MINERS END “STAY-IN” STRIKE
292 HOURS’ ENTOMBMENT. (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) London, September 9. Shielding their eyes with their hands, and staggering after a record 292 hours’ entombment, the Femhill “stay-in” strikers returned to the daylight today, black-faced and heavily bearded. Two doctors awaited the men, but they were not needed. The men’s first demands were for cigarettes. The strike ended after the derision to submit the dispute to arbitration. A British Official Wireless message states that the conference between representatives of the owners and miners to discuss questions arising out of the threatened stoppage of work on the South Wales coalfield has opened in London under the independent chairmanship of Mr John Forster, a barrister who has had wide experience ,in matters affecting the coal mining industry.
