BRITISH WAGE
QUESTION HAS
ANOTHER HITCH
Government Insists Pumps be
Manned Preliminary to
Negotiations.
ALL ENGLAND STIRRED
Failure to Bring About Ad-
justment Causes Great Ex-
citement in Empire.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
LONDON, April "a day Of
great excitement, which looked as
though it were leading 10 amicable
negotiations 10 find an issue TO the
wages dispute in the coal crisis,
closed with still another hitch owing
10 insistence on the part Of the gov
ernment that resumption OF pump
ing operations at the mines must be
preliminary to any negotiations.
The first meeting of the govern
ment with the miners and mine own
ers had been set for IL O'Clock
Thursday morning at the board of
trade and meanwhile all questions of
action by the railway men and
transport workers who together with
the miners form the triple alliance
had been temporarily suspended.
Then the prime minister made the
announcement in the house OF COM
mons that the Miners federation
had informed him that II was un-
able TO see its way clear TO instruct
the pumpmen to resume work dur
ing the negotiations. Mr.. Lloyd
George added thai the negotiations
could not proceed unless this
obstacle was overcome.
Whether the hitch is as serious as
IL appeared from the premier's state
ment is not quite certain.
Frank Hodges one Of the leaders
OF the miners referring to the mat
ter wednesday night said he did not
regard the question Of negotiations
as hopeless. Another favorable in
dication is that the premier had
written TO the miners executive ask
ing them TO meet him early Thurs
day morning at his Downing st. res
idence. lAlp
May Resume Parley.
Mr. Hodges who was seen before
this request was known, expressed
the opinion that such a condition as
requiring the pumpmen 10 resume
was quite unnecessary and ought not
TO bar negotiations. He added that
the miners executive would meet at
10 o'clock in the morning to con-
slider the situation. and strong hopes
are expressed that these preliminary
discussions may enable the board Of
trade meeting 10 proceed as fixed.
The general feeling is that the
trouble about the pumping is due 10
suspicion harbored by both sides
but that ii is not serious enough to
