bU tHe ASsoctnfed Press.
LONDON. April 6.--Lloyd Georges in
vftation to the miners leaders to meet
him at his Downing street residence
early tomorrow morning before the
conference with the mine owners is held
Is regarded as very strategic move
I,he miners executives were to meet at
10 o'clock and strong hopes are ex-
pressed that these preliminary discus
sions may enable the board or trade
conference to proceed as fixed.
The general feeling is that the trouble
about pumping is due to suspicious har-
bored by both sides but that Il is not
serious enough to prove q permanent
obstruction to negotiations.
1t Is assumed that Lord Derby's sua-
gestion. which had already been made
by Alfred Bigland. Coalition unionist
for Birkenhead, carried great weight
with the government and probably in
duced the offer to negotiate. Lord Derby
wields enormous political influence in
the Conservative party, and his sug-
gestion touches what is considered a
weak point In the government armor.
namely, the precipitate removal of gov
ernment control OF the mines the mo-
ment the coal industry was affected by
trade depression.
In the event OF breakdown in nego-
tiations IL is understood that the execu-
tives of the national cooperative soci-
cites have agreed to extend credits to
the striking miners or other workers
whose trade unions find their funds
heavily burdened by strike payments.
All attempts by the strikers to draw un-
employment benefits have been firmly
resisted.

United States relating to the ISL

ever been authorized TO cede or

this Government must insist that

In this view, this Government
deems II to be unnecessary at this
time to consider the terms OF the

cussion with respect thereto.
This Government, as has been
clearly stated in previous commu-
nications, seeks no exclusive Inter
est In the Island OF Yap and has
no desire to secure any privileges
without having similar privileges
accorded TO other Powers, includ-
ing, of course, Japan, and relying
upon the sense OF Justice OF the
Government OF Japan and of the

There appears o-night chance that
the industrial disaster which would fol-
low a nationwide strike by the triple
alliance OF British labor may be
averted. The plan for a meeting OF
the Government with representatives
OF the mine owners and OF the strik-
Ing coal miners assumed definite shape
to-day when the Prime Minister in
vited both sides to meet with Cabinet
representatives at the Board Of Trade
offices tomorrow morning. With the
miners objecting only to the demand
by the Government that the pumps
must be operated to keep the mines
free OF water during these negotia-
tions, Mr.. Lloyd George will attempt in
the meeting tomorrow to induce them
to enter definitely into negotiations
with the owners to settle the strike.
Frank Hodges, one of the leaders Of
the miners union. said he did not re-
gard the question OF negotiations as
hopeless However, while agreeing 10
take all the steps possible TO save the
pit ponies in the mines from drowning,
the striking miners still refuse to per-
nit the pump men to return to the
properties. Mr.. Lloyd George, on the
other hand, says this condition is a
necessary precedent to a reopening OF
the negotiations and he believes he

receive the old scale OF wages. The at
