BRITISH COAL CRISIS.
' BEN ADVISED FOR PEACE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 8, 8 p.m. London, Oct. 7. It is understood that various discussions of the triple alliance made it clear that the miners must pursue a reasonable attitude of give and take. The miners could- not ask large bodies of workmen to strike when there was a difference on two sideß of only a shilling a day. Although the executives of many leading coal districts have declared against the owners' terms, the Government does not attach any importance to this, believing that though hotheads ca,ptured the machine vote, the average miner will cast his vote for peace. Mr. R, SmiUie (the miners' leader) has issued a strong appeal declaring that it would be in the best interests of the miners to accept the proposals as a temporary measure, utilising tlie next three months to secure a satisfactory agreement. He also says this would give an opportunity to prove that the declining output was mainly due to the I owners, rather than to the miners.— I Aus.-N.Z. Cafble Assn. i
