Reptesenhhvu Say “the Discussions Are . Continued in Hope jof ‘Adjustment. ] + London, Oct. 24— (By The A. P.) Pre- mm- Lloyd George cabinet members and representatiyes of- the striking coal min- ers conferred for three hours in the pre- meir's - official residence in Downing street today, and after the miners’ dele- gates had departed the cabinet members continued in session with ~Mr. Lioyd Frank Hodges on leaving with the other representatives of the miners said the discussions would be continued. Affer the meeting With the govern- ment leaders the miners’ eXecutive body went into conference, which lasted until 430 p. m. and then adjourned until to- morrow ~ afternoon. The conversation with Mr. Lloyd George and other mem- bers of the government will be resumed in Downing street tomorrow morning, it was announced. Hope seemed to prevail that there would be a settlement of the coal strike as a result of the renewal of the direct negotiations hetween the miners and the government. Meantime neitirer side has disclosed the nature of these megotia- tions, but, according to unofficial re- ports, Premier Lloyd George suggested some new formula which would satisfy the government that if a two shillings advance in wages was conceded it must be accompanied by anincreased output. Nothing is "known of the nature. of this formula. but there seems to be a strong beliet that jthe full executive committee of the Miners' Federation will meet the government within a few days on & basis which .can be submitted to the miners for acceptance or rejection.
