AFTERNOON SHIFT IN MINES.
AN ABORTIVE CONFERENCE. Sydney, January 28. The "Afternoon Shift" Conference failed, all proposals from either side being rejected. The men's representatives, after stating that the men ■ turned down the proprietors' proposals made at tbe last' conference, made suggestions for the abolition of the Becond _ shift at various : mines within six to eighteen months. They also asked for an extra 3d. per ton after the first three months to the abolition of the shift, and 10 per cent, extra, for all employees working the second and third shifts. The proprietors turned down the proposals, renewing the offer made at the previous conference, in addition to paying 3d. per ton for pick-won coal by the afternoon shift and 2d. per ton for ma- • chine-won coal. This placed the limitation of the afternoon shift at variousmines at from three to five years. No proposals were made for a further conference.
