BRITISH MINING STRIKE
DEADLOCK CONTINUES IMPORTED GCAL COMING IN Presa Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 30. - (Received May 31, at 12.45 p.m.) At midnight to-morrow Mr Baldwin’s offer of a tapering subsidy for the coal industry expires, but there is no sign of any escape from a stalemate. The miners’ leaders continue to put obstacles in the way of negotiations, having turned down Mr Varley’s small wage and Mr Hodges’s longer working day. At a largo demonstration in Albert Hall, Air A. J. Cook declared: “Wo will not recede from our position on hours and wages unless we are beaten by starvation. That would be a victory dearly bought for the Government.” Meanwhile Foreign Office coal is beginning to trickle in, three cargoes having been unloaded. A few miners are going back at Mansfield and North Warwick.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
