BRITISH COAL CRISIS.
COMPROMISE PROBABLE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Augus-t 28. It is generally believed that the coal strike will not come off, but that mediation will result in ftie resumption of negotiations between, the (Jovernment and tho minors' leaders. A compromise may be arranged 011 the basis of increased wages for an increased outpuc of coal. Though the mines are employing 100,000 more workers than before the war the annual output is 58,000,000 tons less. High wages combined with the reduced output are making coal dear. It is reported at Blyth iliat the miners' leaders are considering a proposal to call oft' the projected strike and restrict a week's work to four days until the accumulated stocks of the country are exhausted. It is estimated that over 100,000 pit boys voted in the miners' ballot.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
