IDLE COLLIERIES
NO WORK AT 420 SOUTH WALES PITS AIINERS IN GOOD HUAIOR (TT.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Copyright) • ■ ' LONDON, Jan. 1. Four hundred and twenty pits are idle ini South Wales. Only tlte safety men are on duty keeping the mines ready for a resumption of work, but coal getting continues at about 50 pits. • Good humor is general, and pickets at the mine entrance are cheery, and miners generally expect that the joint meeting between the owners and trade union leaders on Saturday • will find a solution to the trouble. “We are going to lose three days’ pay, which is more than we will lose in two months’ working on the terms if the federation had settled.” Miners’ wives generally are praying that the men may work again on Monday.
