SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL.
MINERS WILLING TO CONFER. PROPRIETORS' CONDITIONAL CONSENT. SYDNEY, 17th November ' The situation in connection with tho coal is a little more hopeful tonight. The Strike Committee adopted a resolution to the effect that it could not accept Mr. Wade's suggestions for bringing the parties together, but it would be pleased to confer with him, and appointed a committee of six delegates to wait upon Mr Wade to-morrow morning. • * One suggestion they will bring forward will be that some of the more important of the vmen's grievances should be redressed before they return to work. At a meeting to-day the Southern colliery proprietors expressed willingness to accept Mr. Wade's suggestions, with a proviso that the employees give a guarantee that in the event of the proposed conference proving abortive they will continue to work under the conditions existing prior to •the present stoppage pending a settlement of the trouble by the Wages Board no.w in existence. This decision was embodied in a letter to the Premier. The Northern colliery proprietors will meet on Friday to discuss Mr. Wade's proposals.
