IiEJOICTN'G IX ENGLAND. United Press Assn. —By Electric Teleg raph—Copvright. RUGBY. January 25. The settlement of the threatened labour dispute in the coalfields was received with general satisfaction and thankfulness. The Morning Post says: “Coalowners and miners are to be universal].!' congratulated on the spirit of mutual conciliation which enabled them to avert an outbreak of industrial strife in an hour of national mourning.” These felicitations are echoed in nearly identical language by the Manchester Guardian. The Daily Telegraph, rejoicing because there is to be no coal strike, says: “Instead there is peace, a valuable advance in wages to the miners and new, well-grounded hope of better relations and conditions ” A joint standing consultative committee is the principal concession on the part of the owners added to the offer they made earlier this month which the men then rejected. The committee is to discuss all matters of common interest, including general principles for the determination of wages ill districts. Referring to the formation of th,is body, the Times says it is the best augury.
