COAL SITUATION UNCHANGED.
NEXT FEW DAYS CHARGED WITH FATEFUL CONSEQUENC
COUNTRY'S ECONOMIC LIFE THREATENE
LONDON, September 20. The coal situation did not change over the week-end, hat the next few days will be charged with the most fateful consequences for the county whose economic life is threatened with a shattering blow involving inevit |able destitution and misery for millions. Some quarters express hopeful- ness based on the reported readiness of the Government to provide a rush court of inquiry to investigate and report upon the wage arance in a few days. These quarters declare that Sunday's meetings in the mining districts indicated that the men are not anxious for a strike and admitted. that the public are generally against the miners. On the other hand, the meetings.showed that the men would support the leaders. Today's resumed conference between Sir Robert Horne and the miners' leaders is regarded as very critical and as the key to the situation.
GOVERNMENT ADAMANT.
Tomorrow" there meets in London the national conference of miners leaders to decide the question of a strike, while on Sept. 22 the railwaymen and transport workers meet to determine their attitude in the event of a strike. A dangerous factor as regards the railwaygen is the widespread belief that their union funds will be as hard hit by the miners' strike owing to unemployment doles as if the railwaymen struck and the Fuad carried strike pay. Consequently this view is encouraging the leaders to say "let us strike to get it over quickly and win." Meanwhile, it is authoritatively declared that the Government will not depart from its present policy, namely arbitration and inquiry must precede any grant of intressed wages, although slight modifications in the details are possible-
