Latest Proposals Said to Have
Originated With the
Striking Miners.
WOULD RETURN TO WORK
PENDING AN ADJUSTMENT
Cabinet Believed to Have Approved
Temporary Yielding to Demands
of Colliery Workers.

LONDON, July 70, 2:2o pm
1t is understood that new pro.
posals have been advanced which
are likely to constitute basis or
which both sides concerned in the
south Wales coal strike will be
able to arrange peace without loss
of prestige.
No official statement has been
given out, but there was another
dramatic turn in the situation this
afternoon as the result of a com
munication sent, following a cab
met meeting, to the executive
committee OF miners at Cardiff.
For Temporary Concessions.
It was learned later that the propo-
sails for ending the strike originated
with the miners. They were sent to
London by the executive committee
with the sanction of the miners lead
ers. who believe they will prove ac-
ceptable.
1t is understood the plan contem-
plates temporary concession of the de-
mands of the miners. which, however.
would not be embodied in any new
agreement until the government has
had ample time to consider the whole
matter.
The proposed terms entail some slight
concessions on both sides.
1a hA col h
met had the proposal before 1t at to-
days session, and the outcome of its
communication to the miners commit
tee is accepted as indicating that the
ministry ratified the suggested COM
promise. accepting the proposed way
out.
This will mean immediate return to
work by the men and an undertaking z
to abide by the decision of the court
or Mr. Runciman, whatever it may be.
Lloyd George Takes a Hand.
David Lloyd George. minister of mu-
nitions, has at last taken a hand in the
going to Cardiff tonight to have talk
with the men. This announcement was
made shortly after 1t became known
that new proposals had been advanced
which apparently offered good pros
poets of settling the strike.
Mr.. Lloyd-George is very popular
with the miners, and it is thought a
direct appeal from him will have a
greater effect than any other influence.
A conference between the executive
committee of the miners and Walter
Runciman, president of the board OF
trade, had been arranged for tonight
but was made unnecessary by the ac-
tion of MIR. Lloyd George. The meet
ing has been cancelled, although some
members of the executive committee
already had started from Cardiff for
London when Mr.. Lloyd Georges inter-
vention was announced.
