INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
(By Electric Telegraph.:—Copyright.) (United Press Association.* (Received 9, 10.10 a.m.) London, May 8. Lord St. Aldwyn’s announcement of the decision of the Conciliation Board created a scene. The Miners’ representatives declined to accept the advance of threepence, whereupon Lord St. Aldwyn threatened to resign. The miners retorted that his resignation would lie acceptable to them. It is understood that Lord St Aldwyn’s intimation that the owners were not offering sufficient led to an advance of twopence. Mr Hartshorn states that no one would receive any advance by Lord St. Aldwyn’s decision. If the Court had been formed to intensify bitterness it could not have achieved its object more successfully.
