BRITISH COAL INDUSTRY.
DE-CONTROL NEXT MONTH. I" I: ; ADJUSTMENT OF WAGES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 24>, 7.40 p.m. London, Feb. 23. A conference between Sir Robert Horne (President of the Board of Trade) and the Miners’ Federation resulted in Sir Robert Home promising to cancel the instructions to owners which led certain collieries to serve fourteen days’ formal notice on the workmen in order to terminate the existing agreements. The miners’ leaders are alleging that sixty days’ notice is necessary under the control system. The federation also protested against the de-control of the coal industry on March 31. In any case there should be no financial de-control until August 31. Sir Robert Horne replied that de-control was proposed at the end of March, and representatives of the masters and the men were now hard at work endeavoring to find a mutual settlement of the wages problem.—Aus.-N.Z.
