POSITION NOT SO BRIGHT. IUNEIS STILL FIRM. “UNOFFICIAL PROPOSALS USELESS.” By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received May 22, 5.5 p.m. London, May 21. Air. Frank Hodges (the miners’ leader) officially states that Mr. Smith and himself consider the recent unofficial proposals useless, and no proposal foi a meeting havel yet emanated from the Government.
