SETTLEMENT HOPES.
NEGOTIATIONS IN SCOTLAND. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 12 noon.) RUGBY, December 2. The confidence expressed by the Secretary of Mines, Mr. E. Shinwell, that the stoppage in the Scottish coalfields will end, is shared by leading officials of the Miners' Federation. The full delegate conference of the National Union of Scottish Mine Workers is still sitting at Glasgow, and the offer for a temporary settlement made by the owners' representatives at yesterday's meeting of the Conciliation Board will presumably be considered. Hopes are entertained/that the whole question of granting the required authority for the men to work on ihe spread-over terms will be reconsidered. Coal negotiations apart from the temporary arrangements permitting a continuance of work in the districts where no agreements yet exist, are largely in suspense' until after the meeting of the Miners' Federation on Thursday in Scotland. To-day no accommodation was reached between the owners and mine workers, but the effort is to continue to end the partial stoppage, which affects about 80,000 Scottish miners.
