VOTE TO RESUME WORK
Big Majority Of British Miners
Ready to Return to Pits.

London, March 3o.-Although week
must elapse before many of the collieries
are rcopened, even If the miners decision
Is favora BILE 10 termination Of the strike
indications afforded by the ballots thus
far taken are that a large majority OF the
men will vote for resumption of work. This
enables the country to face with compara-
tive equanimity the prospect of continu-
ance for another week Of the industrial dis
location.
With hardly any exception the leaders OF
the miners are counselling the men to vote
for resumption, and although some dis
tricts are balloting contrary 10 this advice
the aggregate figures so far received show
a great preponderance in favor of settle
ment The ballot in North Wales was COM
pleted this evening, and although the hg'
ures are withheld II is known that an
overwhelming majority are desirous OF re-
turning to work. The miners in the Forest
of Dean district have adopted resolution
TO return on April l.
The results thus far in Monmouthshire
are TO in favor Of returning to the pits.
Hundreds more miners went back TO WORK
in Warvickshire to-day. and it is anticl-
tion in that county OH Monday.
In Scotland the ranks OF the non-union
workers have received large accesslons'
and owing 20 the fact that several collier
les have reopened number of steamers IN
the Firth of Forth have succeeded in oo-
tanning coal enough to leave port with
their cargoes. Elsewhere, however, many
vessels are lying idle. At Cardiff. Barry
and Penarth there are now more than two
hundred steamers laid up.
A further closing down Of factories was
reported to-day from several centres, while
the public utilities companies and munich
palities which had laid in enough coal TO
keep them going for more than month
are beginning to feel the pinch and are re-
stricting the supplies Of gas and electricity
to their consumers.
Relief committees have been organized
In every town and village throughout the
country and these are doing their best
TO keep the homes of the hundreds of thou
sands of workers who are now without re-
sources supplied with the barest necessa-
ries of life.

WYOMING C0LLIERIES IDLE
Men Will Stay Out Until Their
Grievances Are Settled.

Wilkes Barre, Penn, March 3o.-When the
anthracite collieries In the Wyoming reGion
shut down late to-day. il was expected that
most Of them would remain closed for an
indefinite period Even should an agree
mcnt be reached at the joint conference be
tween the operators and the men TO be
held in Philadelphia on April TO- II is not
expected that operations will be resumed
at the mines before April IL.
in the mean time the pumpmen and tim
bermen will remain at work, and during
the spell OF idleness necessary repairs viii
be made Work has been steady for zine
months. and the inside workings of some
mines are badly in need Of repairs. So far
as known, none OF the companies will place
aBy guards on duty.
Tie notice that the operators and miners
are to hold another conference has created
good feeling The impression here Is that
q compromise will be reached, based Oh a
10 per cent increase in wages. The miners
expect other concessions, but II is not
thought here they Will be granted.

THE FATE Of LUNA PARK
DiSpoSSeSS Notice Adds to Un-
certainty About Its Future.
SITE OWNERS TAKE ACTION
Officials of Sea Beach Company
Insist Resort Will Not
Close It's Doors.

A notice Of disposses served at the office
of the Luna Park Company, OF which
/ Frederic Thompson is president at Coney
Island. yesterday afternoon. confirmed the
reports that have been current for a week
or more that the big amusement company
was in financial trouble and did not In
tend to open the park this season. The
Sea Beach Land Company and Charles c.
Overton, owners Of the land on which Luna
Park stands, were responsible for the ac-
tion.
At the offices of the company in Luna
Park It was admitted that papers of some
sort had been served, but their nature was
not revealed James A. Nelson. the secre-
tary and treasurer of the Sea Beach Land
Company later confirmed the report. In
speaking of the matter Mr.. Nelson said:
I'VE regret exceedingly to have to fnsti-
tute proceedings against the Luna Park
company In view of the fact that Fred
Thompson has done so much to improve
the character OF the amusements at Coney
Island. However, we deem the action nee
| essary TO protect our large property inter-
eSts
The Luna Park company is in such seri-
Gus financial difficulties that 1t will be i'm
possible for il to raise sufficient money to
insure the opening of the park this sum-
mer.
THE Sea Beach Land Company, however,
will not allow Luna Park TO close It's doors
to the public this season. We have no def
mite plans at present. but within tho
course of a few days arrangements for the
| continuance Of the park as an amusement
resort will be made. We. as property own
crs. realize the necessity of having at Coney
Island clean, moral and healthy amuse-
ments such as those provided at Luna Park
In the past, and we are convinced that this
requirement must be met, even II the Sea
Beach Land Company has 10 finance the en-
terprise itself. In other words. Luna Park
will be open this summer but under diff
ferent management
The summons to relinquish all claims to
the property was served by City Marshal
Aonzo Glover Frederic Thompson was
not al the park at the time. The notice
is returnable on Wednesday of this week
at the 9Th District Municipal Court, at 23d
street and Third avenue Brooklyn. where
il was issued. The Sea Beach Land Com
pany would not state the amount for which
the amusement company is indebted.
Developments or a similar nature nave
been expected by the residents OF Coney
Island, for although all the other amuse-
ment resorts in the town have recently been
repainted and renovated for the opening OF
the season, no efforts to remove the stains
Of winter had been made at Luna Park.
Inquiries in regard to this made at the
Office OF the company were met with eva
sion II was admitted, however. that the
management had postponed the date OF
opening from Memorial Day to one later In
the season.
