
 1908 Were $782, 2,000,00

Washington, March 2a.-"Had snc government controlled our natural re- sources there would have been no United States Steel corporation, no Standard oil company, no Andrew Car negie, no John D. Rockefeller" de- clared Frank A. Munsey, the publisher, today before the House steel trust in- vestigating committee.
 MT. Munsey, during the course of his testimony, which related to a pub lished article regarding the valuation of the corporations properties. de- clared for conservation and suggested that the government condemn natural resources If feasible" But he made no suggestions for such plan.
 Value of Holdings
 Valuation of the property of the Unit ed States Steel corporation in 1908. s7s2,OOo, 900; valuation of ore holdings of the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany, when absorbed by the steel cor poration, $1O5,O00, 900; o.e properties ac- quired by corporation under the Hill lease, estimated at s50o,000,00o.
 The foregoing figures, explained by Frank Munsey. publisher, before the House Steel trust Investigating com mittee today, were minuteiy inspected. When he placed the valuation of $7S2,- 00,000 on the property of the United states Steel corporation in his article published in the June, 1908, issue of his magazine, he did 5. after consult: ing with officials of the corporation and having had access to their books. He made these declarations with em- phasis.
 Talk With Steel Men
 T based my estimate" said MT. Nun sey, upon talks also with other men interested in the steel business and with Charles NJ. Schwab, John w. Gates and others not then in the bus mess" ~
 In his article MT. Munsey said the ore holdings of the Steel corporation were worth 60 cents per ton. This figure was based largely on the value of the ure properties leased by the corporation from J. J. Hill, he said.
 Of his estimate of s1O5, 100000 as the value of the ore holdings of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, he was asked to ex- plain. T figured at 15 cents per ton.'' he said, and it was based on the terms Of the Hill lease"
 Names George F. Baker
 MT. Munsey reluctantly gave the name of George F. Baker, director of .he Steel corporation, as one saving that he would not sell the ore properties acquired under the Hill lease for s5Co, GOO Nun sey's article referred to the Hill lease as insurance against competition"
 What led you to that conclusion ?' asked MT. Stanley.
 Because all the available ore of ihe Steel corporation, outside of the Hill lease. were being rapidly used up, and the Hill ores were the only others that could be developed"
 Regarding his estimate that the ore holdings of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company were worth sl050tO,O00, MT. Man- sey said his information came from per- sons outside of the Steee corporation. He said it was the most reliable information he could get, and he added:
 T still think I was right

Miners Will Obey Order

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 29.-President Whites ultimatum ordering a suspension of work in the anthracite region pending a referendum vote will be obeyed to the letter by the underground workers of the Wyoming region A large number of miners practically obeyed the order this afternoon. There seems to be no question as to what the outcome of the referen- dunn vote will be. The miners undoubted- ly will stand by any policy outlined by their executive officers.
 Optimistic feeling prevails, however. that the suspension will not be of long duration.
