LABOR SITUATION
BETTER m ENGLAND

London, Aug. 13-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Wfth the fear Of direct
action by the Triple Alliance. COM
prising the railroad men. miners and
transportation operators in balloting
on strike removed and the prospect
of speedy resumption Of work In
the Yorkshire coal fields. the labor
situation was distinctly improved
today and the government and par
Lament breathed easier.
According to George Nicoll Barnes.
the labor representative in the war
cabinet, unemployment is down to
half the figure II last May and the
workers generally are showing a de-
sire to avoid extreme and illegal
measures to obtain their desires.
Premier Lloyd George is said to be
particularly pleased with the way
things are going. and his promised
statement to parliament next Tues
day, defining the governments trade
policy is being awaited with great
interest 1t is asserted that M
Llyod George will undertake that the
admiralty, like the war ONCE, shali
make sweeping ISuuCtiohS Ah 49, SS~~
mates.
The minister of labor announces
that a proposal is being considered
"in the interest of the general COM
munity" providing for the introduce
ton of legislation making strikes
and lockouts illegal unless one weeks
notice in writing is given, to enable
an inquiry into the situation causing
discord and an att .mpt at its settle
ment. This program, it is said. will
be strongly resented by a large por-
ton of the laborers.
The Yorkshire miners are not will
ing to resume work. Ten thousand
men in the Pontefract district voted
today against resuming and 1t is
said that In other districts the minere
have not yet reached a decision as t.
whether they will return to their
labors.
The belief prevails however, that a
majority of the miners will start
work Monday.
The Ave weeks strike already has
cost the Yorkshire Miners Associa-
ton over 100000 in strike pay AM
other expenses, while the loss II
wages has been in the neighborhooe
Of s5,0O0.0 900.
