London - April 26th.—A
three
hours
|
conference
today
between
the
miners
|
and
the
mine-owners,
with
Sir
Robert
Horne presiding,
brought
the disputants
|
in
the
coal
strike
no
nearer
an
agree-
ment,
though
the mine owners
aménded
their
proposals.
Hope
was
expressed
tonight
over
the
fact
that
the
miners
|
had
agreed
to
meet
Sir
Robert
Horne
on
WedrS:day
morning,
after
which
|
the
Chan®iior
will
have
another
sepa-
rate
couference
with
the
mine-owners.

In a statement
issued
aiter

con-
|
ference,
the miners
federation
says
that
on both the fundamental

at stake

a

and

board,
the
mine owners’
new
proposals
repr-sept
no ad
ance
at
all
toward
an
agreement.
i'he
proposals
o the
owa-
ers were
as
follows:
First.
That
for
a
temporary
period
any
change
in
wages
shall only be at a rate
basis
in each
area.
Second.
That
wages
rates
shall be
calcu-
lated
on the are.,
instead
of the

basis,
Third.
That
the
owners
shall
forego
profits
for
three
months.
Os
these
proposals
the
miners
say:
First.
The
miners
demand
for flat rate advances
and
reduction
on
a national
basis
are
in
no
way
met.
Secon
.
That
the
areas
are
only amino.
variation
from the
old
districts.
Third,
that
capital
having
always
based
its
claim
to
reward
on
the assumption
that
1t
takes
the
risks
of
the
industry,
it
should
bear
losses
in
times
of repression,
as it
reaps
profits in
good
times.
Sir
Robert
Horne
at
the
-
conferance
produced
figur-s
showing
that
during
March,
the
last
month
of
government
eontrol of mines,
there
was
a loss of £5,259,200
on the month’s
work-
ing,
without
allowing
for
the
owners

per

of
which
27/9
were
paid
as
wages,
while
the
monev
received
for
the
coal
was
32 shillings
and
one penny.
Phere
was
a
long
discussion
of
these
figures and
on
the question
of the reduc-
tioa
1n wages
necessary
to
cover
a
defi-
cit.
of whiech
Mr. I'rank
Hodges,
Secre-
tacy
of the
Miners
Union,
declared,
if
the
Government
does
not provide
a
sub-
stanual
partion
or the deficit, the
work-
men
must aceept
wages
below
the living
level,
or the dispute
will continue
until
tha
men
are
st
rved back
to work’’.
Sir
Robert
Horne
replied
that
he
did
not
know
where
the
money
was
to
come
from
to fill the gap
between
the
reduc-
tion
of two
shillings per
day,
to
which
the
miners
were
willing to submit,
and
the
point at
which' the
entire
industry
could stand
it.
Mr. Hodges
insisted
that
the reduction
sh«!l
be

ter,
pointing out that
the
advances
dur-
ing
the
war
had
been
given
