WILL NOT RECEDE.
MINERS MAINTAIN THEIR POSITION. NO SIGN OF ESCAPE FROM STALEMATE. BY CABLE—PRESB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, May 30. At midnight to-morrow Mr. Baldwin’s offer tapering the subsidy in the coal industry expires, but there is no sign of any escape from- the stalemate. The miners’ leaders continue to put up negations, turning down Mr. Parley’s small wage and Mr. Hodge’s longer working day. At a large demonstration at Albert Hall, Mr Cook declared: “We will not recede from our position on hours and wages unless beaten fry starvation. That will be a victory dearly bought for the Government.” Meanwhile foreign coal is beginning to trickle in. and three cargoes have been unloaded. A few miners are going back at Mansfield and North Warwick.
