BRITISH MINERS.
DANGER OF CRISIS. WAGES REDUCTION NEEDED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Feb. 27. The danger of a crisis appears to have increased. The coal-owners have decided to give the miners a fortnight’s notice immediately after March 31, when the industry will be decontrolled. A loss, estimated at £2,000,000 weekly, owing to the trade slump and the decline in coal exports, which the Government is now making good, will fall upon the coal industry It is stated that the owners express the opinion that a 20 to 25 per cent, reduction in wages is necessary in order to put the industry on a sound economic footing. They favor the continuation of State control at least until an agreement is reached between the owners and miners.
