IMPORTANT CONFERENCES
Rec. 11.10 a.m.' RUGBY, April 12. What may prove to be one of the most important conferences in the history of Britain's coalmining industry is being held in London today, writes an industrial correspondent. Delegates from the coalfields are meeting to discuss the serious situation in the industry, and the miners' leaders are seeking authority from them to continue negotiations with the Government and the owners, and also a mandate to enter into a final settlement.
The recent strikes have put the miners' leaders in an awkward position. The men stayed out against the advice of their leaders, who had accepted the Government's four-year plan. They are now seeking a mandate from the miners and there is some talk of the resignations of the leaders if this is not- forthcoming.—B.O.W.
