further conference with Premier
Lloyd George concerning the threat

tive body, decided today to recon-
mend to the delegates of the miners,

owners, as suggested by the premier.

basic line be fixed for local output
at a sufficiently low level to insure
wage increase if any reasonable
rate of production is maintained
The recommendation of the execu-
tive body was followed by the miners
delegates at their meeting later in the
afternoon and it was decided to sus-
pend the strike notices one week, as
requested by the premier.

lister of finance. yesterday not only
succeeded in forcing the cabinet to
tackel the problem of the nations
tangled finance. butt also attained for
himself an ascendent influence in
government affairs.
At an extraordinary session Of the
cabinet Herr Wirth presented an an

administration"
AS q, result the cabinet unani-

The announcement tends to con-
firm the belief now held In many
quarters that it would DO utterly i'm
possible to pay off or to carry q
steadily increasing burden. Some go
so far as to say that going thru
bankruptcy would not be the worgt
evil that could befall, since 1t Seems
inevitable in the end. The bankrupt.

new start on a new basis.
