Existing Wage Agreements
End May 1st-Miners Will
Not Accept Cut Owners Say
Must Be Made-State Subsi-
dy That Cost Government
20,000,000 Pounds Sterling
Will End on April 80

London, April 1S.-(P)-Events in
the coming fortnight will decide
whether there shall be peace or war
In the British coal industry. The
position, although less serious. has
much similarity with the position
last July when another crisis was
threatened and was only averted by
the government providing a state
to pay wages which the owners
claimed were not justified by the
economic condition of the industry.
This subsidy, which cost the coun-
try some 2O,000,0O0 pounds sterling.
will come to an end April 80. and the
mine owners are already posting
notices terminating the existing
wage agreements on May l. They are
also preparing schedules of new
wage scales for the mems acceptance
but there is no indication as yet of
the reductions they propose.
The miners have refused to con-
sent to any reduction whatever;
therefore either a strike or lock-
out seems inevitable unless a settle
ment can be adjusted within the
next fortnight.
The government today Is in a much
better position than when in July
last it was caught without any policy
and it is believed that when Prem
Ter Baldwin sees the mine owners
next Tuesday he vii! be prepared
for helping the disputants to agree.
All that is yet known is that the
government is prepared to grant
temporary financial assistance to
bridge the gap between the cessation
of the subsidy and the settling down
of the industry under new condi-
