London,
Sept.
17th.--Indications
that
leaders
of
the
Miners’
Federation
have
some
misgiving
relaiive
to
calling
a
strike
on September
the 25tn,
are
found
in
the announcement
that
a full
confer-
ence of the delegates
from
every mining
district
in
England
will
be
held
next
Tuesday.»
It
is
reported
that
a
large
number
of
miners
have
failed
to
give
strike
mo'ive and
the assertion
is made
that
many
leading
trade
unionists
are
lukewarm
in their supoor:
of the miners.
Another
conference

Sir
Rcbert
Horne,
President
of the
Board of Trade,
wili be
asked
by
theiminers’ representa-
tives, it is said.
Decisive action
for call-
ing a strike of miners
was
taken,
follow-
ing
the
Government’s
refusal
to
grant
an
increasein wages
amounting
to
IwWo
shillings
a
shift,
and
to reduce
the
price
of coal
fourleen
shillings and
twe
pence
per
ton.
The Govt.
is understood
to -be
willing to consider
the question
of wages
but ‘is adama
:t on
the demand
for a
re-
duction
on
coal price.
It is pointed
out
that the profit for
the last three
months
do
not
justify
the miners’ estimate
of
£600,000
for
the
whole
year,
and it
1s
declared
that
to reduce
prices
would
wipe out what profit is anticipated.
