LONDON. April 9.--The coal mine strike, which threatened to carry with it a strike of the railway men and transport workers, seems to be in fair way of settlement through negotiation.
 After all day conferences and in terviews, when it was supposed that all efforts to move the miners had proved intellectual, it was suddenly announced that the miners had yield ed and that conference with the coal owners had been. convened for Monday.
 Notices were sent out to the min ing districts urging abstention from action that would interfere with measures for the safety of the mines.
 The only explanation available as to what inducements were offered the miners to remove their objection to assenting to steps assuring safe- ty of the mine owners property is the statement of Frank Hodges. sec retary of the miners union-"the conference was arranged uncondi- tionally."
 Whether the rumors that the gov ernment is willing that the wage question should be adjusted on a na- tional basis may be held to explain the change in the situation is un- known. If. as MT. Hodges suggest ed. the government and mine owners have agreed to an unconditional con- ference, that would be sufficient to induce the miners to yield the pump ing point In any case. the unex- pected agreement gives the Hveliest hope that countrywide struggle will be averted.
 Arthur Henderson. labor leader, al- though not personally concerned in today's meeting with Premier Lloyd ;rl, f,,11 af co that there will be no general strike Tuesday.
 The executive committee of the Triple Alliance, after a conference with the premier, issued this state- ment tonights
 Tt has been agreed that: The government shall summon d confer ence of representatives of the miners federation and the coal owners Mon day, and the miners federation shall tonight issue notices to the federa- tfon's branches urging miners to ab- stain. from action interfering with measures necessary for ensuring the safety of the mines or necessitatins the use of force by the government
 J. H. Thomas. secretary of the Ma etional Union of Railwaymen. said thf { statement was the result of nesotia- tions between the railwaymen. trans port workers and the government an6 had been accepted by the miners.
 The triple alliance will remain il session during the negotiations in or der if necessary to give effect t their previous decision.
 The Press association says:
 "There is definite hope that the ne rotiations will proceed smoothly am that not only will active intervention by the railwaymen and transpor workers be avoided but that the min ers' stoppage will be ended. Tn early return of the pumpmen is pos sible." ., triple alliance continued efforts t bring about negotiations betwee the miners and the government. Aft CT the third interview between rail waymen and transport workers wit the premier, J. H. Thomas and Har ry Gosling( leader of the transpoi workers, reported that the deputa ton would discuss matters agai with the miners, but would not SC the premier again until tomorrow.
 After the conference the premie had an audience with the king.
 During the day it was reporte that, provided the pumping difficu tv could be surmounted. the goverT n1ent was not averse to negotiatin the wage question on a national bas is. as claimed by the miners. It not certain. however, that the gov ernment will go that far.
