At a full meet- ing of the Miners Federation, it was d cided to take an immediate, ballot among the men as to whether or not they desire to accept the Government wage bill and return to work. The miners delegates will return to their respective districts at the earl- fest moment so that no tim shall be lost in carrying the result of the bal- Jot into effect. The text of the ballot papers is as follows: Are you. In favor of re- suming -work penditg settlement of the minimum wage rates in various grades by district hoards to be ap- pointed Under the cqal miners min- imum, wage act. More moderate members tried to get the federation to insert the recom- nendation on batlot-paper, but it-was declared to leave the men free choice. A bare majority of votes will be sufficient for the acceptance or the rejection of the proposition. Wm.

The Miners fed- eration met today to discuss the gen- eral situation and to consider the proposal for submitting to the min- ers the question of balloting whether the minimum wage bills should be ac- cepted. Mine owners also conferred but the result of their discussions has not ben made public.

Even if this hope should be realized, it will be necessary to take measures to relfeve the great distress and its Understood.the goveriment al- ready has decided on effective methods of carrying this out. Protection of the miners who resume work also must be provided for and it Is thought this would necessitate calling out the army reserves, It, is also likely the government will establish national wages, a board with an independent chairman to con- sider and determine on the proposals for the introduction of a minimum dally wage of 1.25 for men and 50 cents for boys on the understanding that with these two points settled all miners will return to work, while negotiations are proceeding for fix- ing the minimum rates for other grad- es of workmen. Already troops are in a state of pre paredness in Wales and at any mom- ent their services may be required to protect miners-at Brykinalle Colliery, who have been working for several days and-an attempt to-interfere with+ whom was made Iast night, Early this morning miners connected with the collieries of the surrounding dis- tricts began to march in a body to- wards Brykinalle and they were quic kly followed by a force.of'police res- erves.

As the evening began nobody knew what the later hours might bring forth, Reports of ministerial discus- sions were in the air and there were some expectations of a cabinet crisis vefore midnight. King George's de- cision to abandon his projected visit 'to the Earl of Derby's place, Knowl- sey, Lancashire, in connection with this disastrous coal strike makes it impossible for me to make any plans or to leave London, made it plain to his subjects that the monarch is in no mood for amusement while the destinies of the nation are trembling in the balance. Then Mr. Balfour had made early in the afternoon a speech which pointed out that the very foundations. of soc- iety were endangered by a situation Which He sata tua no-paraltet-in- the history of the country. Finally the echo of the tramp of marching feet and the clinking of military weapons struck upon the im- agination with vague forebodings of conflicts in an Industrial war which so far bas happily been marked by a practically complete absence of dis- order, but which is now probably reaching the stage where law and order and the right of men to work can only be guaranteed by force. This in Free England. Today the miners throughout the country will be notified that they can return to work under the conditions guaranteed by the wage bill. It is ex- pected that a good proportion of the men will be ready to resume, work and it 1s learned on first hand authority that the government has completed plans for the employment. of troops so as to insure that all who are will- ing to work shall be safeguarded from possibl violence at the hands for inclusionof-the Five clause in the minimum. wage. bill.
