LONDON. Mill‘. 17.—ln n hold effort to avert the threatened coal strike in Britain Premier iviacdon- uid has ilcoliled to stake the life of his government on the lliincrs‘ Minimum Wage Bill which is to be drafted iullnerlialely and introduc- ed in April as a government meas- ure. The decision reached Ill week end conferences Is probably the most important one made by the new cabinet so far as questions of policy are concerned. If llle bill fails it appears certain that ul- most 700.000 miners will strike April 17th when their present wage agreement with the owners expires. The minimum Wage measure which Macdonalil has de- cided to support gives the miners the 1924 standard wage scale plus an ‘increase oi’ 70 percent to com- pensate for the increase ill the cost of living during the last ten years. There has been a strong feeling among prudent advisers that the government should leave the min- ers‘ legislation to private members but the Premier has seen fit to adopt aggressive tactics In his de- termination to stave off a strike. “Up guards and at them," is the

cials of the miners Premier's attitude. liiucdonald believes that he can

The miners wage; are ut present regulated, by u profit sharing agreement entered into uftcr the walkout of 1921. The miners claim that under this arrangement they have received lower wages than in any previous period if the cost of living ls taken into consid- eratlon.

Employers say that the difficulty .a.ri»ses fronl the fact that the profit sharing agreement has unfortun- ately been operating through a per- iod of bad times and declare that they cannot give the men any sub- stantial advances.

Let mo. attempt to suggest n Iittlc of its practical meaning.

Here is a little girl standing on the curbstone down town on Broad- way In New York. with a bundle In her arms. She has been scnt on an errand, and wants to get across the street. But the electric cars arc whining past In both directions, and wagons, and carriages, and umnlbuses, and horses jam the street irolu curb to curb. and she cannot get across. She stands there gripping her _ bundle, watching eagerly for a chance. and yet afraid to venture. But the jam seems endless, and elle grows very tired. and by and by the corners of her mouth begin to twitch down suspiciously. and a big tear Is just starting in each eye. Just then- a big policeman steps up. one of the finest, sIX feet tall, and heavy and broad. He seems like a giant to her. He. stoops down. Would you imagine he had such a gentle voice? "What's the. matter!" "Can't get-Joroas." 0h! is that all; he'll ii: that. And he takes her little hlhll in his with a reassuring "come aioogl‘, ‘And along she goes, past cars. under horses‘ heads,
