COAL MINERS' DISPUTE.
OFFER OF TEMPORARY SETTLEMENT. (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) RUGBY, December 2. The confidence expressed by tlio Secretary for Mines (Mr E. Shinwell) that the stoppage on the Scottish coalfields will end is shared by leading officials of the Miners' Federation. A full delegate conference of the National Union of Scottish Mine-work-ers is being held at Glasgow, when the offer for a temporary settlement made by the owners' representatives 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 work on spread-over terms will be reconsidered.
Tlie coal negotiations, apart from the temporary arrangements thermitting tlie continuance of work in districts where no agreements yet exist, are largely in suspense, until after tho meeting of the Miners' Federation on Thursday, In Scotland to-day no accommodation was reached between the owners and the mine-workers, but efforts continue to end the partial stoppage, which affects about 80,000 Scottish miners.
