COAL STRIKE.

NEW CONFERENCE.

PREMIER CALLING MEETING,

HOPES TO END DEADLOCK.

Aj Telegraph.—Press Assn.—CopyrfcM. \ Received May 15, 5.5 p.m. London, May 13. The Daily Mail lobbyist writes that Mr. Lloyd George is personally summoning the owners and miners to a new conference on Wednesday and Thursday to try to end the deadlock. Neither the Government nor the Parliamentary Labor Party anticipate serious trouble from the railwaymen, despite the threatened Scottish strike. Nevertheless much bitterness and class strife exists, and the struggle has reached a stage calling for the calmest statesmanlike handling.—United Service.

DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.

PLEA FOR A CONFERENCE.

A BETTER MOOD REQUIRED.

Received May 15, 55 p.m. London, May 13.

In the House of Commons, on a motion for the adjournment, Mr. J. R. dynes (leader of the Parliamentary Labor Party) pressed the Government to bring both sides together again. If a reasonable offer was made to the min.ers he believed the men would accept it, but sacrifices must be made on both sides. Mr V. Hartshorn (Labor) stated the Government should insist on both parties hammering out a solution of the problem. Brigadier-General H. Page-Croft (National Party) asserted that those who inspired the industrial upheaval were hand in glove with Moscow; Williams, damp and Hodges, he asserted, were declared revolutionaries, and no further evidence was required to enable the Government to proceed against them foi high treason. Mr. Lloyd George said the Government was watching developments in regard to revolutionary movements, and should special legislation be necessary he would not hesitate to ask the House to pass it. He could not say to what extent these revolutionary movements had been subsidised by foreign money. He added that before the coal parties were got together again the ‘ nevernever” mood must evaporate, and the Government wanted an assurance that

the parties would be in a better mood to negotiate. He did not want to see the miners starved into submission, hut we must find fair ways of dealing with the dispute which would not be destructive to any other industry.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn
