By some means more money must be found for the miners. That is the conclusion which few dare to resist. Coal is a product essential to Great Britain both for use and as an export which pays for imports. Upon the continued working of this industry depends the prosperity of the country: yet a decent living wage denled to a large proportion of the men engaged in it. They have grievances, but the only grievance whose redress they are insisting on at the present momerit is that of low pay.

the exporting districts, which sell coal abroad in competition with state-subsidized coal from other countries. The upshot is that the claims of the miners in the poorest districts cannot be met unless the resources of the industry through- out the whole country are pooled.
Though the men are determined and many of the owners are in- transigeant, both sides desire a settlement. If means can be found to offer a substantial increase of wages a strike will be avoided. But that will not be the end of the question. There is no great indus- hand in its organization as mining.
