A despatch 'from London says: -A
'conference between reproseetatives of
the mine owners and of the Miner'
Federation was :held in London on
'Thursday night at which en attempt
was made to. get a 'clearer under-
standing as to the questions that di-
vide them. It cannot e said that any
elefinite advance was inade, The new
•offer of the .Owners was declared not
to be sufficiently clear to .eneble the
federation to place it befere the dis-
tricts,

Miners' Fodeention met on Thiraiday.

tion to the full delegates' meeting,
'This is generally interpreted as mean-
ing that there is little hope of the
'miners accepting any 'compromise that
the employers are likely to area
The leaders have been spending the
past few clays in the country among
tlie miners themselves, and it is evi-
'dent that they have not found any
-marked change of attitude. The men
are still demanding. a national pool
and national itegulation of wages, and
discussions .about various other meth -
Ode of correcting inequalities of earn-
ings have had no effect en the miners'
position.
There can be no doubt that the
istilere of the railroad and transport
-workers to eome to their aid has had
.a good deal to do with the hardening
of feeling found in mining baeaNties.
Meanwhile, each day numbers of in-
dustries are feeling the blight as the
-coal shortage grows.
German coal was on offer on Thurs-
-day at the Swansea dock for half the
price of the best Welsh coal, but a
movement developed aiming the trans -
Pert; workers to refuse to handle Am-
erican, Belgian or German coal ship -
In many districts -there is no coal
left for domestic eonsumption, and no
-caul is being delivered to any house
where a gas cooker is installed, In
some districts only 28 poundof mai

Distress in the mining anew is be-
coming mute. JIuruh'eds cf miner
and their wives in the Durham .district
are waiting daily for the relief grant-
ed by the local municipal authorities
neCeseitous eases. Queues of ere
married miners at Caerphilly, near
Cardiff, who sought parish relief, were
refused. Funds have been started in
many towns to save miners' children
from hardehip.
Preliminary su.ggeetions for relief
of distress sent by a special commit-
tee of the Board of Trade to large
towns inchude utilization of national
kitchen's and canteens with feeding
centres for .school 'children. It is also
suggested that families should com-
bine in the wolfing of their mewl.
In many instances the .strike pay
of miners is exhausted., and to provide
for barest necessities of life loans
and paper credit are being increasing-
ly resorted to. -
Great distress is reported from
South Wales, where women are pawn-
ing wedding rings for food. In some
houses the bed is the only piece of
furniture left. Ln same districts
many thousands of children. would
starve if they were not fed in the
schools.
SEEDING IN WEST
WELL ADVANCED
Weather Reported Generally
Fair and Progress Rapid.
A despatch from Winnipeg says: -
During the past week weather ever
the whole of the three Western Pro-
vinces has been generally fine, clear
Skies and hightemperatures ruling
through the day, During the latter
part of the period very little frost has
been experienced, and farmers in the
districts where .seeding has eonneenc-
ed have encountered little delay.
Reports of farmers busy on the
land have become increasingly more
numerous from all three provinces,
and already quite a large acreage of
wheat is reported seeded.
It is in Southern Alberta where the
most progress has been made. Reports
front Grande Prairies, in the Peace
River .country,. are also to the effect
that work is preceeding rapidly, and
the first report of oat seeding comes
from this point, •
No reports of decreased acreage
have come from any part of the West,
but smveral in Alberta expect an in
-
.crease on account of the excellent
atete ela the soil and lowered costs of
production.

Barmen, in Westphalia.
HARDING REFUSES -
TO 'FIX INDEMNITY
German Mediation Appeal
Turned Down by United
States.
A despatch from - Washington
says: -The United Slates Government
refused on Thursday an urgent re-
quest Id the Germain Government that
President Harding mediate the guess
tion of reparations between Germany
and the allies and fix the sum Geo -
many 18 to pay.
The United States agreed, however,
that if the German Government would
formulate promptly such proposals
regarding reparations "as would pre-
sent a peeper basis :for discussion," it
would "consider bringing the matter
to the attention of the allied Govern-
menb in a manner acceptable to them,
in order land negotiations .may be re-
eumed speedily."
Germany's appeal, signed by Chan,
cellar Fehrenbach and Foreign Min-
ister Simons, was directed to Presi-
dent Harding, and was transmitted
tine:ugh United States Coramisaioner
Drexel at Berlin. It was answered
by Secretary Hughes after a confer-

CANADA TAKES
AN ADVANCE STEP
In Instituting System of Pre-
ventive Medical Examination
for Immigrants.
A despatch from London says: -
Canada has taken, a step. M advance of
other .ecerntties by the institution of a
system. of preventive medical exam-
ination of immigrants at .continental
ports. Dr. Jeffs, of the Dominion De-
partment of Public Health, has ar-
nived here mid is working in tonjune-
don- with the Immigration Depart-
ment at Havre, Rotterdam, Antwerp
and other European ports from which
new citizens sail for the Dotruinian.
Prospective immigrants We looked
over and the steamship companies are
advised if they are unlikely to pass
the examination at 'the port of arrival
in Canada. The Dominion has no
legal right of rejection of immigrants
M any European port, but if the
steamship companies disregard the
Department official's advice, they are
liable to a fine in ease 'an unfit immi-
grant has to be refused entay, in ad-
dition to having to provide tranapor-
batten back to the port of embarka-
tion. In instituting this new system,
the Dominion Government is in ad-
vance of the United States, the only
action taken by that country along
th,is line being the establishing �f de-
lousing stations at European ports for
immigrants embarking for the Republic.

the chief drawbacks of commercia1.
aviation is that at present only short
journeys are attempted, such as that
between London and Parts, where a
saving of only three or four hours is
possible. Air transport's greatest op-
portunity, he believes, will be in
