A GENERAL STRIKE
Two Hundred Thousand Miners
May Quit in Wales.
Government Award and Mine
Owners Are Denounced.

London Aug. 3O.-A general strike
of 100000 South Wales coal miners,
unless todays conference here settles
the dispute, was predicted by mine
officials who conferred with members
of the cabinet today.
Mass meetings were held through
the Wales coal district Sunday. The
spirit of the men was adamant. They
cheered speakers who accused the
mine owners of making huge war
profits and refusing to share them
with the workers, and denounced the
governments arbitration award. The
majority of the meetings adopted reso-
lutions favoring a walkout on We'd
nesday, if no agreement is reached
today.
The only ray of hope to the govern
ment today was news that 5000 stri1-
erS in the MOnmouthSnire district had
returned to work. 1t was stated, how
ever. that these men went back at the
urgings of the miners executive coun-
Gil, which asked that all miners re-
main at work pending attempts to
reach a settlement. Strikers in other
districts remained out.
Representatives of the operators
met Minister of Munitions Lloyd
George this afternoon and Immediate
ly afterwards conferred with PreSi-
dent Walter Runciman of the govern
ment board of trade. Four repre-
sentatiVes of the miners were closeted
with Lloyd-George after the opera
tors committee left
