STRIKE CONTINUES.
WEST COAST MINERS
DESIRE FOR CONFERENCE
STATEMENT BY UNION LEADER. (By Telegraph.—rress Association.) GREYMOUTH, this day. A conciliatory niocnl was general among miners interviewed to-day. Mr. W. Purely, secretary of the West Coast Miners' Council, stated that it' a conference eventuated he believed everything could be fixed to the satisfaction of both parties. "Every possibility of a settlement should be tested," he said,
"and every avenue explored."
The position remains unchanged, only safety men remaining at the mines.
In all, £.500 tons of coal has been taken overland since the mines stopped, 1200 being from the bin* of idle mines, and the remainder from co-operative mines. The steamer Kaiiniro loaded '.2000 tons. The position now is that idle mines have only sufficient coal in their bins for use by the boilers, in the event of a prolonged strike.
The co-operative mines are working full time. Some orders held by the idie mines have been transferred to them.
