Important developments in the coal dispute occurred to-day. Representatives of the owners and miners separately met Mr \V. 0. Bridgeman at the Ministry of Lablr to discuss the obstacles to the opening of negotiations for a new agreement. Simultaneously a special conference of representatives of all ithe trade unions affiliated to the Trade Union Congress was held at the Central Hall at Westminster to discuss unemployment, also the mining and textile disputes. The miners’ executive submitted a statement to the conference declaring that the miners desired a peaceful settlement of the dispute. It said that possibly the lock-out notices might bo postponed or withdrawn, but the mine owners were apparently resolved to force a lock-out, irrespective of the consequences. The statement includes an appeal to the whole trade union movement to support the miners. —Reuter.
