 All Labor Alians With Miners
 The whole labor movement Is aligning itself with the miners. The workers seem to believe that the hour has struck for a final struggle against what they suspect to be ar organized plan by employers to force down wages.
 The premier. in a conference this ynorninr with the triple alliance, de- clared the government would fight or it's refusal to grant a national poo of profits.
 After failure of the morning con ference. hope remained that media tion might result from the parlia' 4 mentary conference, made up Of thf otparliamentary committee of the trade nnio ncongress, the national execu tive of the labor party and the par liamentary labor party. After pro nouncing itself on the side or tn' miners and the triple alliance. thu conference gave no signs of initiat ing new negotiations nor mediation There was virtually no peace talk.
 The Resolution adopted by thi body is not definite pledge to strik action but the appointment of com uittee to act with the triple alliance is considered an imporant move.
