AMERICA MEETS LABOUR CRISIS
ROOSEVELT DELAYS
MINE STRIKE
TOLEDO WORKERS NOW WILL ARBITRATE
Washington, June 14.
六拜禮 號五十月六英港香
The personal intervention of President Roosevelt has again averted a major industrial catastrophe in the United States. The President, at a conference at the White House to-day, secured the promise of the Union leaders of the butuminous coal miners that a strike involving 145,000 men, called for Monday, would be postponed until July 1..
President Roosevelt made it clear that he wanted more time in which to attempt conciliation by means of arbitration.
This strike, which many believed would precipitate violence in the great coal mining areas, was called to enforce the maintenance of the New Deal standards of wages and working hours. It
was to a great extent
the result of the decision of the Supreme Court out- lawing the President's control of industry in the matter of working conditions.
The Union leaders fell in with The President's plan, leaving the proviso that the men must agree and that meanwhile the existing wage agreements should continue.
A recommendation to this effect will be put by the Union leaders to a mass meeting of miners to- morrow and it is confidently pected that It will be adopted. Reuter.

GERMAN BID FOR NAVAL POWER
BRITAIN MUST BE CONSIDERED
BASIS FOR MEASURING TONNAGE RATIO
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Reerived, June 15, 3 am.}}
London, June 14. With regard to the proposed Anglo-German agree- ment on relative naval strength, a particularly im- portant point is that in reckoning Germany's potential tonnage deduction, will be made from the British sea power représented by ships which are now out of date or on the way to obsolescence.
This point is revealed by Reuter's diplomatic cor- respondent to-day.
Thus, he explains, when the German building programme is completed in five or six years' time, Germany's Fleet will correspond in categorical ton- nage to 35 per cent. of Britain's strength of that day, and not of the present date..

It is expected that the conversa- IS devoted to an analysis of figures tions of the next few days will be relating to tonnage and armament of various kinds of warships, so that the agreed ratio of 35 per eent. for Germany's navy can be shaped into a practical working understanding-Reuter and Reuter
