LABOR DISQUIET.
WOOL COMBERS GIVE WAY.
MINERS' MINIMUM WAGE.
(Received Jan. 12, 8.19 a.m.)
LONDON, Jan. 11. The wool combers have decided to resume at the masters' terms. The Northumberland coal owners' manifesto declares that a fixed minimum wage, irrespective of work performed, is impracticable. They are unable to concede it, believing that payment proportionate to work is reasonable. Mr Enoch Edwards is hopeful of a solution of the dispute. He denies the existence of an agreement for a simultaneous strike in Germany.
