BACK TO NORMAL.
Rugby, Doc. 1
The coal stoppage, ahould be at | an end throughout the country to
morrow. A small Cumberland" area is the only district where it settlement has not yet been reached, and the ballot which is being completed there to-day is expected to favour a return to work."
There is considerable variation In the terms renched in the dis tricts: The cenditions of coai- getting differ considerably, but, generally they provide for wages at least equivalent to the pre- stoppage rates in return for longer working hours. In areas other than the midland coalfields, re turns are no longer issued as pro- duction has reached pre-stoppare level. Nearly 70,000 miners, re turned to the pits yesterday. No further figures are being tasued as the position throughout the coun try is rapidly approaching normal. Following a large resumption of work in Northumberland, it is pro- bable that a further concession re- garding bunker coal will be an nounced shortly.
The embargo on the export of coal is being maintained unti domestle requirements are satis fled. Normal winter train services fre
