Miners to Resume Work. Ge- V

if Action Is Taken ; Dcnv ,t
Profits Pool Abandon
.1
LONDON, June 28. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The British coal mine
strike, which has been in progress
since April' 1, has been settled, it was
officially announced today.
It was understood' that Lloyd
George, the prime minister, will ask
parliament to authorize the granting
of a 10,000,000-pound subsidy to the
mining industry. The miners will re
sume work generally Monday if the
subsidy is granted.
' The general understanding is that
the submission of the subsidy prop
osition to parliament is a mere for
mality, and that the grant will be
voted.
' Settlement of the dispute ends one
of. the greatest and most prolonged
labor . difficulties in which Great
Britain has ever been involved. Near
ly 1,000,000 miners were affected by
the stoppage, which now has been i
progress nearly three months, while
hundreds of thousands of other work
era have been thrown, out of employ
ment or forced to work on curtailed
time because of the coal scarcity.
The blow to British industry has
been a serious one.
The claim of the miners to a na
tipnal wagje pool had been abandoned,
Lloyd George said, and a eettlemen
had been attained which would in
sure peace for a long period through
a system by which the workers would
share with the employers the profits
of the industry and would obtain
direct interest in productivity. The
prime minister expressed the belief
that this would be the largest exam
pie of profit-sharing in any country.
The government has recommended
subsidy not exceeding 10,000.000
pounds for the period until the end of
September, he said. Wages will be
reduced slightly on a sliding scale,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. Thomas

bandit, escaped at Castle Rock, Wash.,
resigned his position today to become
an investigator for the national fire

OMAHA, June 28. When Nora
Cobb, 16 years of age, applied for a
divorce in district court today. Judge
Leslie said 1 e "guessed he would give
her a decree." adding that "she should
have a spanking along with It"
Mrs. Cobb told the judge she was
arried when 15 years old.
"None of these fellows who want to
arry a la-year-old girl are any
good," commented Judge Leslie.
Possibility of Tie-Up of Chicago
Slump In Quotations.
CHICAGO, June 28. Fear of strike
complications bowled into the wheat
market today at the same time as the
first big offerings from the 1921 har
vest. Wild tumbling of prices followed,
with the July delivery of wheat here
showing an extreme loss of 9 cents a
bushel, compared with yesterday's
finish. - Simultaneously cash values
for immediate delivery of wheat In
Kansas City were reported as having
dropped in some cases fully 22 cents.
Threatenlngs of a tie-up of all Chi
cago grain elevators on account of
wage troubles had become more
ominous overnight. They were given
greater significance because of re
ports that balloting on the part of the
railroad employes . throughout the
country indicated rejection of the
wage cut ordered for July 1. Mean
while heavy increased offerings of
new wheat in the southwest were
widely construed as indicating that
farmers were not going to hold their
wheat this season, but were pouring it
into elevators as soon as threshed.
Bearish views of the general busi
ness situation gained notice, more
over, whereas the British coal strike
settlement was apparently overlooked,
and adverse crop advices from the
northwest were disregarded alto
gether. Under such circumstances
buying orders dwindled to nearly
nothing and efforts to. sell became
more and more importunate until at
last the market was in a state bor
dering collapse.
Tonight opinions varied as to
whether liquidation had run its
course, and whether a rebound m
prices would ensue.

A decline of 40 cents c barrel in

WILD BALLOON CAPTURED
One Hundred Men Bring Deserter
From Pacific Fleet Down.
SANTA BARBARA, Cll.. June 28.
After razing fences and uprooting
trees and lifting an intrepid farm
worker from terra firma, balloon No.
10, which "deserted" the Pacific fleet
some time Sunday night, was captured
at Santa Maria today by 100 men who
grabbed the trailing cables and
brought it to earth. Balloon No. 1,
which was lost at the same time, was
a wreck on a farm near Lompoc.
Fear that loss of life had attended
the escape of balloon No. 10 was ere
ated by the fact that the case of life
preservers in the basket had been
broken open.
