sociated Press) The prime minister,
Mr. Lloyd George again met ihe ex
ecutive committee ol the miners un
ion this morning in an effort lo find
a solution of the coal strike. The
conference was not productive of any
immediate progress toward a set
tlement, but the n liners representa
tives arranged to meet In their head
quarters to discuss Mr. Lloyd eorge't
statement.
The prime minister is reported to
have told the miners' delegates that
unless an agreement could b readied
by the miners and the mine ownrs,
legislation would be introduced t
compel both sides to resort to arbi
tration. Later Mr. Lloyd (ieorge met the
mine owners. Proposals were hand
ed to both parties for a temporary ar
rangement leading to a permanent
scheme, tho temporary proposals pro
vide for a gradual scaling down of
wages until they reach an economic
level, which the industry is capable of
sustaining, based on the grant of 10,
000,000 pounds sterling from the ex
chequer and surrender by the owners
of the standard profits for three
months in the districts in which the
government assistance is required.
Thu government grant, however,
will not be given until arrangements
for continuing the agreement have
been arranged between the contend
ing parties.
With regard to a permanent
scheme, it is pointed out that if the
parties are unable to agree on terms
fop a continuous period, the mutter
must bo decided by ono of three
methods:
1. A national wage board to be
composed of an equal number of
owners and miners shall bo estab
lished under a neutral chairman.
2. A tribunal of three persons
shall be established to decide the mut
ters at issue.
.'t. Tho questions In dispute shall
be referred to a singlu arbitration de
cision of a body or person selected
and shall be binding on both parties
for a year thereafter, subject to three
months nut lee by either side.
