TALK Of RETURN
Early Break in Coal Strike
is Confidently Pre-
! dicted
CRISIS KEENLY FELT
Bins Are Nearly Empty And Gov
ernment Plans to Import Fuel
Situation Worries Cabinet
"

| London, April 1S.--An early
j break up Of the British coal miners
strike is expected, owing to exhaus-
! ton of relief funds and failure of
the other members of the Triple Al
;; lance to support the strike.
The funds of the miners union are
not held nationally, but by the sepa-
rate districts, and yesterday the
Warwickshire Miners Association
en3tied its strong box by paying
each member Z shillings and 8
pence.
The Dcrbyshire and Notts men
are reported to be on the verge Of
returning to work and leaving the
National Association, while in York
shire, which is one of the richest coal
districts, the men are discussing i'm
mediate return TO work on agree
ment to discuss a final settlement
later.
Sunday brought the coal strike
home keenly to the people Of Great
Britain, as the need for the already
closely held fuel was increased by
the appearance Of wintry weather
throughout the United Kingdom,
with a considerable snowfall in some
sections.
The action Of the House of Com
mons last Thursday nisft III Writ
ually taking the affairs out Of the
hands of the Government was wide
" commented upon as bringing in
a new phase Of public affairs not al
together to the taste Of Government
departments, but likely to hel p to-
ward a more speedy settlement.
The bad weather and the collapse
of the threatened railroad and trans
port strikes has had the effect of
retarding the recruiting of the vol
unteer forces in London, fewer citi-
zcns offering themselves for enlist
ment.
1t was officially intimatcd today
that Mir. Lloyd George and the.
other Cabinet ministers are still:
anxious to negotiate for a perma-
nent settlement of the wage ques
ton. This desire is in line with the
anxiety of the mine owners to come
to terms with the men and avoid a
prolonged struggle, which would
lose the world markets for their
product.
The strike has already been in
progress for fortnight and is GER
tain TO continue for at least another
week. by which time the available
stocks Of coal will be greatly de-
pleted. The mines department of
the Board of Trade is already puzz-
led by the problem of ekeing out the
available supplies and it is under
stood to be considering still fur
ther drastic rationing.
The trair services Will be addi-
tionally curtailed during the coming
week in line with this policy. The
Admiralty is preparing to bring coal
from Nova Scotia for its own use
and some of the Zig coal factors are
preparing tc import American coal
mass meeting of railway men
held in Carlisle yesterday passed
resolutions in favor Of calling gen
eral railway strike unless the just
claims of the mines were adjusted
by Friday.
