After Nearly Three Months Trouble

WORKERS ACCEPT TERMS

Glitter Fight wased With other
Unions Considering Taking Sides
With Miners; Work In Pits
De Resumed Promptly.

By United Press.
I.ondon.-Tho greatest threat e
the Industrial life Of Great Britain
since the war passed with the an
nouncement today that the British
coal strike was settled when the
miners accepted the terms offered
by the government.
For nearly three montha the coal
pits Of Great Britain have been idle,
but under the agreement. work Is to
be resumed and the men are eX.
pected to take up their former Jobs
in the mines Immediately.
Shortly after the miners were
called out. nearly three months ago,
violence was threatened and for a
time II appeared as II the British
government would have to fight the
triple alliance, composed of the
three big unions of Great Britain
the Miners, the Transportation
Workers and the Railroaders. with
the possibility of the electricians
coming into the fight.
The miners made a strong plea to
the railroad men and the transport
ers and a number OF meetings were
held, In which II appeared that the
support of the two other big unions
would be thrown to the miners.
British officials called several con
ferences. between the miners, the
colliery owners and the government
men in an effort to iron out the
differences or effect truce until
an agreement could be reached. At
first the miners refused truce
when the owners demanded that, the
pumping crews be left on the jobs
to keep the mines free from water.
Several outbreaks resulted when the
striking miners rushed the pumping
crews and drove them from the
mines.
Serious trouble was averted when
the transport. workers and railroad
men decided not to go out in sym
pathy with the miners. The gov
ernment, during the weeks immed-
lately following the walkout took
every precaution to safeguard the
nation against eventualities. Troops
were assembled at stragetic points,
food supplies were gathered in great
stores and there was considerable
agitation toward the return to a
wartime basis with regard to fuel,
lights and food.

Drummers checked the Chicks in
their race for the first half pennant
by taking both games of a double
header here this afternoon, the score
being 8 to | and 4 to 3.
Andy Jelsma was too much for
the visitors in the first game. He
allowed them only 6 hits and was
invincible in pinches. Timely blows
won for Drumright.
Drap Hayes nine put over their
lone run in the second when Sturdy
doubled went to third while J. Nc
Lean was being retired, Olson to
Speer, and scored when Poolaw
raped out a double.
Mickey Hughes robbed O'Bryne of
.safe blow when he raced over be-
hind first base and stabbed a line

Hayes used three pitchers in an
attempt to stop the Drummers in
the second game. Bunched hits and
bases on balls was the undoing of
Curry and Henry. Adcock stopped
the attack but not in time to win
the game. Marker held the visitors
to five blows in the second game.
