5000 Miners Enter Pits in
Two Counties, Defying
Union Officials.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. August 24.-The suspen-
sion of coal digging in England, which
has lasted four months. was broken
yesterday, and coal was brought up
from the mines in Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire. About 5000 miners,
in defiance of their official leaders,
descended into the pits and resumed
work on the ~ hour day basis.
In the meantime A. J. Cook, secre-
tarS of the miners federation, and
his associates are working hard to
prevent the growth Of this breakaway,
which. however, has not been on
such a big scale as the owners had
hoped. a similar break in Warwick
shire occurred early in the present
dispute. but was speedily checked by
the miners leaders and active picket.

The break in the miners ranks is
limited to the two counties named:
there is still no sign of the men yield
ing in northumberland. Yorkshire or
South Wales. Only comparatively
small percentage of the men who had
signed on descended into the pits in
the early morning shift; others came
on the later shift. and more are eX-
pected to resume work tomorrow. But
there We're evident signs that Secre-
tary Cooks lightning tour through
the counties had spread indecision
among the men.
Both cabinet ministers and labor
leaders are absent from London and
no attempt IS being made at negotia-
tons for settlement.

HOLDS STABILITY
NEEDED BY FARMER
Meredith Declares Collateral
for Loans Must Be Steady
to- Assist Credits.
BY the Associated Press.


DIES MONIES, August 24.-Stabili-
zation Of the price of products of the
farmers is what they need rather than
800. 200 900 loan fund, in the opinion
of r. T. Meredith of Des Moines, Sec
rotary of Agriculture in President
Wilson's cabinet.
Mr.. Meredith expressed his opinion
in addressing a local farm organiza
ton. 1t was reported in New York
recently that plan for a 500, 000. 600
credit for farmers was to be consid-
cred by President Coolidge, but this
was followed by a denial at the sum
mer White House, at Paul Smiths,
n. y, that the President had any
knowledge of any such plan.
There Is no more need for an insti-
tuition for financing the farmer" Mr.
Meredith said. than there is for
financing city business. ANY business
man with stable security can find
necessary money. That is the point
The farmers security under our pres
ent system is not. secure. No one
| knows now what corn, now worth
20 cents. will he worth six months
hence. Possibly 81; possibly but 81
cents. The banker cannot speculate
as to the value of the collateral he
| takes. He needs to be safe. He must
loan on agricultural products as
though the price will go off 80 pei
cent during the term of the loan-this
due to the f1uctuation in the price OF
agricultural products.
THE greatest aid to the financing OF
the farmer would be 10 stabilize his
collateral-hiS corn. cotton, etc.-sC
| that his collateral may be looked upon
favorably by all the financial institu
tions of the country: StabilZing the
price does not necessarily mean higher
prices or fixed prices over a term OF
years. but it. does mean stabilized
prices for a season.
