BRITISH COAL STRIKE
MAY END NEXT WEEK
Miners Delegates Agree to
Take Ballot on Resump-
ton of Work.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 10--A resumption OF
work In the British coal mines Monday,
June 20, is expected to result from de-
cision reached to-day at a conference of
the miners delegates to take a ballot on
the proposals made by the coal mine
owners looking to settlement Of the
strike, which began April J.
This assumption is said to be based
less on the idea that the miners regard
the latest terms offered by the mine own
ers as acceptable than on the belief that
there will not be a two-thirds majority
in favor OF a continuance Of the strike.
The cessa sion Of work in the mines has
lasted for ten weeks. and the funds of
the miners are exhausted. and. it is as
serted. although the terms the mine own
ers have proposed do not meet the claims
the workers have advanced, they con-
stitute considerable advance on any
thing previously offered.
The ballot Will include the question
of a national pool. for which the men
up to the present have been firmly in
favor The view outside the ranks OF
the miners however. Is almost univer-
sal that such a pool would prove i'm
practicable under existing circum-
stances and the belief is expressed that
II no longer will be allowed to stand in
the way of settlement of the contro-
versy. Both sides are said to be tired
of the struggle.
The conference OF the coal miners
delegates to-day voted overwhel lmingly
against advising the men to reject the
offer Of the mine owners. and IN in
terested circles tonight little doubt was
expressed that the forthcoming ballot
would find majority in favor of ces-
sation OF the strike. although II might be
only a small one.
The delegates present at the confer
ence to-day repre- scented 96s,00O members
of the union. The ballot will be taken
next Wednesday and will be returnable
on Friday. two-thirds majority OF
the votes will be required to continue
the stoppsge of mining.
The main features of the owners final
wage proposals consist in the establish
ment of a new standard minimum wage
by raising the 1914 pay rate. or the 1919
rate in the case OF piece workers. by
20 per cent. this percentage to be cal
culated on the March, 1921, output and

that he purposed to call his committee
together next Monday to consider he

ing.
Two points OF opposition are expected
to develop when the measure reaches de-
bate. First. Senators who supported
President Wilson in his recommendation
to repeal the free tolls provision are ex-
pected to argue that to give free tolls TO
American vessels would violate the
terms of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with
Great Britain.
Railroad interests also will oppose
free tolls. Their representatives have
told the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee that water transportation.
especially in the coastwise trade, has
seriously encroached on the earning
power of tho railroads and that the gen.
eral development of coastwise and inland
water transportation was increasing the
difficulty OF successful rail competition.
Senator Borah told THE New YORK
HERALD to-day he believed in free tolls
for other reasons that seem to him potent
enough to Justify approval.
1T is an American canal" Senator
Borah said. " built by American money.
and We have right TO accord free
transportation through such an institu-
ton. In my Judgment there are no treaty
provisions which such a measure vio-
lates
1T is the opinion OF the advocates OF
free tolls that II is not In conflict with
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. In fact. the
British Government admitted some years
ago under the administration of former
President Taft and when Senator Knox
was Secretary of State, that free tolls
through tho canal for American coast
wise vessels was not a contraventior of
the treaty"
