introduced and briefly referred to the

cassion the life of the coal strike, af-
fecting more than 100000 directly

government officials admit the toll of
human life as we'll as money, is ap-

starvation.
The mine owners gleefully point to
the fact that the miners resources are
dwindling and contend that starvation
will compel them to yield. The mi
ners admit they have little money but
claim they can hold out two weeks at
least.
There was a second conference to-
day, between the mine owners and the
men.
The men agreed to waive all de-
mands except for a minimum scale of
five shillings for adults and two sbill-
ings for minors. The owners refused
to treat on this basis.
