TO TERMINATE AGREEMENT
British Miners Vote overwhelmingly To Terminate Wage Contracts At End of Three Months.

London, Jan. 1S.-Miners" Fedora tion headquarters here made public today the figures of the recent ballot taken throughout the coal fields. They show that the vote was 510,303 for the termination of the national wages agreement and 1l4,55S against the termination.
 As three months notice must be given by the miners executives to the owners, announcing the termina- tion of the agreement, there is ample time for negotiation as to reconsider ation of the miners demands for more money before there is a resort to the strike weapon. It is pointed out, however, that the to l ballot in favor of terminating the agreement indicates that great amount of dis satisfaction exists among the miners who have been striving for a year to wiring a concession from the owners.

CRISIS FACES PREMIER
Japanese Political Leader Has Tough Job On His Hands As Majority Is
 Hostile To His Policy.

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, Jan. 1S.--A political crisis confronts Japan as a result of a split in the Seiyukai, majority political party of the lower house of the diet, following announcement yesterday of the opposition of Viscount Takahashi, president of the Seiyukai, to tho new ly formed cabinet of Viscount Kiyoura which has the support of the Kenk- qukai. a ruling faction of the house of peers.
 Four of the most influential iieuten- ants of Viscount Takahashi, all of whom were members of his cabinet prior to a its collapse in 1922, have announced their withdrawal from the Sciyukai and their intention to form a new party to support Premier Xii youva. They are expected to draw nearly half the parliamentary strength of the Seiyukai away from Viscount Takahashi, whose announced opposi- ton was expected to sound the death knell of the Kiyoura ministry.
 The premier still is facing large, hostile majority in the lower house, but the certainty which seemed ap- parent yesterday, that the new cab inet would be forced to resign, now apparently has. passed.
