MINERS' EXECUTIVE'S CALL FOR GENERAL STRIKE.
London, June 18,
The Miners' Executive to-day decided to ask all Trade Unioas affected in wage disputes to meet them shortly with the object of taking national action with the miners to secure their mutual de- mands. Mr. Hodges said that this implied a general strike if the other Unions agreed. The decision of the Miners' Executive to: appeal for a general strika has come as a bambshell and makes the coal deadlock worse than ever. The Government's grant automa- tically lapses and the miners no longer have the opportunity of resuming with an initial reduction not exceeding one florin daily. The position of the Executive is embarrassing, as they are aware that there is a movement in the coaldelds in favour of resumption despite the ballot, wherein only sixty-four per cent of the miners voted. In view of the Triple Alliance failure it is not considered likely that other Unions contemplata a stoppage. The result of the
miners' ballot astonished even the Executive of the Federation. indicating that the men are still cbstinate on the subject of the question on which the strike was first declared, namely, a national pool. Nevertheless the owners are opening the pits on Monday, believing that numbers of men will resume, if not immediately certainly during the week. Mr. Lloyd George informed Mr. Hodges that the Government's offer of assistance of £10,000,000 cannot be renewed after to-morrow.
THE ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLMANCE.
London, June 19.
As regards the British Cabinet's advocacy of a renewed undar- standing with Japan, the Observer's diplomatic correspondent says that the Cabinet makes a fundamental point of its desire to prevent the partition of China, to preserve the open door to China, and give her a fair chance. Mr. J. D. P. Bland, is an article in the Observer, emphasises that no renewal of the Alliance can serve to promote peace in the Far East unless it sincerely reasserts the Article in the existing Treaty providing for the independence and integrity of China. It declares that China's weakness constitutes. the pivotal fact in the Far Eastern problem, . If this weakness is to be cured, China's independence preserved, and its resources: developed to the general advantage, it will be necessary before long for the Powers concerned to intervena, and insist upon certain real reform-namely the disbandiment of the Tuchun's rabble armies, the re-organisation of the administration and the restoration of normal fiscal relations between the Peking provinces. If. as the writer hopes and believes, the. Japanese Government is ready to co-operate-therein, a renewal of the Alliance will be an event of good sugury and welcome to every true friend of China,
