INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
COLLIERS' WAGES. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 9, 12.30 a.m. » London, May 8. St. Aldwyn's casting vote on the South Board decided that colliery laborers should be paid 4s 2d to 4s 9d daily, representing an advance of threepence. The men are so dissatisfied at not securing 5s that they have suspended negotiations and called a conference of the Wales Miners' Federation for Saturday. St. Aldwyn's vote implies that the Conciliation Board agreement continues to control the South Wales coal trade. A circular to members of the Northumberland Miners' Association states that during two and a quarters years the expenditure has been 4 £150,000 above the income. It is impossible to continue to pay the present benefit rates.
