CONFERENCES COME TO AN END
AND PARLIAMENTL WILL EI
ASKED TO ACT.
London, March Ilr.--Government ef
fort to settle the coal strike by effect
ing an agreement between mine owt'
ere and their employes has tailed.
After three days of conferences, the
negotiations ceased tonight. Legisla
tive action now will be sought to ob
tain a minimumn wage for all under
ground coal workers. In making this
announcement to the conference todpay
Premier Asqulth said:
"The government has done all in its
power to secure a settlement of the
controversy by agreement and has
come to the conclusion with great re
gret, that this is impossible and that
other measrtes, ' therefore, must be
tl'en."
An official account of today's con
stoppage of work now had lasted more
than a fuortnight and was producing
Incalculable inconveniences and losses,
and in places actual suffering.
After reviewing the attempts to ob
tain an agreement between the inter
ested parties, the official report con
tinues:
"The prime minister stated that the
government would ask from parlia
ment a legislative declaration that a
reasonable minimum wage, accom
panied by adequate safeguards for the
protection of the employe, should be
made a statutory term of the contract
of employment of persons engaged in
underground coal mines. As regards
the important question how such
minimum wage may be ascertained
for any particular area, the prime
minister, without pledging the governi
ment to any precise form of machin
ery, indicated that district minima
should be fixed locally by a Judicial
board of each district, contisting of
representatives of employers and em
ployes with a neutral independent
chairman, who might be selected by
the parties themselves, or If necessary,
by the government."
The miners' delegates expressed sat
isfaction, at the turn affairs had
taken.
