TRADES UNION CONGRESS OF
, BRITAIN ACCEPTS BASIS FOR
$ FURTHER WAGE NEGOTIATIONS
LONDON, May 12. (AP)—Sir Herbert Samuel, as chairman of the
royal commission which made the report on the British coal industry
about which the conflict centered, was the natural go-between in the
settlement of the general strike.
. His memorandum, which the general council of the trades union
congress accepted as a basis for calling off the general strike and re-
aume negotiations on the coal controversy, contains the following
1. The coal subsidy to be renewed for such reasonable time as
may be required.
..2. Creation of a national wages board, including representatives
of the miners, mine owners and neutrals, with an independent chair-
man to revise the miners’ wages.
8. It is understood there shall be no revision of the previous
wages without sufficient assurances that reorganisation of the coal in-
dustry as proposed by the royal commission shall be executed.
4. A committee to be named by the government with representa-
tion for the miners which shsll prepare legislative and executive meas-
ures necessary to offset reconstruction of the coal industry.
The memorandum suggests that the revised wage scales be on
. simpler Inies, if possible, than the old ones, and that they shall not ad-
versely affect the wages of the lowest paid men.
a It also suggests measures to prevent the recruitment of new work-
over 18 years of ago into the industry if unemployed miners are
Bailable and provides that workers displaced by the closing of un-
economic collieries shall be transferred with government assistance as
recommended by the royal commission.
It is estimated that 250,000 men will be displaced In the mining in-
dustry by execution of plans for complete reorganisation of industry,

gress, which initiated the movement
in sympathy with the striking min-
ora, visited Premier Baldwin and
his cabinet ministers at No. 10
Downlag street at noon and an-
nounced that the strike was over. *
This action was taken, Chairman
Arthur Pugh said. In order to en-

for settlement of the miners’ griev-

councils. However, it is expected
the T. 11 C. instructions will have
quick effect and that the wheels
of industry will begin to turn
again almost immediately.
Almost: as soon as the decision
was made known to the cabinet it

lic, who had been informed earlier
that strong peace rumors were in
the air.

portant changes In the Haugen farm
relief bill, including reduction of

One of, ths amendments decided
upon was immediate imposition of
an equalization fee on sales of basis

the surplus problem. Aa drawn the
bill would have deferred this fee for
two years.
In announcing the changes, Chalr-
man Haugen of the agriculture
committee, author of the bill, ex-
plained that he would offer the
amendments tomorrow, in an effort
to reach a compromise with oppon-
onto of the legislation.
One of the principal attacks on

