EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

UPPER SILESIA.

Paris, May 30.

Notwithstanding the miners' rejection of the Government pro- While readily concurring in the British Government's view as pasal there is a firm impression that this protracted dispute will be to the expediency of the meeting of the Supreme Connell at Boulogne settled at an early date. It is believed that the air is likely to be to discuss the Upper Silesian problem, the French Government, considerably cleared by the owners' reply to the Government, which according to Le Temps expressed the opinion that order should indicates points whereon an agreement can be built up. The reply. first be restored there so as to make sure that the Council's de- basides laying down views, enteés into particulars which elucidate fcisions would be respected by the Poles and Germans alike. the terms of previous offers. Moreover, it contains a plan pro- viding improvement thereon which will increase the colliers' pay

A Paris May 31. French political circles feel gratified at the Dutch Govern- (under revised conditions. The owners further agree to a sub-ment's prompt acceptation of the French proposal for appointing sistence wage for low paid workers. The miners are meeting to- an Experts Committee on the Upper Silesian frontier-Vale day when it is likely that they will consider the foregoing. Also, there is a well-supported proposal from Northumberland that a'| Inational conference be convened to discuss the position.

The fact that several railways have announced their intention to Increase train services and reports that the miners in one or two districts are displaying an inclination to resume work is regarded as confirming hopes for an early coal settlement. The miners at Swanwick, Derbyshire, resumed yesterday, agreeing to a temporary settlement and to-day work was proceeding satisfactorily. Large numbers are engaged in clearing away heavy falls on the under- ground roadways and the ponies were taken down. There was a partial resumption of work at Haywood Colliery, Lanarkshire, to-day. The Execative of the Miners' Federation met in London to-day. Interviewed baforehand they declared themselves unanimous in rejecting the coalowners' latest offer, but after a two hours' con ference the Executive received a message from the Premier and adjourned to June 6 to consider it.

Later.

London, June 5. Reuter is informed that the situation in Upper Silesia is not improved. Insurgents are blowing up bridges and preventing the passage of food trains, parties of Poles firing on the engineers repairing the lines. The Poles have seized Pless and holsted the Polish flag. The French garrison at Pless remains in barracks. The Poles surrounded Tarnowitz and seized the railway sation, though the French remain in the town.

GERMAN WAR CRIMINALS.

Leiprig, June 4 The trial of the fourth and last British exaes of German war criminals concluded when Karl Neumann, who was in charge of a submarine which sank the hospital ship Dover Castle, was acquitted on the ground that he was bound to obey the orders of his superiors. The President said the German Government would bear all costs of the Neumann case. He said that all civilised nations te-

The Premier replied to the Miners' Executive that the Govern- ment has nothing farther to propose in regard to its offer of May 27 which cannot be prolonged for more than a fortnight.

The denniteness of the Premier's letter to the Miners' Executivecognised the principle that a subordinate was covered by the or created a sensation among the recipients. A significant point in the ders of his superiors. There was nothing to prove the accused letter is the suggestion that a miners' ballot be taken on the ze guilty of cruelty as the Allies alleged. The court opined that jected Government proposals during the fortnight while the offer is his orders were justiñed. The British Commission afterwards still open. Hitherto rejection has been the result of the voting bade farewell to the President. of the District Councils The Sunday Times insists on the desirabi- lity of a ballot, and meetings are being held of colliery enginemen in Scotland demanding a ballot as a test of the real feeling of the miners on the question of resumption.

ENGINEERS' WAGES.

London, June 4. The rountry is unexpectedly faced with the threat of another grave labour crisis over the troublesome question of reduction of wages, the time in the engineering trade. The Engineering and National Employers' Federations have notified their intention to issue wage reduction notices on the 7th inst. The reductions com- prise & cut of six shillings on time workers and 15 per cent, on piece workers wages and Ministry of Munition bonuses. As an outcome of the failure of two months' negotiations the employers state that the unions have taken up a non possumus attitude. The employers proposed a reduction in two instalments. A delegate of the Employees Conference stated that before the announcement of the decision they were endeavouring to obtain modified proposals and a compromise settlement.

A three shillings' reduction in wages in two instalments is announced in the paint trade.

THE UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM.

London, June 4. -

In consequence of the severe drain on the unemployment in- surance fund during the past two months it has become insolvent. The Government, consequently, has decided to reduce the benefit thereunder and increase the contributions payable by all parties. It is stated that at the end of February the accumulated balance totalled £20,000,000 and is now exhausted. Current payments have been made of £1,800,000 weekly to 2,000,000 people whereas the income of the fund is only £600,000. The deficit has been met from the Treasury by a loan of £10,000,000 which is almost spent. The benefits at present paid under the Act are 20 weekly for men and 18,- for women,

The closing of all cotton mills in Lancashire to-day in conse quence of the failure of the owners and operatives to reach a settlement is regarded as most disastrous.
