COAL STRIKE ENDS BY GIVING SHARE IN INDUSTRY'S PROFITS Eighty-Eight Days' Stoppage of Mining Resulted in Grad- ual Crippling of Manufacturing Plants of the United Kingdom Government Subsidy of 10,000.000. A despatch from London says: Bri- tain's great coal strike, one of the most protracted and costly to the na- tion la modern times, was settled on Tuesday at a conference of the Gov- ernment, the mine ownere and tha miners. Unless there Is some hHch It Is expected that a number of mines will begin operations' on Monday. But It will be many weeks before enough coal will be available for some of tho big industrial plant* to get under way, or before the railroads can resume anything like their normal service, Broadly speaking, the miners have given up their demand for a national pool and nationalization. The mine owners, on the other hand, forego their determination to cut wages In the drastic manner which originally brought about the strike, and which, In some cases, amounted to 45 per cent, reductions. The Government Is ex- pected to grant $50,000,000 subsidy . After allowing for stand clearages on the Industry the 83 per cent, re- maining proceeds shall go to the min- ers as a first charge and 17 per cent, to the owners, For the first time there hoe been definitely established the principle of a share for the workers in the profits of the industry. It la also the Hrst occa.sion on which profits-sharing lifts been establihhed on a national scale. The miners hare agreed to accept a cut of two Khilllngs per shift In July, two shilling six pene In August and two sb'llings In September, The new permanent agreement will run from OtolJC", 1021, to December 31, 1922. It Is impossible to estimate the dam- age to British industrial life during the 88 days of the strike, but it has been colossal; "and iti ramifications have been felt in every walk of life. Although the recovery of industry may be protracted, the announcement cf the settlement has had an Immediate psychological effect on the country at large. Canada from Coast to Coast DeVALERA CANNOT GO TO LONDON Acceptance of Invitation to : Conference is Impossible, He Says. A <!espat:h from Dublin saya: The proposal of Mr. Lloyd George for conference in London on the Irish question betwesn representatives of Sou '.-hern ar.i Northern Ireland and the British Government is impossible of acceptance in its present form. This declaration is made by Eamonn <fre Valcra, the Irish Repu-blican leader, to Sir James Cra'ig, the Ulster Pre- mier, in reply to Sir James' notifica- tion that be caMiot meet Mr. de Vafe'a in a preliminary conference in DuibHn. Mr. ua Valera's letter is quoted by, The Irish Euilelin, organ of the Dail Eireann, as follows: ''I greatly revjret that you cannot come to a ccaier-wree in Dublin Mon- day. Mr. Lloyd George's proposal, be- cause of it-3 implications, is impossible of acceptance in its present form. Our poXtioal differences ought to be ad- justed, and can, I believe, be adjusted i: Irish soil. But it is obvious that in the negotiation of peace with Great Britain the Irih delegat'on ought not to be divided, bnt should act as a unit on some common principle." All four Sooithern Unionists, Earl Miidleton, Sir Maurice Dockrell, Sir Robert H. Woods and Andrew Jame- BCTI, have accepted Mr. de Valera's in- vitation for a ecnfcTeflw at the Man- sion House, Dnllin, Monday, which will presumaMy form a prelude to a further reply by de Yakrn to the British Prime Minister.

There was no note of defiance in the solemn proceedings, i The address of the King breathed no spirit of bitterness or anger.

Weekly SJarket Report A despatch from London says: Sir Ernest Shackleton, who commanded tho British Antarctic expedition in 1907-09 which reached within 97 miles of the South Pole aad also the Antarctic expedition in 1914-16, will be r the leader on a new voyage of dis- covery, covering 30,000 miles of un- charted sections of the Southern At- lantic, the Pacific and Antarctic Seas, j He will sail from the port of London at the end of August in a 200-ton ship, ; brigantlne rigged, named "The Quest." ; He will have with him a small picked staff, including six compaoilons of . former 1'ula r expeditions. The expedition, which will be called the Shackleton-Kowett Oceanographi- cal and Antarctic Expedition, will be financed by John Queller Kowett, of Agriculture Research, and Frederick Becker, a well-known paper manufac- turer. "The Quest" will be equipped for every branch of scientific research. She will carry a complete hydrograph- ic survey and soundings, ajid will touch at various little-known islands, where the flora and fauna and geo- graphical structure will be studied and photographed. A specially con- structed seaplane wil be taken, and air currents will be charted. Take two tin cans, attach them to the opposite ends of a piece of wood, and run a D or A violin string from one can- to the other. The cans will supply the resonance that, is furnished usually by the body of the violin. Of course, the range will not be as great as when four strings are used, but if you use either of the medium-toned strings, you will be able li> play almost any tune.
