MAY AVOID MINE STRIKE.
Compromise Between English Own.
ers and Employees Seems Likely.

LONDON, April PA compromise in
the dispute between English miners
and their employers, eliminating the
danger Of a strike, is expected as a re-
suit of action taken here today. Inter-
vention by the board of trade in the
negotiations led to the holding in Lon
don of a conference among representa-
tives Of the miners federation of Great
Britain Following this conference the
federation officially requested the gov
ernment to summon Immediately a ma
tional conference of mine owners and
miners.
1t is taken for granted that this con-
ference will result in a compromise be-
tween the demands Of the men for an
increase in wages of 20 per cent and
the offer of the owners for a 10 per
cent raise.
