LABOR TROUBLES IN ENGLAND.
UNIONISTS BLAME THEIR EXECUTIVE. United Press Association —Copyright (Received March 8, 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 8. The coal exports for South Wales, as compared with February, 1909, decreased by 260,827 tons, foreign firms securing contracts at the expense of the Welsh i trade. The ballot of Northumberland miners decided by a largo majority against confirming the executive’s suggestion for ending the dispute. This practical. ly amounts to a censure, on the executive for stopping strike pay and ordering the strikers at fourteen collieries to resume. (Received March 9, 12.20 a.m.) Bishop Llandaff urges the disputants in South Wales to come to an agreement, and points out that thousands of railway-men, dockers, tin plate, nnd iron and steel workers, and shopkeepers are. dependent on the coal trade, and there is a likelihood of the trade being diverted to' other channels. He counsels the miners to trust old and experienced leaders. A national conference to consider the position in South Wales opens ° n Wednesday.
