nounced to-day.

From, Tho Trfbune's Buropean Bureau
LONDON, July 31.-Embargo on the
expectation of coal to the United States
will be recommended to the Interna-
tional Federation Of Miners at its meet
ing at Frankfort this week, due to the
initiative of the executive committee of
che miners union in South Wales. 1t
was resolved to communicate with
Frank Hodges, president of the Miners
Federation of Great Britain, to the eff
feet that in the opinion Of the South
Wales council the export Of coal to
America should be stopped.
The Great Britain federation already
has referred the question TO the inter
national committee with the object, it
Ia believed, of sidetracking it. 1t is
thought here that 1t is unlikely any &C.
tion will be taken on the South Wales
motion.
CARDIFF, July 81 (By The Associ-
stsd Press The council Of TIE South
Wales Miners Federation approved a
resolution to-day from the Rhondda
district in favor Of preventing the ex-
port Of coal to America. President
Hartshorn Of the federation explained
that the matter had been referred to
tho international committee. 1t was re-
solved to communicate the action Of
the South Wales Federation to Frank
Hodges, national secretary Of the Min
ers' Union, stating the opinion Of the
South Wales council and urging that
the international committee should take
steps to prevent the export of coal to
America.
BUSINESS was duleter In Cardiff to-
day. Prices, however, were firm at the
coal exchange. With the collieries
fully booked, there is little disposition
to enter further commitment
HARTLEPOOL, England, July 81
The f1rst shipment of coal for America
was made to-day when $500 tons was
loaded. Another steamship has begun
loading 5000 tons more.
BERLIN, July 81 (By The Associat-
ed Press1.--Ths coal strike in the
United States Is beginning seriously to
affect German industrial circles, owing
to the competition German buyers are
meeting with in English markets on
account Of the American demand. Ger
many is compelled to import 100000
tons Of English coal monthly in order
TO make up tho domestic deficit result
ing from deliveries of German coal to
the Entente.
1t is pointed out that the cost of i'm
porting this coal, which is $500, 900 900
paper marks q month, exceeds the
monthly clearing house payments to
the Entente. totaling 100000, and
IL little under the monthly repara-
tions payments Of 50,0OO,00o gold
marks.
