BRITISH COAL MINERS.
TALK OF IMPENDING GRAVE. CALAMITY. (Elec. Tel. Copyright-United Press Assn.) LONDON, March 8. The coal owners in Durham and Northumberland have given notice to the miners, terminating their contracts in a fortnight, and other districts will probably follow. The owners point out that the step is formal and a necessary sequel to de-control, but the miners detect therein a determination to insist on district regulation of wages, whereas thd miners make national regulation the cardinal point of their policy. Their leaders are already talking of an impending very grave calamity. The question is being discussed by the Miners’ Conference on Thursday. Mr. Rmillie has again tendered his resignation to the Miners’ Union. It is understood he feels that his health is not equal to the strain of a prolonged struggle, which seems inevitable, according to some leaders of the miners’ union.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
