BRITISH COAL PROBLEM
DEMANDS OF THE MINERS DOOR TO NEGOTIATIONS LEFT OPEN By Tblbgrafs—Press Association. Copyright. London, April 8. It is understood that the executive of the Miners’ Federation has»decided to reject the coal owners’ proposals, and recommend a special conference of miners’ delegates to-morrow to refuse district settlements and wage reductions.—Reuter. London, April 9. There is intense public interest in to-day’s miners’ delegate conference. The “Daily Herald” is silent regarding the terms of the executive’s recommendation, but there is little doubt that it will demand a national agreement and a national minimum wage, while not closing the door to negotiations or rejecting the Commission’s report. Mr. H. Smith, president of the Miners’ Federation, in an' interview, said: “The miners should not be called on to make further sacrifices. I do not believe the public require the miners alone to bear the cost of reorganisation of the industry.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
