Hopes for Early Settlement (Britiau OQiclu,) Wireleas.) EUGBY, May 23. A more hopeful view is taken of the prospect3 for an early settlement of the colliery dispute at Harworth between the local Miners' Association and the rivAl Nottinghamshire Industrial Union. The growing confidence in an early settlement is strengthened by developments yesterday when the mediation of the Secretary for Mines was successful • in bringiug about a joint meeting of the federation, the industrial union and the' local owners. At the joint meeting it was agreed that further meetings should be held to discuss the terms of amalgamation of the rival unions, all parties having accepted the principle of amalgamation, and the Secretary of Mines was asked by the joint conferenee to nominate a neutral chairman for the conduct of further meetings. Mr. John Forster, who recently presided over the Court of Inquiry into the London bus dispute, has been nominated and the first meeting will be held on Monday. It is expected the inquiry will last about three days.
