Robert Smillie, president of the Miners’ Federation, already has stated that the miners will never consent to work for longer hours underground. He has called a series of meetings to be held this week. On Thursday the miners’ executive meeting will draft recommendations answering the owners’ proposals and submit them to the men on Friday at a conference of their delegates, which will decide a course of action. a foregone conclusion that the will refuse to acquiesce, and al importance of the er ng \e industrial affairs of G Bri 1 cannot be overestimated. compromise may be effected. but it is regarded as extremely doubtful, and a general walkout is probable on August 1.

Gifford' Pinchot of Penn- sylvanla told members of the St. Paul Assoclation today. He issued a warning of the dangers of the monopoly of electric power and also offered a solution of the problem. “Giant power is a plan to bring cheaper and better electric service to all those who have it now and to bring zood and cheap electric service to those who are still without it. “But the glant power plan is con- tingent on one condition only.
