The Railwaymen's Conference has invit- at the Miners Executive to meet them at 14 o'clock tomorrow. The Miners' Freco
tire has been called to London to meet and consider the,, railwaymen's invitation and the general situation.
LIKE
Great significance is attached to the cal-" ing of the Miners Executive in London to-morrow, as it is regarded as the first rent move towards ending the deadlock, for It is the first meeting of the Executive since strike was declared. Accordingly, it is co- sidered that there is a strong posability of the
negotiations with the Government and owners being rested before the fatal Sur day midnight. Tomorrow and Sunday are, therefore, to be crucial periods.
It is noteworthy to remark that the powerful Associated Society of Enginemen and Firemen, whose membership is over seventy thousand, has not yet come to decision to join the railwaymen's strike if it eventuates and his deferred consideration of sympathetic action until Monday,

decided on a strike on Octiber 24th unless the mining trouble

The Committee has simultaneously ex- pressed & desire that no separate body. should fake action which may tend to de feat unity of effort. The foregoing moves bare tridently been determined upon as a result of the impression that the informal conversations to-day, which are being con- tinued to-morrow, between ministers and miners' leaders, with a view to arriving at basis for a conference of mine-owners and miners with the Goyeriment are likely to bear good fruit-
