SOUTH WALES COAL MINERS.
BOARD'S DECISION NOT ACCEPTED. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright London, May 8. Lord St. Aldwyn's decision created a scene. The miners' representatives declined to accept, it, whereupon Lord St. Aldywn threatened to resign. The miners' representatives retorted that his resignation would bo accepted. It is understood that Lord St. Aldwyn's intimation, that tho owners were offering insufficient led to an advance of twopence. Mr. V. Hartshorn, one of the miners' leaders, states that no one will receive any advance by Lord St. Aldwyn's decision. If the board had been formed to intensify the bitterness, it could not have been, more successful. ■ \ The South Wales coal miners voted for a strike in January in tho ratio of more than five to 1 one; they declared for'the resumption of work by a. majority of almost exactly two to one. Lord Si. Aldwyn was chairman of the Conciliation Board, and when the Minimum Wags Act camo into operation he was chosen as the independent chairman of the District Board.
