Crisis Over
In British
Coal Strike
Miners Accept Invitation to
Discuss Wage Demands With
Covernment-Rail Men
Postpone Action.
Unions Hold Joint Meet
By TIL. Associated Press.

London, Oct. 23.-The industrial
crisis was temporarily bridged late
this afternoon when the striking coal
miners accepted an invitation to
meet the government for renewed
discussion of the miners demands,
and the railroad men at the request
of the miners, postponed their SYM
pathetic strike movement under
which the railway employees would
have ceased work at midnight Sum
day.
This sensational close of a day
of the most intense anxiety came as
the resul. of informal discussions
during the morning participated in
by Representatives of the govern
ment, the coal mine owners, and the
miners leaders and a subsequent
joint meeting of the national union
of railwaymen's and miners ex-
ecutive bodies.
New Proposal.
1t was generally understood that
the government had drafted new
proposals for adjustment of the
miners demand which are more ac-
ceptable to the mine workers. In
any event, the miners decided to ac-
cept the invitation to reopen the
discussions.
The miners representatives will
meet the government tomorrow
morning.
Informal conversations between
the government and individual lead
ers of the striking British coal min
ers we're resumed this morning.
These discussions followed con-
ference with Premier Lloyd George
and several other members of the
government in which the secretary
of the miners organization was one
of the participants.
Representatives of the mine own
ers also conferred with the govern.
ment.
The view expressed in government
circles this afternoon was that the
strike situation was by no means
without hope OF favorable solution.
During the discussion between the
government and the miners informal
proposals were expected to be made
which might contain nucleus for
an ultimate settlement.
+ ]. H. Thomas, general secretary
of the National Union of Railway
men, announced to the press that he
was striving for the immediate con-
vocation of d conference between op-
posing forces.
Will Meet Premier.
The Evening Standard says the
miners executive committee is to be
asked to meet the. premier and his
experts at the premier's official resi-
dence in Downing street, although
the time for such a meeting has not
been fixed. It asserts also that the
skeleton Of formula slightly more
favorable to the miners has been
sketched and that this has unoffi-
cially been approved by prominent
miners leaders, although this does
not necessarily mean that the min
ers as whole would accept it.
|, The feeling of optimism is consid-
cred as responsible for the decision
of the House of Commons to defer
until Monday consideration of
measure giving the government wide
powers to meet any grave situation
that might develop.

HIGH SCHOOL LOSES TO ST.
PETER.

Last Saturday the football team
went to St. Peter to play the first
game of the season. To begin the i'll
luck, we lost the toss and had to kick
off. Our opponents received the ball
but were brought down before ad-
vancing very far. However, they
made their downs each time and took
the ball across for the first touchdown.
Their try at the goal was successful.
In the second quarter, the opponents
got the Ball on a tumble and took it
across for a touchdown. The first
half ended with the score 40 in St.
Peters favor.
In the beginning of the second half
we received, but failed to make our
downs and were forced to punt. Then
by series of line plunges, end runs and
a forward pass, our opponents took
the ball across for the third touch
down. During this quarter our oppo-
nents were inclined to think that we
were beginning to play football in
earnest, SO in fear of being roughed
too much, they appealed to the referee
to have one Of our men put out. The
referee, acting somewhat under the
influence of the St. Peter captain, did
their bidding. However, we realized
they We're not of such a hardy consti-
tuition as our boys were and we let such
little occurances pass. At this time
"Snooks" Herzog had the i'll fortune
to have his shoulder twisted and had
to retire from the game. These two
misfortunes, of course weakened our
team very much and to make matters
worse, few minutes later Joe Schueller
broke his collar bone. So with three
men out, our very much crippled team
fought their way through the rest OF
the game. Some of the subs were not
used to their new positions but in spite
of this fact, the team kept on with
: nervestiring energy only letting then
opponents get one more touchdown
and that, by take line plunge, which
must be admitted, was cleverly done
Although we lost we do not admit
that they had a better team than we
have. The team started out in TIE
second half with great pep, and had
it not been for the misfortune of 10 sing
three of our men, there is no doubt
but that the score would have been
different.
However, by the next game we ex.
pect to have three of last years veterans
back on the team, which willstrengther
the team considerably. So every.
body come out to see the game with
cur o,d rivals, Sleepy Eye, next Satur,
day. Help cheer tie team on to
victory.-Contributed.
