WELSH MINERS ARE
AGAIN ON STRIKE
Men Charge that Wage Award Does
Not Measure Up to Promises Of
David Lloyd-George.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND OUT

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Reports from
the south Wales coal fields this aft
ernoon state that $4,000 miners al
ready have Joined the new strike.
The recurrence of labor troubles is
due to growing dissatisfaction with
the award OF Walter Runciman, pres
ident OF the Board of Trade, who
acted as arbitrator in the recent
strike. The situation was strained
further when the colliers learned
that Mr.. Runciman had declined to
see a deputation representing them.
Miners Charge Bad Faith.
The miners charge Mr.. Runciman
with going behind the arrangements
made by David Lloyd George and de-
mand that Mr.. Lloyd George make
good his promises to them.
Dispatches from Cardiff at the time the
strike was settled last month said that
the terms accepted by the miners as a re-
suit OF Mr. Lloyd Georges trip TO Wales
provided for substantial increase In
wages and otlIer concessions TO the strik-
ers. which were considered by them as
tantamount to an admission Of their
claims on nearly all the Outstanding points.
Mr.. Lloyd George won the men over not
only by promising concessions, but by
emphasizing the fact that uninterrupted
operation OF the coal mines was highly
essential to the conduct OF tho war.
Mr.. Runciman's award contained wage
concessions. but rejected a number OF
demands relating to working conditions
hours of labor and arbitration arrange
ments.
