NOT OWNERS' TERMS
OBJECTIONS STILL POSSIBLE,
(Received 13th November, 11 a.m.) LONDON, 12th November. The coal owners have issued a statement to the effect that the Government's proposed terms of settlement as outlined to the miners wero not theirs.
The Government later made a statement explaining that the terms were not based upon an agreement between the Government and the owners, but saying that if the miners accept them the Government will proceed independently with the necessary legislation. The miners' conference further discussed the terms to-day. The executive meets the Government to-night to elucidate certain points. The Government have issued a further statement that Mr. Evan Williams, the coal owners' president, had assured the Government that the owners' district associations would not object to the majority of the Government's terms. The statement added that the terms necessarily could not be agreed with by the owners because the owners had refused to negotiate as a national association.
