Welsh Coal Strike
Spreads With 9O9o
'0f Miners Out
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 9.-The Welsh
coal strike assumed more alarm
ing proportions today when a
fresh wave of walkouts boosted
the number of idle miners to
90,000-or about 80 per cent of
the total in the coal fields.
A total of 165 mines now are idle
as a result of the wage dispute
which is depriving Britain's war
industries of sorely needed fuel and
threatening to cripple the transpor-
tation system.
The strike spread this morning
to the Swansea anthracite district,
when IA pits closed there.
Miners Ignore Appeal.
The new walkouts dealt a severe
blow to optimism engendered late
yesterday when it appeared that
one of the chief obstacles to set
tlement Of the dispute was removed
at a conference of miners and opera
tors presided over by Fuel Minister
Gwilym Lloyd George.
Another 1000 miners in nine
Scottish pits quit, disregarding their
unions appeals to remain at work
pending a meeting of miners and
operatives next Tuesday.
Lloyd George accepted an agree
ment between the operators and
men permitting extra pay for those
working in excessive dust and water
and at the same time promised
that certain other matters" con-
cerning allowances peculiar to South
Wales would be considered "afteI
the men have gone back to work.
Except in isolated instances, how
ever, the miners ignored the fuel
minister's appeal to return to the
pits pending a full review of the
wage problem. Two collieries re-
sumed operations and two or three
others were working with skeleton
crews, but there was no general
back-to-work move. 4
Press Reflects Concern.
Editorial comment in the British
press reflected grave concern over
the consequences of a strike at a
time when the world is talking about
IA coming Allied offensive against
Western Europe
Union leaders said they were join
ing the government in appealing to
the miners to return to work, but
declared the men hao demanded a
full explanation of the governments S
intentions.
There seemed little chance of a
break in the deadlock-at least until
a meeting of the strike leaders Sat-
urday. The South Wales Miners
Council will meet tomorrow and is
expected to make a strong recon-
mendation that work be resumed
Immediately.
Not a pound of coal was being
mined in the Aberdare Valley, where
$500 men were idle.

DR.. Meyer, a director of the

expressed belief that the NCHA is

its continuance in its present form.