NMr, Haugen said the bill in Ita

Another amendment to ba offered*

that the maximum amount to be

LONDON, May 12. (AP)—An “Investigate every foot of real es-

over the North Pole she dropped
the American, Norwegian and

NEW YORK, May It. ()— The
airship Norge, second aircraft in
history to fly over the North Pole,
was on ita way to a landing field,
at Nome, Alaska, today, the 45th
anniversary of Lincoln Ellsworth,
New York, one of the expedition's
leaders.$
The great balloon duplicated
within three days the feat of the
three-engined airplane "Miss Jose-
phine Ford,” commanded by Lleu:
tenant Commander Richard E. Byrd,
with the difference that Com-
mander Byrd returned to King's
Bay, Spitsbergen, in a 1,600-mile
non-stop flight, while the Norge
continuedia 2,750-mile journey to-
ward Nome.
Roald Amundsen, commander of
the third expedition 'to reach the
North Pole, and the first human ■
being to reach the South Pole,
radioed yesterday to Ralph Lomen,
Norwegian consul at Nome to have
100 men ready to lower the dirigi-
ble. He said he'would keep Mr.
Lemon advised of progress by radio
and the consul bad four anchors,
known aa "dead men" placed to
readiness to hold the chip down.
The Norge left Spitsbergen at
Id a. m. Norwegian time, or 4 a. m.
eastern standard time. Tuesday and
sailed over the pole with 17 mem-
barn of its crew at 1 a. m. today,
Norwegian time, or 7 o’clock last
sight, eastern standard time.
News Comes by Radio.
The news reached the New York
Times and St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat by radio in the first message
ever received from the North Pole.
Commander Byrd saw the Norge
off, bat remained at King’s Bay to
prepare in the words of Lieutenant
Alton N. Parker of his party, to
Twenty-five men have now seen
the North Pole—six in the Peary
expedition. Commander Byrd and
his pilot, Floyd Bennett, and 17 oa
the Norge. The Norgo reached the
pole in 15 hours from King’s Bay,
Commander Byrd required 15 hours'
and 30 minutes to go to the polo
and back to King’s Bay in his air-
plena and Peary, using dog sleds,
took eight months for the trip 10
the pole and back to civilization.
The Norge traveled at approxi-
mately 60 miles an hour cad II wee
estimated that if she kept this pace
she would reach Point Bkrrow, rn
route to Nome, at 10 p. m. tonight
eastern standard time.
Viijalmar Steffanson, Canadian
explorer, now living in New York,
expressed delight today that Byrd
and Ellsworth and Amundsen were
realizing a prophecy of his made
three years ago, that airships and
dirigibles flying over the top of the
world would open the shortest end
most practical routes between the
eastern and western hemispheres.
Ship Loses 11 Heurs.
The ship lost 11 hours .by the
mere act of passing over the pole.
That la. on approaching the pole
it “ was 1 a. m. today, Norwegian
time, aboardship f and a moment
later it was 2 p. m. yesterday.
The 2,750-mile route was in the
land of the midnight sun, making
It a daylight trip throughout.
After passing the pole, the Norge,
which started with enough fuel for
3,000 miles, headed for an unex-
plored area estimated at 1,000,000
square miles, one-third as large as
Continental United States and the
last unvisited by men. Explorers
of the past believe they have found
evidences of land in this’area.
This last geographical mystery of
the globe stretches from North
Alaska to the pole. It is practical-
ly the last lure left to explorers—r
to determine whether le in it any-
thing but ice-guaried rock and
barren waste such as fringe the

BERLIN, May 11. (n—At the sad
or his first year in office President
Von Hindenburg, who has sought
unity of the German people, found
himself the center of a situation
which resulted In the fall of the
Luther ministry.
The trouble concerns a govern-
ment decree calling for the Joint
hoisting on German embassies and
consulates abroad of both the new
federal banner and the merchant
flag of the old monarchist colors.
- Aside from the political strife
over the flag situation the police
are said to have discovered plans
by organizations of the” extreme
right for, a political coup. It to
asserted that ths police in seareh-
Ing homes of the leaders of the al-
leged plot seised the details for a
concentrated attack on Berlin and
other evidence described as “start-
ling proofs" of a conspiracy for a
political uprising. >
Bitterness over the demand of the
Socialists for .the retention of the
Republican colors alone and by the
parties of the right for the restora-
tion ofthe monarchial flag haa
reached such a pitch in the releh-
stag that it seemed likely today
that- ther continuance in office of
Chancellor Lather would be impos-
sibles The Democrats in a resolution
have declared that further coopera-
tion With him is impossible.
New National Flag
President Von Hindenburg during
the controversy suggested a new
national banner to which the color
schemes of the old and new flags
would be retained. ' Yesterday the
cabinet aa a concession th the op-
position decided to suspend the put-
ting of the two-flag ordinance into
’force until August t. when it waa
hoped a new national flag would
have been adopted. This conees-
son failed to appease the Demo-
crats Lator Luther said the de-
cree would remain in force. 1
Heretofore President Von Hin-
denburg had been outside party
conflict, serving aa a symbol at
unity to whom both the right and
left parties looked up with admira-
tion.
The cabinet, accordingly, has been
much criticized for conjuring up a
situation into which he haa been
dragged. 1
Von Hindenburg, now 19 years
old, not only haa made the German
white house a greater Seefaliat
center than it was under the Ebert
administration, but has mods tours
into the remotest parts of the
relich in a manner which a younger
head of the nation could not have
improved upon.
Except East Prussia, separated
from the rest of the country by the
Polish corridor, during hinsiret
year in office he has visited every
section of Germany. People turn-
ed out in thousands te greet him. ■
