TYPHUS EPIDEMIC.

DANGER OF INTERNATIONAL. MENACE.

LONDON, September 4. Owing to the danger of the typhus epidemic in Poland and Galicia becoming an international menace, Mr. Balfour, on behalf of the League of Nations Council has appealed to the various governments for the immediate provision of £250,000 of the £10,000,000 required for combatting the menace. He emphasised that the recent military events had made the need for relief more urgent.

THREATENED STRIKE.

MINERS' LEADER AGREEABLE TO MEDIATION.

LONDON, September 4. The Sunday Times publishes an interview with Mr. Smillie, the miners' leader, in which he expresses willingness to accept mediation by an impartial board on the principle of the wages granted being commensurate with the real increase in the cost of living and the reduction of the cost of living preferably brought about by a diminution in the price of coal. Sir Robert Horne welcomed Mr. Smillie's statement and hoped that it would

lead to a settlement.

LOOPHOLE..FOR SETTLEMENT.

As regards Mr. Smillie's declaration last evening, accepting the principle of mediation, Sir Robert Horne, in an interview, said that the Government would gladly let an Industrial Court.decide concerning the miners' demand for increased wages and that the Court, if the miners desired it. could include representatives of the employers and the miners. Sir Robert Horne was of the opinion that the Miners Federation objected to an Industrial Court, but pointed out that nearly all the other great Trade Unions of the country had resorted to it, and that the Court in recent times had proved of great efficacy. Sir Robert Horne added that Mr. Smillie's statement appeared to offer a loophole for an ultimate settlement, even if failing with reference to an Industrial Court. Finally he emphasised that the supreme necessity at present was the increased production of coal, and that increased I production would justify the reconsideration of the whole wages question.
