LONDON, March s.-The royal assent

Merles of Warwickshire and ths miners
ef Lanarkshire are returning ID Inereaa
Ing numbers, making a stipulation that
their wages shall be paid tomorrow, as
they and their families are stsnrlng.
Balloting began today in all the dis
tricts of . the United Kingdom on the
question whether ths 1.WO.000 miners now
on strike should return to work pending
the derision of the district boards, to be
appointed under the government's mini
mum wsce act on the rates of wsges In
ths various centers. In some cases ths
result of the balloting will be known this
week. As a matter ef fact the colliers
connected with the Brynklnalle mile at
Chirk, Wales, already have voted on the
question and the proportion of five to two
of the men Is In favor or resuming.
These men. however, are an axeepUan
to the general rule, as throughout the
striks they have strongly supported the
owners of the pit. .
The full returns ef the bsllstlng will
not be officially announced until April
I, and It probably will be after Easter
before all the miners return to work.
From now on. however, It la expected
that greater numbers will resume each
day.
The total cost of the striks to the
miners' unions to dsts has been s2U.26
and the balance left In the union treas
uries now amounts to only K7W.W0, most
of which Is Invested In securities which
will not bring In their full value under
forced sale
Besides the total spent by the miners'
union, the organisations connected with
other trades have distributed nearly
tt.im.aM in out-of-work benefits to their
members.
It will be months before the industries
and trades of the United Kingdom re
sume their normal proportions, and as
the men go back to their work they will
have what are for them Immense losses
to mske up.
The admiralty has learned a lesson
from the strike and has begun working
