COAL CRISIS.
POSITION VERY SERIOUS. FEARS OF A STRIKE. THE DEADLOCK CONTINUES.. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The tension in regard to the coalmining crisis has not yet relaxed. To-day a further conference took nlace, but the difficulty in relation to the appointment of a chairman of the tribunal which the Premier proposes should enquire into the alleged victimisation at Blackball has not been surmounted. It is understood a certain proposition warf made to the executive of the Miners’ Federation, but the latter rejected the proposal. It is stated an important statement will be made to-day by the secretary of the federation as to the next move. Some closely connected with the dispute consider a strike is inevitable, but others hope a settlement will be arrived at before the extreme step is taken. It is generally recognised that the position is very serious. The Prime Minister, seen to-night, said the time was not opportune to make a statement on the matter. Arrangements had been made for another interview to-morrow, and he hoped, as a result, that the position would improve.
