Tho troublo Is tho outcomo of tbo

ing at tho tlmo undor an agroomont
which, undor prdlnary circumstances,
would not have oxplrod until March,
1910. By forcing alterations In
-working conditions tho oporators con
tend that tho new law nullifies this
Agreement, nnd on Juno 1 formallyl
notified tho minors' union that thoy
would terminate It at tho end of tho
month.
Koprosentatlvos of tho oporators

short days, to ton In tho long onos,
Undor tho now law, which bocomos

day. Tho oporators say that under
this systom tho mines can" bo moro
economically worked In doublo shift,
that Is, two sots of mon working two
soparato turns of olght hours each.
Tho miners object to tho doublo shift
on tho ground that It will loavo too
short an Interval to lnsuro safoty In
tho fiery scams of South Wales. Tho
oporators maintain that It will di
minish tho dangor.
A strlko will at first affect only
South Wales and Its 150,000 minors.
