STRIKE OF | MINERS
IN WELSH FIELDS
MAY Be GENERAL
Leaders Of Men Say Two
Hundred Thousand May
Walk Out
FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION
OF CLAIMS Is PREDICTED
Executive Committee Wants
Men To Work Until Decis-
ion Is Reached

London, Aug. 30.--A general coal
strike throughout Wales involving all
of the 100000 mine workers was pre-.
dicted by the miners officials here to-
day unless the dispute over the recent
arbitration award is settled immedi-
ately.
Members of the miners federation
made their prediction following con-
ference with Minister of Munitions
Lloyd George. Later the miners met
with Walter Runciman president of the
board of trade, but no announcement
was made of progress toward an agree
ment. The government s officials were
to meet with the operators, following
their session with the representatives
of the miners.
Advices today brought word of 5000
miners in Monmouthsnire returning to
work in response to the appeal of the
executive council, but mass meetings
were held throughout Wales yesterday
in which the mine workers declared
their intention of fighting to the end
for recognition of their claims.
At all of these mass meetings attacks
were wildly cheered in which the mine
owners were charged with netting huge
profits as result of the war, and ac-
cused of failing to share these profits
with the workers. The arbitration
award through which Lloyd George
brought the Welch strike to an end was
roundly denounced. A majority of the
meeting adopted resolutions in favor of
ordering a walkout Wednesday if no
agreement is reached in the conferences
now in progress with the government.
Some hope was aroused in govern
ment circles that the union leaders may
prevail upon the men not to quit the
mines as a result of the Monmouthshire
workers returning. The executive coun'
Gil has urged the miners to remain at
work pending the efforts Of the fedora
ton representatives to bring about a
settlement.

New York, Aug. 30.-The possibility
of peace is now nearer than at any time

overtures for peace negotiations.
Peace now would leave the allies
baffled in their efforts to capture Con
stantinople, but it is by no means GER
tain there is much enthusiasm in the
west for the project of continuing to
throw away lives in order to make q
present of the Dardanelles to defeated
Russia.
The capture of Constantinople would
enhance England's military reputation,
but as events now stand, England does
not really need victory over the Turks
for prestige. Economic pressure brought
on Germany by the British fleet, and
the capture of the German colonies by
the British are factors that will prevent
the allies from being overwhelmed with
humiliation when negotiations begin.
England, therefore, can afford to talk
peace. She has saved the allies. Tais
is doubtlessly the argument which is be.
ing used quietly in England. A little
more of it and peace congress will
be in session.

The subject of bands ard drum corps
in the parade has been one that has
caused considerable worry to the Off
cials in charge. This matter was ad-
Justed today in a conference with Fed
GRAFTON of Labor officials. The trouble
grew out of a request from Massachu-
setts for permission to put into the
parade "A church band. The inquiry
was referred to President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, who denied the request.
A. c. Hayden. president of the local
musicians union. explained to the COM
mittee today that this request had been
refused because the band in question
had been put on the unfair list. He
said that all the boys bands or fife and
drum corps made up of volunteers
would be permitted participation in the
