There is every prospect that the
British coal miners will go back to
work next week. The Government has
granted them an increase in wages
effective Immediately. Independent OF
the output of the mines, and while
the miners concede in principle that
this increase in their pay may be with
drawn II the output is not kept UP to
January 1, the basis upon which the
decision regarding wages is, the miners
claim, n great victory"
The Government has accepted sim
pie pledges by miners and mine own
ers TO cooperate in increasing produce
ton of the mines. both by individual
effort and the introduction of new ma
chiner.r and by other means.
While the terms were agreed to by
the representatives OF the Government.
the mine owners and the miners execu-
tives. IL still remains for all tho miners
to decide by ballot whether they will
accept or reject them, and vote will
be taken Immediately.
AS was predicted yesterday. tho fight
for the increase In pay for the miners
is based on tho profits derived from the
sale of coal for export, with no advance
in the price of coal for domestic con-
sumption. This Is such a serious new
element in the entire commercial and
fiscal fabric of the Empire that both
sides consented to the establishment OF
a commission with wide powers to in
vestigate tho whole question during the
coming year. This investigation will
examine into the entire basis Of produc-
tioh, wages and profits and their dis
tribution among the miners. mine owners
and the Government.
Thus, while the miners have, for the
time at least. explicitly abandoned their

determination to take Off the present
form of Government control of the prop
critics. the agreement tonight assures
that coal mining. as n basic industry In
the British Isles, shall be nationalized
and sociallzed TO all practical intents ana
purposes except in so far as the proprle-
torship of the coal Is concerned. the
owners of the mines being clearly recog-
nized as having the right to ample re-
muneration, but with the strictest iimita-
ton OF all kinds on how they shall con-
duct their business.

OF the vast work of the War Expendi-
turcs Committee Of the House. OF

apparent than ever.
