THE COAL CONFERENCE.
j STEADY PROGRESS. < I (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") 1 j WELLINGTON, Saturday. .■ '■ To-day's sitting of the coal owners' v ' and miner*' delegates resulted in t 'jd-ennite progress being made along lines 1 'j of settlement. Many important details 1 ' have yet to be decided, and a hitch may ' occur, though indications aro • fairly i hopeful of an amicabie compromise on { dilte'rences. r The conference frequently divides into t separate meetings of employers and em- ; plnye*s for the purpose of discussing, , ways of getting over disputed points, , anei most of to-day's preiceedings were , held for this purpose in committee. It will be necessary to discuss the ( position for at least another day next , week, and possibly the outcome of the T I e-'infe*rence will not be known until Tuesi day evening. Even then any compromise ( i will be subject to ratification by a wider { ■ body so far as the men are concerned. ,
