scum tonight, he completed the most
extensive stunping tour even under
taken by a presidential candidate

British Miners
Vote Tuesday
Leaders Confident Ballot viii
Show Big Majority in Favor
OF Ending Strike
By JOHN STEELE.
New York Times-Chiccgo Tribune Cable.
Copyrights 1920.


London, Oct. 30.-According to
present indications British coal
miners will return to their work a
week from next Monday.
At least this is the program of the
miners leaders, who announced that
the mems vote ON acceptance or
non-acceptance Of the peace terms
would be taken next Tuesday. The
returns will then be brought before
a meeting of. the miners delegates
in London next Wednesday.
AT this meeting, if the vote is IA.
vorable to settlement, as it is ex-
pected it will be, the great coal mine
strike will be called off formally.
The miners leaders are most conf
dent OF the outcome and expect high
majorities for peace in every sec
ton excepting South Wales, where
the radical influence is strong. They
feel sure, however, that the possible
negative returns from sSouth Wales
will be heavily outvoted by the rest
of the country.
An excellent omen lies in the fact
that in several of the coal fields the
mine owners already are arranging
to get the ponies back into the pits
in readiness for resumption of oper-
ations.
The miners delegates scattered
from London to their several dis
tricts for the purpose of urging their
men to vote in favor Of the peace
terms, in accordance with their
promise to the government.

said to reach into Canada, where

manufactured.
