March a -Premier Asquith la the House of Commons this afternoon refused to accept tha miners' amend' raent to tha minimum wage bill providing a minimum of fl.S and cents aa the dally wage for men and boys, respectively. Enoch Edwards, labor member of Par liament and president of the Miners Federation of Great Britain, at once an nounced that th premier's rejection of the miner's amendment closed the door to aa Immediate settlement ot the atrike. Arthur i. Balfour's motion for ths re jection of tbe minimum wag bill waa de feated and the government measure passed Ita second reading In the House of Commons last night by a majority at 13-a larger majority than the minister ialists themselves had hoped tor. The vols stood MS to 73. Th laborltes aad na tionalists voted with the government. Tha bill still has te run the gamut of th committee stage. It was her that the miners' representatives In Parliament en deavored to procure the acceptance ot amendments fixing . minimum rates ef wages. , i , The bouse bad Just entered on tbe com mittee stag of the minimum wage bill whea the miners' amendment was moved and Premier Asqulta's pronouncement , th gravity ot which wsa Immediately recognised, because it Is practically cer tain to bring about another dead look, caused a sensation among the member. In opposing th miners' amendment the premier said that he waa Inclined to think th figures reasonable ones, but that it waa most undesirab'.s to Insert la th bill any pacific ulnlmum wag cr to establish the precedent of fixing the rate of wages by act ot Parliament It would, he pointed out. be peculiarly dangerous to the men themselves, because if Farlia. ment once expressed It Judgment that ILS waa a fair minimum wag that sunt L would be bousd to be trsated ss tht msTtmum. - , v " ( r ' e Enoch Edwards, th miner' leader, de clared th decision announced by th p re mi sr bad chattered hi hope that th final form ot tba blU would oommend Itself to tbe good sens of bath side.

Despite the decisions ef the unions there already Is, particularly In Scot. land, a steady trickling of tbe miners hack to the pita. Even with a general resumption, however, the mines will not be In working order again before Easter, aad soma ot th smaller one which have been flooded will never be reopened. In the meantime starvation faces the Industricl populstlon ef the country. The funds ot the trades unions are running low and In some places this week's pay met of out-of-work benefit will to th last. At B'jraiem, in Staffordshire, one of tbe centers of tbe potteries district. .M meals have been served by the vicar of tbe parish in the last eleven daya, for which a small charge his been made. Now the people of the district are unable to bear the burden of paying even a penny for tba meal, and are compelled te fall back on charity. , , In Wales and Scotland and In tbe In dustrial districts of England, relict work has been started and soup kitchens es tablished. There la scarcely a mining village In Scotland where the children are not being fed by the publio author!. ties. The werk of relieving the dletrea Is getting beyond the means of the local charities and demands are being mad oa the government to take It tip. It is estimated the Aimers thus far have lost in wages besides the depletion of tbe union funds. Leases ta Waves Ksorassa Factories and woefc of all kinds all over the country continue to close down and all the railroads are reducing their services to the minimum.

CLEVELAND, ' O'., March xt-Two com prom laa offers by the operators ware voted down by the miners today. These offers ware:. ' That the present wags aad working scale be continued for two years after its expiration on April L . That there be no suspension of tha mines on any account. Tbe miners had asked for a 1 per cent Increase In pay and a shortening ot working hours. As against this tba operators bad asked that th wage seals be cut W par cent. Tbe offer of tba operators to continue the present wage scale was la the nature of a compromlae. Indications . that the operators and miners del states would at' come to aa immediate settlement were ihown la tha afternoon, when - a subcommittee, com posed of eight mtnera and eight operators, began considering a compromise which, they ware to report back to th full con ference. - . The full conference, composed ot sixty four members, for two days had heard tha demands of the miners for a 1 per cent Increase and a reduction ot a day a working hour from eight to seven, with five hours sn Saturday, and bad failed te agree. In whole dispute then had been referred to the subcommittee. .White Preeeate Demaade. Whea ths subcommittee met the min ora renewed their 'demands. John P.

They are not on a par with other labor, and we will not continue to work, after AprU 1 with cur present pay and wag working bours, if our demands are am we will ge right en without a suspen sion. If they are denied or modified we will suspend." Th eight operators replied that the ds Biacd tl together would cause a is per cent tnoreaas la th pay roll, and that this Increase was not . warranted by tha preaeat earning power ot the mines. This aosHloa was taken emphatically' by E. A. Cola, repreeentlug the Onto operators. and H. M. Taylor! representing the Illi nois operators. They then argued that tbe present pay aboald be reduced If per cent. Th result waa that some sug gested that a continuation ot the' present seal with no shutdown f the mines would be a compromise. , A vote showed th miners were unani mous In their rejection at the comprenuse. The subcommittee then adjourned to report back to the full conference at 1 clock tonight.
