Just imagine nearly one-half of your weekly salary being taken from you by the government and then have the government say it's necessary because another country wants repayment of a war loan. Imagine also how anxious the average Britisher is to pay anything when out of the war has come French militarism and such a terrible blow at British commerce that 1,200.000 men are out of work and must accept the charity of a government which in fear of revolution is compelled to support its poverty-stricken people. When history comes to be written ten years hence, there will be serious doubts as to the value of the British debt settlement so far as improving the relations between the American and British peoples.

Announcement of the miners' decision was made by John Brophy president of district No. 2, United Mine Workers, in which the Somerset field is located. The operators were not represented ia the conference and their attitude has not been made known. The miners' convention in a resolution adopted declared that they "recognize the circumstances which make necessary the temporary abandonment of the fight against the operators for union recognition." The resolution further adds that "even though working on an "open shop basis" the miners "await the first opportunity of winning a contract and union recognition."
