 NOT NEAR SETTLEMENT
Miners Apparently Have Turned Deaf Ear to Proposals of
 Stanley Baldwin.

London, Sept. IS P-Up to the present there seems very slight prospects Of peace resulting from Premier Baldwin's offer to the miners last night. He said that If they went back to work they might have their demands-a national agreement - accepted in effect if not in word.
 The premier told the miners that the government would back them in obtaining what they were seeking if they would only admit economic facts and return to the mines. He said he had endeayorcd to get the mine owners into q conference on q national agreement covering hours and wages but had failed. However, they were willing to admit the prin ciples that such a, national agree mcnt would secure.
 A. J. Cook, secretary for the miners federation. after the agree ment announcement said that peace was no nearer than it was 20 weeks ago.
