MINING SITUATION
GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSALS CO-OPERATION REFUSED British Official Wireless RUGBY, Thursday. The text of the Government’s first Bill for dealing with the situation in the coal-mining industry contains proposals for setting up a wages board and dealing with working nours and marketing schemes. It will be issued next week. So far. the mine owners, despite the advocacy of the Government's policy by the Yorkshire group, have refused to co-operate. 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 were prepared to enter upon a joint conference there might be no need for the setring 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.
