COMPLETE DEADLOCK.
NEGOTIATIONS FAIL. WRECKED ON NATIONAL POOL. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. (Received this day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, April 20. The national pool once again proved the rock upon which efforts to achieve a mutual understanding was unmistakably wrecked. The prospects of peace seem as far off as ever. Labourites state any hopes of immediate results of tin' negotiations have faded into thin air. The next development lies with the districts which are not precluded from taking the initiative, as the executive has not made any recommendations. It is presumed the delegates will now eturn to their district’s to sit down and await events. Evidence is accumulating that opinion among the miners is divided. An increasing section is willing to forego the national principle, provided the wage standard is satisfactory. The Owners Committee meeting on Friday is not expected to result in a fresh offer. Meanwhile the cost of the strike to the nation is mounting up. U>sses of industry apd revenue are at present not calculable. The railways alone are losing £2,. r >oo,ooo weekly, and the doI fence force is costing at least a million weekly.
