"A brief dawn spread over Santa

Although the physical aspect of the

he asserted, had failed to use their

vent violation of the pact.

workers discuss whether the Jack

Mr.. Lewis said his references to
a shut down applied only to the soft
coal helds. Referring to the coming

hard coal miners would not accent

BRITISH WALKOUT LOOMS.
Declaration of War Seen in Operators
Order of Wage Cut.

LONDON. July l CP.-The mining
association representing the coal mine
owners gave formal notice yesterday
of intention TO terminate the agree
ment with the miners federation on
July 81, at the same time intima ting
that the basis of a proposal for a new
agreement had been considered and
would be communicated later
The terms of the proposal are not
known, but undoubtedly include an in
crease in hours and a reduction Of
wages, which it is practically certain
the miners will refuse. Hence. unless
negotiations in the meantime reach
compromise, there will be a serious
mining crisis at the end Of July.
Secretary Cook of the miners fed
Grafton characterizes the owners ac-
ton as "a declaration of war" No
body knows whether the upshot will
be a big strike. but the present action
is likely to stimulate the movement al
ready afoot TO revive the triple al
lance of miners, railway men and
transport workers, which collapsed on
the famous black Friday" a few
years ago.
Export Trade Lost.
Great Britain. in the opinion of
many experts, has lost, and is not like
ly TO regain, a large part of her ex-
port tTdue III coal owing TO the develop
ment of water-power electricity abroad
the increasing use of oil fuel and the
stimulation of German coal production
for reparations. More than 400 col
lieries closed down in the past year
and the annual loss of revenue through
coal exports is approximately $780,
600, 900
Stagnation in coal trade reacts on
the railways and means a loss of re-
munerative freiChta ge. Great Britain
lags behind the continent in the de-
velopment on a large scale of electri-
cal energy, which, il is argued, would
he more economic than the employ
ment of coal resources, compensating
partly for loss in the export trade.
The government. as Premier Bald
win announced yesterday, is still con
sidering this development. The prime
minister's suggestion 10 subsidize in

comment. In the meantime, unemploy-
ment, which showed a slight reduction
