of the coal dispute was reached ct
tho various conferences at which Pre-
mier Asquith and members of his Cab
met and representatives of the mine
owners and the miners participated
to-day. The official statement of the
proceedings Issued tonight tells
nothing OF what was done or said.
1t declares that the conferences will
be resumed tomorrow. from which all
that can be deduced is that the gov
eminent lie still striving to- avert a
stoppage of the gigantic Industry on
which the country's commercial SUI
premacy is based.
Between 10000 and 10000 miners in
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
ceased work to-day, In accordance
with notices previously given, and it
is now quite evident that as the timo
limit provided for in the notices ex-
pfres, the mon Will lay down their
tools and await the action OF the
miners federation.
Until the owners are persuaded to
concede the minimum wage principle
1t is obvious that nothing can be ac-
compl'shed by bringing the disputants
together. II government intervention
fails by Friday morning, practically
every colliery IN the land will be smut
down. Meanwhile many thousands of
miners are making ready to strike.
