MINERS’ STRIKE?
SITUATION OBSCURE. THOUSANDS RESUME. MANY ■UNIONS BANKRUPT. V By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, June 19. The result of the coal ballot has created the most obscure situation since April. Despite the result thousands of miners have returned to the pits and their generous treatment by the management ft heartening men elsewhere to do likewise. The majority of the Midlothian and Derbyshire pits which are not damaged are opening on Monday and other groups are expected to follow. Meanwhile tfle branches, of loyal unions have been instructed to ensure that no men return to work until ordered by the executive to return en masse. The miners’ appeal to other unions interested in the dispute affects eleven organisations with a membership i* nearly four millions. The response is uncertain. Many of the unions are bankrupt and incapable of paying out donations. The cotton operatives, engineers, woollen workers and tramwaymen, representing 2,500,009, have practically agreed to the settlement and are unlikely to respond to the appeal.
