OWNERS SOUND KNELL
Of BRITISH COAL STRIKE
Agree to Accept the Minimum
Wage BiII-Miners to
Vote on Question.

LONDON, March 27.-The British coal
owners. after prolonged meeting this
afternoon, resolved to accept the mini
mum wage bill. This means that all the
mines will be opened to the men as soon
as they desire to return to work.
At a full meeting Of the miners feder-
alton today it was decided to take an i'm
mediate ballot among the men as to
whether they desire to accept the gov
ernment's minimum wage bill and return
to work.
The miners delegates will return to
their respective districts at the earliest
moment, so that no time shall be lost
in carrying the result Of the ballot, what
ever it may be. into effect.
The text of the ballot paper is as fol-
lows:
Are you in favor of resuming work
pending the settlement of the minimum
rates Of wages in the various grades by
the district boards to be appointed un-
der the coal mines minimum wage act?"
Must Accept Wage Bill.
The more moderate members tried to
get the federation to insert recon-
mendation on the ballot paper, but it was
decided to leave the men a free hand.
A bare majority of votes will be suffi-
cient for the acceptance or rejection OF
the proposition.
William Edwin Harvey, a miner men,
be- of parliament, who represents the
sentiments Of most of the leaders in the
federation area, says that he intends to
tell the 4O.O 600 miners Of Derbyshire: 1.-The
wage bill has become the law of the
land, so that there can be no question of
accepting it's provisions or otherwise.
They must be made the best Of
Count Votes April 3.
The miners federation at meeting this
afternoon decided that the ballot papers
must be returned not later than April 3,
when the federation will reassemble at
Manchester to count the votes and decide
on it's future action.
The miners leaders Of the federated
area anticipate the acceptance Of the wage
bill by the miners there, while those
from South Wales and Scotland expect
a strong majority against it in those
districts.

Humorous Letter.

Judge Staples indicated that he
would not hasten to decide the matter.
The temporary interest of the fami-
lies of the prisoners" he said, need
not be conserved at the expense OF the
permanent interest of the widows and
orphans of the victims of this tragedy
While pathos everywhere marked the
DAYS events in court, the humorous
side bobbed up in the form OF a letter
which was received by Detective Felts'
postmarKed New York. 1t read:
Dear Mr.. Felts: 1 will add $1,000 to

punishment, but also required courage

how many court officers you have. or how

Thorough Inquiry Urged.

The court asked the jury to inquire
particularly into the subject OF acces-
sories before and after the fact. 1T
has been suggested said Judge Staples,
that some parties aided guilty persons
to escape. While these parties may have
had no knowledge in advance, aiding to
escape was a msdemeanor.
The jury retired to secret SESSION, which,

In the Matter of Seed

The Aberdeen Daily American
sounds a timely warning in the fol-
lowing
Seeds for crops of the coming
harvest seem to be the most vital
subject to the people of the Dakotas
just now. Everywhere the cry is
going up for tested seed
There has never beer a year when
the careful testing Of grain has
meant SO much as this year. The
short crops of the last two years have
made the need of good crop this
year most urgent The natural con
ditions at present point to good
yield. but poor seed will ruin the
crop again. in spite of everything.
Under these conditions it be
hooves every man who plants seed
to make sure that it is good seed and
that it will grow. And the best and
surest way to test seed is to plant
some of it in moist earth which is
kept warm.
Nature is to do her part toward
a big crop next fall, and man must
make sure of this part by using
only good seed "
