To Settle British
Coal Strike, Today,

London, March IA general dis
cussion of the situation took place and
the conference adjourned at $40 p. NJ.
until 80 o'clock, tomorrow morning.
This was all the information di-
vulged by the official statement con-
corning the results of the momentous
conference at the engineers office, to-
day, on which hangs the last hope of
settling the coal strike without re-
course to legislation. The conference,
which included representatives of the
coal owners and miners, as we'll as of
the cabinet, was held under the Presi-
dency of Premier Asquith Three and
half hours We're devoted to debate
of the whole subject of the strike, but
basis for a settlement was not
reached.
1t was the first time since the govern
ment interviewed that the disputants had
been brought together. The fact that
the conference will reassemble, tomor'
row, indicates that there is a deadlock,
and gives ground for the hope that some
agreement will be reached paving th=
way for settlement of the strike. Fur
Their than that, all is surmise.
