SOUTH WALES TO
 ESCAPE DANGER
 OF MORE STRIKES
Mine Owners and Employees Have Signed a Three Year Agreement That Will Do Away With Trouble

Cardiff, Wales, Feb 1O.-UP)- A three year agreement signed be- tween coal mine owners and em- ployes was believed to-day to have removed the danger of further stop- page in the South Wales coal fields.
 Miners went on strike here early In January, on telegraphic orders from union executives in London, when negotiations there had failed to settle differences over the own- CTS demands for wage cuts in con- nection with the Spread over" sys- ter of working hours Over 14O,- 900 men were idle until January 19, when provisional agreement was reached and the miners went back to work
 During the negotiations, miners leaders issued manifesto stating that the owners term would mean that 30, 900 miners would receive from about S7.50 to $9.00 week, leaving thousands with only about $5 after deductions for their rent. This will mean irretrievable ruin of a community already reduced to beg gary by years of trade depression - the manifesto said.
 The miners asked the government to induce the owners to accept the recommendation of the national in- dustrial board that the spread over system be operative without q wage reduction. They requested subsidy to assist the coal industry in its present difficulties.
 The spread over system provides that the miners work 45-hour week with longer working hours in some days than on others, instead of working a straight seven and a half hour day. The system was made legal by the passage of the govern ments new coal bill. but it has not been accepted by all the lining dis tricts.
