A conference of coal owners and miners of the northern district convened to negotiate a new working agreement resumed to-day.

The union representatives retired to consider this intimation. At lunch time it was learned that the men had reached no decision on the owners’ condition, but had framed proposals for submission to the owners this afternoon.
