THREATENED BREAKAWAY
NOTTS LEADER WANTS TO MAKE
LOCAL AGREEMENT.
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, 31st August. Lively, scenes and plain speaking were features of the meeting of the executive of the Miners' Federation. The leaders looked gloomy and troubled when they separated. It is understood that a stern fight occurred between, the' moderates and the diehards, the latter favouring a continuance of the struggle, and the former urging the quickest possible entry into . negotiations. . Mr. I>\ B. Varlcy, financial secretary of the Nottingham Miners' Association, flung a bombshell into the meeting by recalling liow Nottinghamshire had postponed a meeting of the local owners, hoping for a national move towards peace, which had not been forthcoming. He now asked the executive to relieve them from the pledge so that they could negotiate locally. The present position is uncertain, some papers reporting that the diehards are tho strongest party, others statins; that the miners will make a move towards peace. The. "Daily Herald" sheds no light on the situation^ ! but the fact that, a delegate, meeting | has been called is significant.
