An eighth man died later from a fractured skull, and two others are re- ported to be in a serious condition. The. room was a new one, built. by Messrs. Jam-es Wrigley and Son, paper- makers, Bridge Hall Mills, Bury, Lan- cashire. No reason for the, falling of the roof can bo given at present.

COAL TRADE PEACE. ANTHRACITE DISTRICT AND COURSE OF EVENTS, NO NEED FOR ALARM. (By Our Mining Corresporident.) Tners has been more. anxiety in trading circles than among miners as to the ■courso which events may take in conso- qnonce of the decision of the South Wales miners' delegates to give notice on 1st, to terminate the Concilia tion Board agreement.. The anxiety is quite •natural, for many people imagine that the termination of the existing agree- ment means a strike, and the uncertainty as to the position is much worse for the peace of mind of tho community than the reality is likely to b. For that, reason it would be well for the miners and their leaders, who have proved themselves 10 be patriots as well 11-5 keen controvi v- sialists and able bargainers," to make the issue clear. The oountry is passing through a crisis which entities it to a definite cessation of liostilitiee between capital and Uabour as weell as between political parties. For that reason, it W3, until quite recently, generally understood that a truce was to prevail in South Wales up^n the. wage question in so far as the actual terms of | the Conciliation HoaTd agreement w«\ concerned. The awakening to the con- trary cams when the Miners' Federa- tion of Great. Britain, through its central council, called upon the various dis- tricts to give notices, so as to tyke com- mon action for revibin of agreement* and a demand for an increased wage. 1 need not enter into those demands here, for they were given in a previous article. The point, now is that there seems to hi 'I a difference of opinion among the South' Wales leaders as ro w hether those de-II mands are to be enforced immediately or only be put lorward as a "sta.telllen.CI uf claim iad discussed lai-er on. Ii Cautious Leaders. II Some of the leaders have spoken, and th j responsible men among them, who ?, ti(,i-a, w lir) not only realise the position, but are anxious to satisfy the public aud the workers that nothing rash will be done, have declared that nothing is likely to happen to interfere with -the industrial peace of South Wales. But others have been chary of comiuiHing themselves— possibly because they do not with to dis- count the mora! effect of the fiat of the Central Federation, and they will probably not declare themselves until after the, general conference of tho Federation, at which all sections of tho coalfields of the "in i lpd Kingdom that are affiliated to tbe Federation will be represented by delegates. That confer- ence will deal with the question of the whole of the agreements and the a chon I to be taken by the whole, body. In the meantime it is will to point out that the main object of the Federa- tion for many years, has lieall to j bring aU the cons-fit rent divitioas into lin? for united action by ?t-tiu? their Conciliation Board agreements to bej coterminous. They b?Yf hdther?o t?H(\i because th(OjY were agreements made at different dates and f; for varying '1 p.} o ,\t.- t periods. That has, by care and pressure. been brought nearer to realisation by this year, a.nd it is merely an. incident in the Federation's plan of campaign that the realisation of its hopes comes in the year 1 when a. European war is being carried on. A nd even now, there is one district! whir-h cannot give notice for a further j three mnnth. It i, not a Welsh district, but. an English one, so the old complaintj of former days that South Wa]r> was! made the cockpit of industrial fights for the benefit of others does not apply. Still, the fact that that district- cannot evenj give nofiee to terminate its agreement, at prt-sent makes any drastic action, such as a general strike, impossible, and the pfriofl wiU ap?p'"arHy be spent in nego- HaHon?'—obvioTiKiT for a. satisfa<<ory p<v»ce, for nobody want? an actual fight.. P^af"? for I" b rending the General Conference, to whi^h I have alludrd. perhaps it is as well; not to enter info a newspaper discussion of the nros and cons of the drmands piti forward. The Strongest Section. Whatever the view of the Central | Executive of the M-F.G.B- may h": as to its dominating power to fit: in judgment upon agreements that, may be made in any and every district.| it must D?t be fc'r?ottf? that this i? n? fl]c 6rst <imp for such a ??im to be' made. Sometimes t.be discussions upon; South Wales agreements have lwpo aeri-i njonious. but the?- always ended in} smoking the calumet c peace." Therol was. and there is. a very good reason fori Mtying that South Wales will never bej Hictated to by t he general Vo-Jr. Che j South Wales district is. numerically, the; strongest section in the whole of thej Federation, and its leaders can bl"\lrl! their own with ease in any debate that! may ta."kl? place. "What is of special interest to Swansea and the surrounding industrial districts; is the fact that the position of thej minere of the anthracite district has now; t?c?m? EiTng enough to b? r??ard?d a? an important factor in the deliberations of conferences as vpH a.? (q? o?iu?il?. It is now Hi? second larK?t d?tnct in t.h? Smtb Wale& Min?r"' Fpd?Tati?n. and its attib)d?. a-cd that of the v.??.tprn di?- trict (of which Swansea is the centre also') is watohed with interest by all who nOT the power which leaders and men capable of forming a calm considQred judgment can bring to bear upon a situa- tion which, from an industrial ponit- ofi view, haet become complicated by the War. i but a situation through which there i3: every reason to believrs, peaceful nego+ia-; tions. a.nd plenty of time, will bring Thn I coal industry without » national strilwj or a general stoppage^. >
