BRITISH MINEOWNERS.
PROPOSALS OF GOVERNMENT.
REFUSAL TO CO-OPERATE
(Receive-i November 22, 6.5 p.m.) British Wireless. RUGBY, Nov. 21. The text of the Government's first bill for dealing with the situation in the coalmining industry contains proposals for setting up a wages board and dealing with working hours and marketing schemes. It will bo issued next week. So far the niineowners, despite the advocacy of the Government's policy by the Yorkshire group, have refused to cooperate. However, the Times says opinion is current on the political side of the Miners' Federation that a compromise may yet be reached. It is suggested that if the miners weio prepared to enter upon a joint conference there might be no need for the setting up of a wages board, or that at any rate the proposal might be modified so as to meet with their acceptance and remove the necessity for imposing it upon them.
