MINERS TO CONFER AGAIN.
DELEGATES MEET ON THURSDAY. NO RESUMPTION IN MEANTIME. MINERS’ OFFICIAL VIEW. Received April 17, 5.5 p.m. London. April 16. Mr. Hodges has announced that pending a full conference of miners’ delegates on Thursday, work will not be re. sumed to-day. Mr. Hodges has issued a statement that a joint conference of railwaymen, transporters and locomotive men, having had to cancel the strike in consequence of the confusion confronting the conference yesterday, no reasonable hope remained of securing spontaneous and united action by the three bodies which are essential to give the miners the help they sought. Partial and hopelessly incomplete sympathy with the stoppage would have weakened the organisations without materially helping the miners. Until Thursday night there was every hope of a tremendous display of working class solidarity. Subsequent circumstances, which we profoundly regret, destroyed the firm ground- upon which the Triple Alliance strike call was based, leaving no alternative than cancellation.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
