After Their Conference with the Owners London, June 7.
The conference between the coal owners and the miners has adjourned in order to enable both sides to consider the situation separately.
The Miners' Executive sat for three hours in consultation and then decided to ask the owners vomorrow for a fina! elucidation of a number of questions, to summon a delegate conference for June 10 and to recomniend a ballot of members.
Questioned after their meeting, the members of the Miners' Executive appeared most optimistic and declared that the owners' latest proposals were a great improvement. on their previous offers, apparently enabling the miners to resume without fear of their wages being reduced below the subsistence level. The Executive intend to use their influence in favour of a settlement.—Reuter.
