ADJUSTING NEW WAGES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 30, 5.5 p.m. London, March 29 Coal-owners at Cannock Chase offered the miners a wage for April two and a quarter times that of July, 1914. The miners received the offer with great satisfaction. The owners in South Wales offered the men wages- on the 1915 standard during April. The men replied that they were not able to answer pending the national conference in London, to-morrow. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. NEW PHASE OF DISPUTE. Received March 30, 8.15 p.m. London. March 30. There is a new phase of the critical coal negotiation's. Sir [Robert Horne (President of the Board of Trade) has accepted the miners’ suggestion to meet them, but it is understood Sir Robert Horne’s power to intervene successfully is circumscribed, owing to the men demanding a national pool, which requires legislation. This the Government has already finally rejected. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
