THE COAL SETTLEMENT.

STIRRING APPEAL BY Mil LLOYD-GEORPE. THE MEN . RESUME WORK, MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME, LONDON, July 21. Mr Lloyd George, addressing the delegates at Cardiff, congratulated tde community - and the Empire or. the settlement. It was a horror to liini to have to take part- in a struggle with his best friends. He was not sure they had yet realised how tremendous was the . country’s struggle, the issues of which would affect us for untold generations. It was urgent that the miners should make up the lost time. France was depending on them for coal. France had done more for democracy, than any other land on. earth. -She was now begging them to send coal. He also wanted them to do it for the British Navy. “Fid their hunkers,” he said. ‘‘lt- means an inviolable Britain; it means a Britain which with your nelp can defy tin* most potent enemy in the world. [ am sick at heart at having to call attention to the gravity of the situation, which is sufficiently serious to call for the united action of every man and woman in the_ country. H we .work together we shall win a victory for European liberty such ns will resound throughout the world nor

a ges.' The South Wales delegates accepted the terms and the miners resume work today. ...
