NO AGREEMENT in

LONDON, Nov 6.-tP)-Peace ne
gotiations are giving the govern

considerable trouble. A prolonged
cabinet council today followed by n
conference OF the mine owners with
the government and another confer
ence Of the mintrs and trades union
congress with the government left
matters little advanced from the po-
sirion of last night, and it appears
certain that peace Is not likely at
least before theNend of next week.
All the parties concerned in today's
negotiations are vowed 10 secrecy,
hence it is difficult to discover the
exact situation, but ii seems that the
mine owners still decline to accept
the terms proposed by the miners
who want national agreement, TO
embrace a minimum wage and the
maintenance of the ratio of 81 per
cent aHocated to wages and IL per
cent to profits, besides some form OF
arbitration.
