BRITISH MAKE NEW
PROPOSALS TO END
GREAT COAL STRIKE
Meeting of Executive Coun-
Gil of Miners Brought to
Abrupt Close When Word
Comes From London.

CARDIFF, July 10.
Important new proposals made by the
British Government TO end the South
wales coal strike brought the meeting OF
the executive council Of the miners to an
abrupt adjournment at o'clock this az
| ternoon.
| What these proposals we're none Of the
members would say. The officers boarded
an afternoon train for London for con
ference this evening with President wal
ter Runclman, Of the Government Board
Of Trade.
LONDON. July 10.
That the gravest crisis England has
faced since the war can only be averted
by the Government taking over the South
wales coal mines was the growing con-
victlon today in official circles here,
when the Cabinet met in special session
10 discuss the great coal strike.
Government investigators believed the
miners will not object seriously to the
temporary naturalization OF the mines,
They pointed out that this would remove
the chief bone of contention-the belief
on the part of the miners that the own
ers are piling UP huge fortunes by selling
at war prices" Unless this Is done
settlement appears remote, the investiga-
TOTS frankly told President HunclndH, VI
the Government Board Of Trade, today
In some quarters It was suggested to-
day that the Government force the mine
owners to grant the full demands OF the
men, pendlngf future negotiations, while
the men return to work. Several Cabinet
officials, however rejected this idea on
the ground that It indicated Government
tai weakness.
Thousands of miners who spent the |
weekend at seaside resorts following the !
calling Of the strike. poured into Cardif |
today, where the miners executive coun- |
Gil was meeting. Dispatches from Cardiff |
said the majority Of the men stood firm
ly behind their leaders In the negotla-
tlons with the Government
The coal situation is rapidly becoming
serious, while the South Wales miners
remain idle. The available supplies are
