MINERS ARE DISSATISFIED
Men Employed In South Wales Coal
Fields Adopt Resolutions Sugges.
ing Renewal Of Strike

London, Aug. 16.-Miners meeting
at various places in the South Wales
coal feds yesterday adopted resolu-
tions expressing dissatisfaction at
the delay in completing a new wage
agreement and recommending that
unless a settlement is reached soon,
another conference be held to con-
slider the renewal of the strike.
The South Wales coal strike was
supposedly settled July q through
the efforts of David Lloyd George
minister of munitions. 1t was an
nounced at that time that the terms
of settlement granted substantial
increase in wages to the men and in.
volved concessions to the strikers
which were considered by their exec
utive committee tantamount to an
admission of the miners claims on
nearly all outstanding points.

Thomas A. Cragun, one of the prin-
cipal producers Of honey in Smith
field, was in the county seat on Sat
urday and he informs us that there
is not going to be as good a crop Of
honey this year as formerly. The
reason for this is the fact that the
long dry spell has had tendency to
dry up the fields and consequently
the honey producing flowers have
been scarce. Mr.. Cragun estimates
the crop at about one tenth of that
of last year.
