RULES FOR RESUMPTION.
British Miners Board Says Struggle is
Mo lonncr Necessary.

London. April 5.-The executive
committee of the Miners Federation
yesterday decided to recommend a re-
sumption OF work by the miners thru
out the Kingdom.
This recomm cndation will be taken
under consideration at conference of
the whole federation on Saturday. The
decision was reached Notwithstanding
the fact that in a total vote of $4,000
on the question of terminating the
strike. $4,000 were against resumption.
and 201 900 for it. 1t is held that the
opposition failed of a two-thirds ma
jority.
Malcontents in various districts are
arranging to hold demonstrations In
protest against the executive commit
tees action, but. taken on the whole,
the decision to resume has been we'll
received. In Scotland indications are
that there will be a general return to
the collieries at an early date.
The North Wales miners delegates
have decided to order the men to re-
sumo forthwith. without waiting for
the action OF the national conference.
The Cumberland miners have been or
dered to ret"rn Tuesday.
Apparently the only real trouble re-
naming Ito do with the still un-
satisfied grievances of tho surface men
in South Wales Yorkshire and Derby
shire.
1t appears that the executive COM
mittec's decision was reached by only
a narrow majority, therefore 1t is not
certain whether the miners will be
notified officially to resume work by
the national conference. The general
belief is that the moderates will pre-
vail, in view of the fact that large
ma .iority Of the men-altho many of
them did not cast their ballots--aro
arxious to get back to work. and aSy
attempt to revive the strike would pro-
duce an intolerable situation.

Wieksrshann Says Concern Must 30
Divided Into Six Parts Instead OF Two
Washington, April 5.-Attorney
General Wickersham has rejected the
proposal to dissolve the harvester
trust" by dividing the concern into two
companies. He demands the division OF
the corporation into six parts. each OF
which shall manufacture one of the
PATENTS on harvesters controlled by the
concern.
This is the first serious complication
of the negotiations for an amicable re-
organization Of the International Har-
vester Company so as to make 1t con-
form to the supreme courts interpreta-
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
It was stated last night, however.
that the negotiations are not entlreiy
off, but that further attempt Will oe
made by the representatives of the
company to reach an agreement win

The offer to split the company into
two parts was made by General Coun
sci Edgar A. Bancroft to Mr.. Wicker
sham some time ago. In the meantime
the attorney general received detalleo
report on the affairs CT the company
from the experts of the bureau OF COR
porations.
After studying this report Mr.. Wick
ersham decided that the only adequate
dissolution would be disintegratlon
of the corporation into six companies
with a distribution of the Deerins, NC
Cormick, Plano, and other patents on
harvesting machinery. That plan. lie
thought, would restore competition.
Mr.. Bancroft conferred with the at
torney general yesterday and argued
for the proposition he had submitted
He proposed that each Of the two com
panies into which he would divide the
trust should manufacture all six OF the
patents. He suggested that each com
pany should control 40 per cent OF 1ts
stock and the other 50 Ter cent shoul.
go to the st0ckhciders Of the present

tMr. Bancroft this plan could not be ac-
cepted under any circumstances.

tiations for settlement with Assistant
