SOUTH WALES MINERS
INSIST ON DEMANDS
DetsrrnAne, If Demands Are Not Grant
cd by Tuesday. All VIII
Quit Work.

London, Aug. 2e.--Many mass
meetings were held by miners or
ga Mutations in South Wales today. All
reiterated the determination to secure
the original demands. which insist
upon a greater share of the war pro-
fits than the employers have declared
themselves willing to grant. and Presi-
dent Walter Runciman. of the British
Beard of Trade, decided in his award
to be sufficient.
Resolutions adopted instructed the
delegates attending the federations
conference. which meets at Cardiff
on Tuesday, not to ratify any agree
ment unless 1t Immediately grants the
bonus which the men claim ana which
Minister OF Munitions Lfoyd-George
conceded without exception.
Put briefly the demand of the men
In six turns OF pay for five turns OF
work rendered. IL is stated In local
labor circles that If this demand IL
not conceded on Tuesday all pits will
be stopped.
Meanwhile the majority OF the min.
ers are working by day to day con-
tracts ana the number of actual strik.
ers has net been increased. Teh Daily
MATHS correspondent at Cardiff asked
the leaders whether the miners real
ased the glee with which the Germa nj
viewed the prospect of another strike
They replied that IL the men thought
there was q real danger of their ma
tion being ruled by Germany they
would not think OF STRIKING or of rem
dering any other resistance.
More than S5 pere cent OF the min
ers have relatives in the army. the
lea told the interviewer. but they
added the miners knew their employ
ers were getting big profits and they
did not see why they should be 40
cused of lacking In patriotism be-
cause they want a share In these
profits, which would enable them ia
meet the increased cost OF living.
