COAL BALLOT

AN OBSCURE SITUATION PITS BEING REOPENED THOUSANDS OF MINERS RETURN TO WORK By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, June 19. The result of the coal ballot has created the most obscure situation since April. Despite the result, thousands of miners have returned to the pits, and the management’s generous treatment is heartening the men elsewhere to do likewise. The majority of the Midlothian a'ncl Derbyshire mines are undamaged. Tho pits are to be opened on Monday, and other groups are expected to follow. Meanwhile local union branches have been instructed to ensure that no men are to return to work until ordered by tho executive to return in a mass. Tho miners’ appeal to other disputing unions affects eleven organisations with a membership of nearly four million. The response is uncertain. Many unions are bankrupt and are incapable of paying out-of-work donations. The cotton workers, (engineers, .-woollen work®}*, and tram men, representing 2,500,000, have practically agreed to a settlement, and are not likely to respond to the appeal or £ive it consideration.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable SBsn.
