London, April IL.
The coal miners tonight rejected
offers for a settlement of their strike.
At the same time the railwayrnen and
transport workers called off the notice
Of their strike which was TO have gone
into effect at midnight If negotiations
were not progressing toward adjust
ment with the miners. The Triple
Alliance announced. however. that 1t
was only postponing the strike and
the Government is maintaining every
measure to meet the national emer-
gency.
The notice OF final rejection OF the
Government offers did not reach
Downing Street until after the sus-
pension of the railway and transpor-
tation strike. 1t is possible that this
general strike call may be made eff
fective again tomorrow if the miners
are still fighting.
The negotiations broke down in such
an atmosphere OF bitterness, shared
even by the most moderate OF the
labor leaders. that the chance for any
compromise now seems remote.
Break over Specialization.
The break came over a situation
which may be outlined as follows:
The Government yielded the point
that it would provide temporary finan-
cial aid SO as to make the reduction
In wages less sharp where the deep
est cuts were made. The miners in
sisted that the reductions would bring
many OF their members below tho sub
sistence line unless n scheme was or
ganized for the pooling Of receipts and
the distributing of profits and wages.
They insisted that they could operate
such scheme between the owners
and themselves without Government
Intervention or aid.
Premier Lloyd George declared that
the scheme would involve not only ex-
tensive legislation, but farreaching Gov
ernment control Of operations, finances,
sales and prices and possibly pernla-
nent subsidy.
Despite the plea OF the miners that
they did not want naturalization, but
only the assurance OF living wage and
a fair share OF the profits for all. Premier
Lloyd George insisted that the whole
scheme meant outright socialization.
Then the conference broke up with
Herbert Smith Of the miners charging
bitterly that the Government was mere
~ repeating the offers Of the owners. lie
declared that "if the owners are deter
mined that they are going TO carry on
like this we will be starved into submits
sion before we accept"
Up TO late hour tonight Unity
House. headquarters OF the Triple ALL
ance, was the scene Of bitter debate
among the partners Of the alliance. No
statement was forthcoming except for
the curt letter OF tho miners to Downing
Street
Loud words and heated speeches could
be heard. The miners resented with
indignation the fact that their brethren
had sent out word for tho postponenlent
OF their strike just on hour after the
negotiations had broken down.
II was reported that the transport

Upon what seems to me TO be plainest

that it has not sufficient substance even
to affect the validity OF the marriage
contract. However shocking Il may be
to sensitive souls, the law Is as firm
upon the point now as II was in the
