TEUTONS MAKING GREAT DRIVE AT SEAPORT OF RIGA (Continved rrom Page One) miners causes serious apprehension. 4 The miners now have increased thelr i demands by asking the government to " withdraw the royal proclamation making the coal mines subject to the munitions action. President Runciman of the Board of Trade rejected this proposition at a conference last night, and a meeting held in London today fallad to seoure any g ground for an adjustment. 4 The extremist leaders declare, however, that It is a quastion no longer of a 5 per cent Increase in wages, but the ubroga- tion of the royal proclamation which subjects the miners to a fine of $15 dally for striking. No effort yet has been made to enforce the fines against the 160,000 strikers, ‘which the icaders construe as an evidence of virtual impossibility of carrying out the plans. Reports recelved this morning from all the Welsh centers shows that the strike continues to cause much agitation, but no disorder.
