LABOR AT HOME.
MINERS' STRIKE UNLIKELY, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—CcpyrleM. London, March 31. Mr. Frank Hodges, M.l'., secretary of the Miners' Federation, advises the miners to accept the Government offer. There is a general feeling that there is little likelihood that the Miners' Federation will give the two-thirds majority necessary for a strike. It is expected that South Wales and Scotland will favor a strike, but the Midlands strongly oppose it. The Dockers' Court of Inquiry recommends a minimum of 16s per day for all workers- It also recommends that a central fund be established to enable the industry to make provision for unemployment. The award thus concedes the workers' demands. The Industrial Council failed to solve the tram and bus dispute, the men rejecting the offer of 4s weekly increase. The Ministry of Labor has now intervened. i The tramwaymen'a leaders have accepted the employers' now offer of 6s 6d a week increase.
