in Preventing Strike
of Coal Miners

LONDON, Feb. 2s.-Mixed feelings pre-
vail today among those directly inter-
ested in the coal trade dispute. While
the great majority of the general public
finds 1t hard to believe that such a ca
lamity as national strike Of coal miners
involving nearly 100000 men will be al
lowed TO occur the coal owners on the
whole take a less favorable view Of the
situation.
Delegates OF the coal owners and of
the mipers held separate meetings pri-
vately mis- morning TO discuss the out
come Of yesterdays conferences with
Premier Asquith and other members Of
the government
Another conference Of committee con-
sisting OF members Of the cabinet with
deputation of coal owners was held
this afternoon. the object OF tho gov
ernmen, being to secure some Concession
to offer to the miners.
Premier AsquIth had an audience with
King George at Buckingham Palace after
the meeting with the coal owners, and
communicated TO him the progress Of the
negotiations which. as far as can be
ascertained, appear to be tending toward
peace.
