------

The trouble began on November 10, when the con- ciliation Board met to consider the application of the men for an increase of fifteen percent, in their wages, based on the average seling price and a counter-application by the
• owners for a reduction of ten per cent, on the ground of in- creased cost of production.
1)
The men at the outset of the conference demanded a joint audit of the cost of production. The owners refused; and the Board declined to consider the applications. There after the men pay the case to the Board of Trade. Mea- while the unrest in the coalfield has been growing with theincrease of living and a general strike was feared on December 1-the dato which the men had stipulated for an increase of wages. This has been averted by the Government's action.

Representatives of the owners, interviewed, say they were not prepared for so revolutionary a step, but reserve judgment. "
