MINERS' CRISIS.
THE SOLUTION OBSCURE. SOME MINERS AGAINST STRIKE. %1 Telegraph.—Press Amn.—Copyrlgnt. Received Sept. 13, 7.45 p.m. London, Sept. 13, The coal situation is still obscure. The miners' leaders have adopted an obstinate pol ; cy of drift, hoping that the Government wili make a new offer. Though the miners are loyally handing in notices to cease work, in doing so they manifest ill-will in many districts, particularly in Yorkshire, where there is some ground for the belief that many pits may refuse to down tools when the strike day oomes, despite the recent ballot. If the Yorkshiremen give a lead, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshore are likely to follow. Though the miners as a whole have strike pay estimated to last three weeks, many districts have very depleted funds. For instance, 155,000 Yorkshiremen have only £IBB,OOO, much of which is invested in mortgages, which will be difficult to realise quickly, and investments will be seriously depreciated if forced sales are made.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Afisn.
