MINERS STRIKE IN
ENGLAND NEAR END
Amicable settlement Of Dis.
pute Is Indicated after
Conference.
By the Associoicd

LONDON. July Alt Is understood
that an amicable settlement OF the coal
strike will certainly be arranged to-
ub-coplmittee of the Miners Federation
with the Coal Controller tonight.
The day was fully occupied with con-
ferenccs between Premier Lloyd George
and other members of tine Government
and the mining interests. and closed with
the prospect OF a settlement Accord
ing TO the strike leaders In Yorkshire the
whole trouble arose through the Coal
Controllers attempt 10 evade the piece
rate provisions OF the Sankey report,
which the Government had adopted as
working basis.
One OF the results of to-day's confer
ence between the Premier and the
miners executive was a new piece rate
offer on the part OF the Government.
which the miners federation appointed
a subcommittee to consider.
The subcommittee. which required
calculation OF the points in detail held
long conference this evening with the
Coal Controller. No ofiiial report of this
conference has been issued, but ii was
r"ohicialy stated that when the miners
federation meets in the morning to con-
slider the sub.committcc's report, there
is every pros&st that a settlement will
De reached.
In the event OF the Governments Offer
being accepted 1t involves the appoint
n'art OF a small committee representing
the Coal Mines Department and the
Miners Federation to adjust a formula
adapted to the requirements OF the diff
fercnt districts.
The settlement will come none too
soon. Evidence Is accommodating hourly
OF how heavily the coal shortage Is press
ing on all industries and public sery Ices
Tire Government has already stopped
the export of coal from Cardiff. and the
railways have plans laid for a severe
restriction of their services, to begin
Monday. il the strike IL not settled.
A satisfactory aspect OF the strike is
the fact that there have been NO disor-
ders or threatenings Of any kind. and no
attempt to hinder the naval men who
have been engaged in keeping as far as
possible the mines from flooding. The
situation with regard to pumping and
ventilation underwent a great improve
menr during the course OF the day.
There have been some extensions of
the strike movement, but at the same
time many strikers have resumed work.
nctably in Nottinghamshire where it
was announced late tonight that the
strike had ended.

kennard was said by the Attorney
General to be an ''lnconspicuous $4,000

One of Mr. Kennard's charges, Mr.
Palmer stated. was that he [Palmerl
had failed to seize property OF Turkish
subjects in this country.
I'm the first place" Mr.. Palmer re-
piled. there wasn't very much Turkish
property In this country. Besides, there
was very good diplomatic reason

Mr.. Palmer said he did not know
kennard but yesterday caused officials
OF the Custodisn's Office to make an

Horse improvements
by. II. w. CLARK
Animal Husbandry Specialist

The horse breeder and farmer must
learn that the tractor and truck are
powerful influences in determining
the demand for and price of horses.
Just as the manufacturer of the self
rake reaper was influenced by the
self-binder. so must the breeder of
horses be Influenced by the tractor
and truck. The market requirements
in all cases must be met, be 1t ma
chine OF horse.
Good. heavy, sound. pure-bred
draft stations are scarce and are
selling at very profitable prices. The
farmer is coming to realize the situa-
tion and is demanding better grade
Of stations this year than heretofore.
The horse that Is most in demand Is
the one that can compete with the
tractor That means he must have
weight, not less than 1900 pounds in
ordinary flesh, be sound and have
lots of endurance. To meet these
requirements he must have the right
kind of conformation. This is the
kind of a public service stallion the
farmers should patronize. Inferior
stations WILL in the end. cause heavy
losses. The offspring is not in de-
mand and can be sold only at prices
below the cost of production. A
farmer who will now patronize an
inferior stallion because of the low
service fee is standing in his own
light.
The recent Legislature amended the
state stallion registration law so that
now Colorado is again abreast of the
times. Stations that cannot enter or
stand for public service in other
states are barred from this state.
There are many other good additional
features in the law, too numerous to
be given here. Owners of stations
standing for public service should
make application at once for licenses
to the State Board of of Stock IN
srection Commissioners. Denver.
A bulletin on horse management
has been issued by the Colorado Agri.
cultural College. 1t tells how to Sc
lect horses, how to feed and care fol
them. gives the cost of production
and much other valuable informa
ton.
A special poster. giving the essen
tials of successful horse breeding
has just been printed. This is to bt
posted with the license, and give
information of value to stallion ant
mare owners. The above bulletii
and poster can be had free upoi

stating that the Palisades had attracted
more visitors than all the national

and had established itself as the largest
camping ground in the world.
Popularity Is Proved
"The popularity of the park" Mr..
Perkins continued, "lies in the fact
that it is state playground admin

sole aim of which is to give the people

commission operates the restaurants,
