WELSH COLLIERIES
STRIKE NOTICES WITHDRAWN COMPANY TO MEET MINERS (Received September 6, 6.35 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 5 The refusal yesterday of the Bedwas Colliery Proprietary to permit a ballot to be taken for the purpose of determining whether the E«:dwas workmen wish to join the South Wales Miners' Federation brought about a critical situation throughout the Welsh coalfields. The South Wales miners' executive, however, to-day withdrew the notice they had given of a strike which would have involved 120,000 miners. The chairman of the Bedwas Colliery Proprietary, Sir Samuel Instone, will meet the miners' officials next week. Meanwhile there will be no victimisation. MINERS' RECORD 213 HOURS UNDERGROUND LONDON, Sept. 4 The strikers in the Fernhill Colliery, Glamorgan, Wales, have broken the stay-down record. They have been underground for 213 hours. A doctor descended the pit to-day, and ordered the removal of one man who was seriously ill.
