COALOWNERS OFFER TO MINERS.
London, April. 20.
#
The coalowners new offer proposes the establishment of National Wages Board to deal with principles applicable to the whole country, which are to be applied to the determination of wages in each district based upon district financial results, The periods for ascertainment of the district results will be settled nationally. The point below which the wages will not be automatic- ally reduced will be determined nationally by reference to the base rates now existing in each colliery, including all additions since July, 1914, this representing earnings considerably exceeding the bighest earnings of any period before the war. Besides these rates, the workers will be given as wages the whole surplus of revenue of each district during the existing abnormal period. The workers representatives in each district shall be satisfied that the district proposes to pay all wages It can bear. Owners will confer with the workers representatives with the view to dealing with the wages of the lower paid men and agree with the workers nationally an to the relation between wages and profits in future. There will also be joint audits of the owners books by accountanta representing the owners and workers to ascertain all the facts and figures necessary for adjustment of wages,
GERMANY'S OBLIGATIONS.
London, April 20.
With regard to the ocupation of the Ruhr coalfield in the event of Germany not fulfilling her obligations, a French source points out that if the German miners in the occupied coal basin refuse to work, Germany will have no coal, as the only other German coalfield, apart from Upper Silesia, is the Saxon basin, which is very poor. This will threaten Germany with a general stoppage, which surely will compel her to carry out her obligations. It is emphasised that France does not desire to annex German territory but simply to moke Germany pay the estimated three milliards francs obtainable | annually from the Ruhr.
M. Berthelot, Marshal Foch, Viscount Curzon and Field Marshal; Wilson will attend a Conference at Lympne during the weekend, which is the outcome of a letter by M. Brland to Mr. Lloyd George declaring that the time has come to end German quibblings andĮ that it was now time for action.
