STRIKING MINERS.
URGED TO GO BACK. IMFERIIXING SETTLEMENT. LONDON, April 6 The Miners' Federation, in a manifesto, urges the miners to remain at work and refrain from imperilling the settlement advised by the conference, and also imperilling the future advantages from the continued investigations of the Coal Commission. There are 140,000 miners on strike, 70,000 being in Wales, and .'IO.OOO in Nottingham. Considerable numbers, including 30,000 in South Wales, have resumed. They only struck through a misunderstanding, believing they were carrying out the instructions of their leaders. Mr J. H. Thomas (general secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen) stated in an interview that the decision of the conference luid rescinded the strike resolution. He added that a settlement had been reached, subject to an agreement on some points still outstanding. The National Industrial Council adopted far-reaching proposals for a national wage, maximum week, and other vital industrial matters. The Premier has promised early legislation.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
