New York Herald Bureau,
London. June 10.
The British coal miners after eleven
weeks OF idleness. during which they
never saw any tangible hope for the
success of their demands. are showing a
fighting spirit that is astonishing the
whole nation in voting on acceptance OF
the owners terms based on a sliding
scale of proportionate earnings.
The returns. which are complete from
all important districts. show a substan-
tial majority against acceptance, but not
the necessary two-thirds to reject the
offer. The result creates a situation that
is liable to embarrass the Government
since many political leaders have been
insisting that II the miners themselves
were allowed to decide the strike would
be ended. The indication tonight was
that the men would return to work, since
two-thirds majority Is required for
rejection Of the owners offer.
The executives submitted the question
to vote by the men when the Govern
ment announced that II would otherwise
II had offered to tide over the crisis.
With the hardships that are being suf-
fered generally and in the face of star
walton conditions, with the Federation
treasury exhausted. Il was confidently
expected that the miners themselves
would return a huge majority in favor
of ending the strike and getting back to
work. But the mems vote shows that
there is still lots OF fight left in the
ranks. Another surprise came when the
ballots showed that a considerable pro-
portion of the miners failed to vote
In South Wales $1,000 voted again st
acceptance. only 5000 favoring it. Ian
caster showed an s to ! percentage
against acceptance. Kent. Bristol and
Durham also strongly favored rejection.
but other districts. although against
acceptance. proba bly, will not return the
majorties necessary for two-thirds
general vote.
The men are balloting on an alterna-
tive-frst on a national wage pool with
out a government grant. second on the
prospect of returning to work with lower
wages under the owners scheme with
the aid of Government grant of
10000, 900
The Governments time limit as TO the
grant will end Saturday. The decision
will be announced by the miners execu-
tive committee tomorrow. The vote
has caused depression over the labor
situation after optimistic expectations
as a result OF the more favorable out

P. c., Effective Aug. 6.

Representatives of the Brooklyn
ganization conferred for several hours
yesterday with officials OF the COM
pany regarding the company's proposal

s. 1t was stated that the employees
told the officials they had expected a
cut in pay. but that they would not
be willing to accept a cut of 20 per
cent. which was understood to have
been the figure suggested. No decision
was reached.
A counter proposal which the COM
pany took under consideration was a
small cut with longer hours of work.
Nine hours, 1t was stated, was rro-
posed by some of the employees, but
that they baked at a suggestion Of
ten hours. The ten hour arrangement
OF shifts and relays. II was stated,
would net the men a slight increase
per week even at reduced rate Of
pay, and of course would result In
considerable increase In the hours
worked 1t could not be learned what
the attitude of the company was
toward the ten hou. proposal
1t Is understood that the representa-
tives or the men did most of the talk
ing. the company's representatives de-
string to learn as fully as possible the
feeling of the employees toward all con-
ditions regarding their pay and work
In the discussion OF the extent to
which wages should be cut II was
pointed out to the company that cleo
trio railway employees in Massachusetts
had accepted a reduction of 1914 per
cent. 1t also was brought out that re-
ductions of 20 per cent. have been ac-
cepted in Detroit and Cleveland.

Slaughter of Buffalo
Herd Lanlented Here

Government officials yesterday
"deplored." but said they were
powcrless to stop the slaughter Of
buffalo on Antelope Island in Salt
Lake, Utah. The company which
owns the herd is to allow them to
be killed by hunters who pay $500
for the privilege.
DR. T. W. Nelson, head Of the
biological survey OF the Agriculture
Department, said the government
could stop the killing only by buy
ing the herd indicated and he did
not think this advisable. Inciden-
tally he shattered the belief that
the buffalo are about to become eN-
tinCt.
According to DR.. Nelson, the buff
falo now protected by the govern
ment have increased rapidly and
the question of how they can be
cared for promises to become a
pressing one because of the cN-
pense to the government which it
involves.
