Renew English Coal Strike Revives London Crisis
London May 11 The newly enacted minimum wage for miners has broken down and Britain faces a coal trade crisis. Indications point to a stampede toward repudiation of the act or a split in the miners federation. South Wales remains the storm center as colliery laborers oppose Lord St Aldwin's wage board decision under five shillings a day. A Cardiff conference of the South Wales Miners federation decided not to participate further in the district wages board until the situation is reviewed. A national conference is called for London next week with CG. BR. Stanton as socialist leader again heading the revolt and threatening to mobilize all transport workers.
