PROPOSED NATIONAL WAGES BOARD.
APPEALS FOR CO-OPERATION.
Government Resumes Role of Mediator.
There is no note of triumph or exaltation, but a spirit of con- Ciliation and willingness to co-operate, manifest in the official announcements of the cancellation of the general strike,
The decision was largely due to the intention of Sir Herbert Samuel, who submitted a scheme providing for a resumption of the subsidy for a reasonable period and the establishment of a National Wages Board, including representatives of both parties and an in- dependent Chairman.“ -
The cancellation, of the strike is absolutely unconditional, but the proclamation of a state of emergency will remain in force at present.
The Miners" Federation was not consulted regarding the terms. of settlement, and the stoppage of their work is to continue indefinitely.
