BRITISH COAL DISPUTE
EFFORTS AT SETTLEMENT CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED [ British Official Wireless. ] RUGBY, Dec. 2. The confidence expressed by the Secretary for Mines that the stoppages in the Scotland coalfields will end is shared by leading officials of the Miners’ Federation. A full delegate conference of the National Union of Scottish Mine Workers is being held at Glasgow when the offer for a temporary settlement made by the owners’ representative at yesterday’s meeting of the Conciliation Board will presumably be considered, and hopes are entertained that the whole question of granting the required authority for the men to w’ork on the spread-over terms will be reconsidered.
The coal negotiations, apart from the temporary arrangements permitting a continuance of work in districts where no agreements yet exist, are largely in suspense until after the meeting of the Miners’ Federation on Thursday in Scotland. To-day no agreement was reached between the owners and mineworkers, but the efforts will continue to end the partial stoppage, which affects about 80,000 Scottish miners..
