The Baldwin cabinet drew up its| proposals and presented them to both sides in the dispute late Saturday! night. The mining agsociation, com- prising the operators, being power- less to act as a negotiating body, tele- graphed the proposals to the districts to determine the attitude of the local associations of operators. The executive of the miners’ feder- ation met this morning to consider the proposal, prior to going to ten Downing Street this afterndon to re- sume conversations. The principles laid down by the government provide for a division of net proceeds from the mines between profits and wages, the ratio between profits and wages to be fixed accord- ing to the economic position of each district. The government plan does not mention working hours which would have to ‘be adjusted later by district negotiations.
