COAL OWNERS CONFER
WITH BRITISH CABINET
Little Possibility of Agreement on
Government Proposals Seen
After Meeting.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON. November 28.-For three
hours today coal owners discussed with
the cabinet coal committee the govern
ment's legislative proposals with regard
to mining. 1t was reported there was
little possibility of the owners agree
ing with the governments proposals.
There are three points of cleavage
reduction of working hours, marketing
schemes and the establishment of a ma
tional wages board. 1t is expected the
government now will have no alterna-
tive but to proceed speedily with the
legislation without either the owners
consent or cooperation.
Among the coal owners the view is
expressed that the governments present
marketing proposals go farther than
was originally indicated. The original
proposal was that the government
would,-by statute If necessary. enforce
compliance with an approved district
marketing scheme and a central CO.
ordinating scheme devised by the coal
owners. The present proposal, 1t is
charged, goes much beyond those con-
ditionS and implies considerable inter-
ference both In detail and in the adj
mtnistration of the schemes.
The governments proposals call for q
reduction of half hour in the miners
working day and the establishment of
a national board to control wages. The
awards of this board would be binding
on all owners. To enable the industry
to bear these changes the marketing
schemes are contemplated. Through
them 1t is hoped to secure consistent
market for coal at profitable price.
