It bas been eight weeks since work in the mines ceased. Vir. Lioyd George repeatedihe Govt’s. offer to grant ten million pounds to tide the coal industry over the period, during whaieh perma- nent settlement shall be negotia’cd, bat warned the conference there was no chanc2 of increasing the amouit. He addad, ""We shall not puc a singie i'rea- siui'y note o 2 the table until we know that the terms of a permanen: veace a'e agreed on”. Mr. iloyd George strongly ' urged on both sides, that uniess they could see an immediate prospect of agra:ing a-: to figures ney should agiee as to the machii- ery for sertling the figures. HE *de: ciared ihat the feature of the stoppag: that impressed him most, was thea curinus apathy which has affected tae: whole community and the relue- tince to settle the dispuie. I have never seen a great stoppage whpere less pressure vas brought on the Gov.. io settle it, the”Prime Minister said. The miners are reluctant, not so much to give a reduction in wages but to go and fell their men the real situa: tion. Jlhe mine owners are not eager to begin work when they know it isbegin- ing at a loss,,and thefirst mau they have to face, is *heir banker. At the eonclu- sion of Mr. Lloyd George’s statement. the conference adjourned, the Prime Minis- ter iavitihg the miners executive to con- fer with him at 3.30 o’clock ;‘)‘;?s after- noon, and the owners asked to see him at slx o’clock. During the eourse of his talk to the Miners Executive and the coal owners this morning, the Prime dinisier said the weneral eommunity says it does not matter so much now that or- rs arc comingin. We have good: we spouid b= giad to get rid of we are run- ning cur mill ana factories at a loss and we have passed from tropieal luxuriance vhich irade and industry enjoyed, to a winter and frost in industry. With the community, the attitude is rather to go on as we are, unless we gec a real settle- ment 7 Mr Lloyd George defined area! sotile ment as one ensuring againsi peri- odical stoppages and one enabling manu facturers to eomnglete on the worlds mar- kais. He piead d not for an agreeme.t nesely tor a maghine (o cegafar, but a machiae that wili=2>'tle. a **achine that wvill hav: thz2 right to dedirmiane in the end, if there iz a’failure to agree. You mizat have a fixed ftime limir in which the parties shouid confer and if they azcae durtay that period, there would be un need of anything furiher. The Prime Minisier said he hada suggestion’ ihat would mak: ur the time if there should be faiiure by such a body to reach aa agreement. H - asserted the Govt vas sternly Innpareal between the rwo pactizs, in the hope that the disastrous and erstly struggie, which if prolonged, tmay ilimperil the industrlal existence of the country, shaii be brougat to an 2nd. New York, May 27th. - The "‘Hera d”’ this morning prints an editorial cailing ior Anglo-American unity, and pariicu- larly for co-operation between the United States and the Bri:ish Dominions. “'De. spite certain vociferous anti-Engiish el@ments in this' country, close cc opera- tion between the Edglish speaking people would go far toward insuring peace Ailihougn commercial riviires cortinue and the irish problem remains unsettied, there are c¢nough links be- tWween America and Australla, Canada and New Zealayd to make it possiole to work together in the interesis of nankind.
