gates Action

LOndon.-A resumption Of work In
the British coal mines Monday, June
70, II Is generally assumed here, will
result from decision reached at a
conference Of the miners delegates TO
take ballot Oh the proposals made
by the coal mine owners looking to q
settlement OF the strike.
This situation Is said to be based
less on the idea that the miners regard
the latest terms offered by the mine
owners as acceptable than on the be-
lief that that there will not be two
thirds majority In favor OF continue
tion of the strike.
The cessation OF work in the mines
has lasted for 10 weeks and funds OF
the miners are exhausted. And, 1t Is
asserted, although the terms the mine
owners have proposed do not meet the
they constitute Il considerable advance
on anything previously offered.
