THE MINING TROUBLE.
ABORTIVE OVERTURES BY OWNERS. PROPOSAL REJECTED BY MINERS Wellington. Nov. 15. Within the past four days coalmine owners interested in mines on the West Coast have made a further effort to settle the trouble there. Their proposal, which was conveyed by telegram, is on similar lines to the former one, but the effort to effect a settlement resulted unsuccessfully. The Miners’ Federation has replied that the offer is. “much less liberal” f ian that submitted to the miners’ Representative recently, but the want of liberality is denied by the mineowners. Meantime the deadlock prevails. MINERS SATISFIED TO REMAIN IDLE. Westport, Nov. 15. The West Coast district council of the Coal Miners’ Federation met at Westport to-day and after reviewing the position expressed themselves as well satisfied with the state of affairs as existing at present. They maintain that the “locked out” miners are more determined than ever to secure some improvement in the existing conditions and express the hope that the coalowners will soon condescend to negotiate along the lines of the last proposals submitted by the miners’ delegates at the recent Reef ton conference. They also reviewed the question of the coal output in the Buller and Grey districts.
