The coal conference ended in a deadlock. The parties made a state ment that after considerable discussion the coal owners submitted a scheme for the fature regulation of wages based on output which, after full consistently. sideration, the miners' representatives did not accept. The latter submitted further proposals for the present and future regulation of wages in relation to output, which after full consideration, the coal owners' representatives `did not accept. The parties are reporting separately to the Government.

THE STUMBLING BLOCK.

-

Mich disappointment has been caused by the failure of the conference, which was attended by 50 colliery owners and the full miners' executive, who sat two hours in the morning and three and a balf in the afternoon and evening. In spite of these protracted discussions the general opinion outside the conference chamber, based on reliable reports, which prevailed until a late moment was that there were good prospects of settlement. As the communique Indicates the apparently unbridgable gulf was due precisely to the same

cause obtaining last week until the Government sug. gested an algebraical datum line for joint consideration. That is to say, the co2l owners cannot see eye to eye with the miners' insistence that a 25. shift should be conceded right away before- In contradistinction from simulaneously with consideration of the scheme awarding increased pay for increased production.

FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES.

The South Wales Miners' Federation all along insisted on an immediate wige advance. Moreover, they were strongly antagonistic to any settlement OA the basis of payment by results unless it was

One of the greatest Chinese with unlawfully returning difficulties at the abortive London conference has been the two parties to the Colony after having regarding the situation from different angles. Thus the coal owners have banished on July 22 last, for a period always borne in mind that output is the basis of the Government plan, while the miners all along put wages in the forefront. Hence there has been a considerable amount of fencing. Some light is thrown on the miners' standpoint if the statement made by Mr. John Cairns." MP., to the Stock bura mines is credible that he predicted the early movement, in the reduction of the miners' working hours to six a day.

The meeting lasted an hour and three quarters, after which Mr. Hodges made. a statement that the Prime Minister urged a further meeting with the coal owners with a view to agreeing to a datum line. The miners replied tha they concluded that no further good would accrue from that. They would have to report to to-morrow's miners' conference.

The owners proposed fixing the amount at 242,000,000 tons as the average output with increased wages for all tonnage produced above that datum line. The miners counter proposa was that the last quarter's output be the datum Ime. The owners justified their figure which is above last year's output on the ground that the num- ber of employees was constantly increasing. The position to-day is that if nothing is done to prevent or further postpone a strike, stoppage com mences on October 2. The last word appears to reet with the miners" delegate meeting to-day.
