AN ABORTIVE CONFERENCE.
BLACKBALL STRIKE
WESTPORT, Aug. 22
The conference between the managers of the coalmines of the West Coast and the executives of mining unions to discuss the objections of the miners to the third shift, has came to a complete deadlock.
The companies claim the right to employ six pairs of men in the heading for development work, no coal to be handled in the shift. The unions claim to limit the number of men to two pairs. The delegates have returned to their homes. Future steps are very uncertain. Meantime negotiations for new industrial agreements are held in abeyance.
