As the rostor was a complicated document, it had been decided to adjourn tho meeting of the conference, which was to. have been held tc-uighf, in a date to be agreed unon by tho coaiiei! and tho union. MrT Wilford further stated that he could see daylight, and, yth tho co-operation of the executive of the. union, honed to arrive at a settlement shortly. It was reported' last week -that tha council, before the conference-resumed, would si&mii proposals Vβ tbc iarion,-addi-tional to those of which r.articKliirs have already been published in these columns. Further proposals have now been drawn up, but they contain no definite suggestion as to "rates of pay, under a new agreement."
