MINERS STRIKE
SHOWING LITTLE
IMPROVEMENT
Negotiations With Miners May Be
Opened-Both Houses Of Par
lament Consider 1t

London, April 4.-Regulations to
meet the emergency brought about by
the strike of coal miners in Great
Britain were discussed by both houses
of parliament here today. Prime Min
lister Lloyd George, who called
meeting of the cabinet for early this
morning, was expected to go before
the house of commons and endorse
the announcement made on Saturday
by Sir Robert Stevenson Horne,
chancellor of the exchequer, that the
government would refuse to yield on
the point of substituting the miners
wages.
Members Of the labor party also
gathered today to discuss the situa-
action would be taken which would
forecast the attitude of the National
Union of Railway Men and the Trans
port Workers Union at their confer.
ence on Wednesday. Indications were
seen that it was probable the two
great unions would support the min
ers in their demands. 1t was pointed
out that resolutions to that effect
were passed by score of London
and provincial council meetings of
the railroad workers organization on
Sunday although the vote was not in
all cases unanimous.
"A feeling is growing. says the Daily
Graphic, that the negotiations on the
proposed new wage scale broken down
too abruptly and that an attempt may
be made by the house of commons to
bring the parties together once more.
Large police reserves were taken
to the Bowhill Kelly Colleries in
Fifeshire last night to protect loyal
furnace men against 1000 strikers,
who had compelled them to abandon
work
On the other hand strikers at some
of the Staffordshire and Glamorgan
pits have permitted squads of pump
men to descend for the purpose of
clearing the mines OF water.
