MINERS STILL DEMAND NATIONAL WAGES AGREEMENT.
SETTLEMENT PROSPECTS INDEFINITE.
Londol, April 20..
Replying to the owners' żew proposals, the Miners' Federation declares that their offer merely again formulates previous proposals and is and meaningless. The Federation reiterates its demand for a national wages board and a national levy on tonnage.
LATER.
The prospect of the miners' executive modifying their present demands is not encouraged by the majority of the decisions hitherto published from various districts. One of the most important of these was made at Cardiff to-day when a full delegate conference of the South Wales Miners! Federa tion again affirmed its previous resolutions insisting on a national wage agreement and profts pool, and demanded the rescission of the resolution passed by the Miners Federation of Great Britain pertailing safety work in the mines. It also requested the resignation of Mr. Hodges.

GERMAN REPARATIONS.
In the House of Commons, Maj. Sir J. K. Baird, on behalf of the Rt. Hon. Mr. Shurtt, stated that the Government was paying attention to Bolshevist propaganda in Britain. It fell under three heads, namely payment of wages. ment of salaries to communist officials of £5 to 210 a week, subsidies to
believed that this expenditure was at least £23,000 a month. There was: evidence that some of the funds came from Moscow before the trade agreement was signed. Communist agents had undoubtedly been attempt- ing to expicit the unemployed whose unofficial committees in many indus trial centres are chiefly carried on by paid Red agents whose policy is to concentrate upon centres of industrial nerest. Mach mischievous pro- paganda had been undertaken by persons who contrive to keep within the law but the police were able to deal with them in some instances.
GOLP-LINES TRAGEDY.
INQUEST LEAVES MYSTERY UNSOLVED.
A SINISTER FEATURE.
LONDON, April 20.
The inquest on the Ashford golf links tragedy has not solved the mystery of who murdered. Vincent Fovargue (who disappeared four months ago from Dublin where he was wanted as a Sinn Feiner), in spite of the greatest police efforts to solve the crime. The theory is that it was a Sinn Fein crime, the victim being shot after leaving a dance et Fulham. The body was conveyed to Ashford golf links in a motor car. A sinister feature of the inquest was that seven jurymen received letters threatening that there would be bereavements in their families if a certain verdict was returned. The verdict was "murdered by a person unknown.”
