STILL MEDIATING.1 Counter Proposals to be Submitted. NO DEFINITE RUPTURE. There is every indication that, despite the refusal of the N.U.R. Executive to accept the Premier's offers on Friday iiight, the future is not without hope. OUTLOOK NOT SO DARK. Mr. J. O'Grady, M.P., one of the Trades Union intermediaries, told the Press Association this morning that it was a mistake to say that the negotiations had been broken off they had not. The outlook was not so dark as it might appear at present. The Exchange Telegraph Co.'s representative understands that the intermediaries, although not expected to call upon the Prime Minister to-day, will meet to discuss situation with a view to, bringing forward COUNTER-PROPOSALS. They will probably see the Prime Minister on Monday, and on Tues- day will be able to lay their proposals before the Trades Union Congress meeting. HWITH MUCH REGRET." Mr. J. H. Thomas mad6 the following statement at Unity House this morning:—"The public will have seen with as much regret as my- self, the failure to effect a settlement last night. I do not attempt to give any reason, except that my Executives were convinced that they could not persuade the men to return to work on the conditions offered. MAY BE ANOTHER WEEK. The fact, however, that the Trades Unions are still in session and may take steps to see- the Prime Minister may lead to another meet- ing. Mr. Thomas said that the Bailwaymen's Union Excutive had abandoned the ihtention of going to the country in order that a possible barrier to the reopening of negotiations may be prevented. "STILL HOPEFUL." The Trades Union deputation adjourned before 1 o'clock. Mr. Brownlee stated: We are still hopeful, and we are still going on with our deliberations. > FRIDAY'S PARLEYS. It will be remembered tHat the Premier proposed that the N. U .R. should agree to a truce in the strike for a few^eys reorder £ hatiiggoti&. tions might be resumed. The railw aymen accepted, con AioiJSy on the Government agreeing to working out a basis of standardisation oper- ating in the same manner to the various graces as in the case of the grades for which a settlement has been reacted. The Govemmen declined this, but propoJfe arbitration, and under- took to agree that there should be no, intimidation 'of the strikers. This was the proposal the N. U.R. rejected, and, therefore, the I conference etrminated.
OMINOUS FIGURES.
OMINOUS FIGURES. Economic Loss Through Strike- What has the railvt-al men's strike cost the nation ?-of which they are meHi- bers ? On one section of the community alone a tax of nearly 220,000,000 has been imposed. There are at least 1,000,000 season- ticket holders, and the strike has thrown on them an extra expense- of anything from 4s. to 10s. a week—which repre- sent3 on an average a sum of £ 350,000.. There are even larger issues. More than half the life of this country depends on its export trade. The export trade de- pends on coal. Since the strike began there has been a loss in coal production of 5,000,000 tons, representing a value of about £ 12,500,000.. LOST EXPORTS. The export trade, from the Board of Trads figures for last August, was in a most promising condition. It was valued at L75,000 000. This sum represented the best lifeblood of the country. Dur- ing the strike week it has not been pos- sible to realise a quarter of this sum. In otiia rwords, a week's export trade—on which the country has built its wealth anJ power and nationality—may be con- sidered to have been eliminated, repre- I senting a loss of £ 18,000. Excluding the export of coal, this diminution of supply has cost the country, it is safe to say at least ;C16,500,0 00. I These figures are sufficiently ominous, but it is impossible to regard them as even approximating to the total loss uftered by the community. Production for home consumption has suffered equally. There are individual losses to private concerns there is the standstill at the docks which has pre- vented English shipping from carrying foreign goods, and there is the incal- culable cost of the public services which have been organised to fill the breach left by the idle railways. There is also the increased cost to the community of the carrying of food under State control so that the public shall not starve.

I "WHY STRIKE?" Union Drivers' Pertinent Question. I i I "I There has been a good deal of specula- tion among the railway passengers dur- ing the last few days concerning the men who are driving the trains. Passengers leaving Cardiff have been heard to ex- press the opinion that the men were pen- sioners who had loyally returned to .the I service of the Great Western Railway Company. Although this is the case with many of the drivers, a Western Mail re- porter, who made exhaustive inquiries on Friday, discovered that several drivers were members of the Trade Unions on strike. The driver of a train to Newport in the afternoon was not 6low to give vent to his feelings when asked who were I running the trains now. Sensible people," was his reply. The questioner persisted, and the reply was: I don't kitowwlio the other drivers are, but I'm a regular driver, who is not eo foolish as to strike when the Govern- ment terms are so favourable—we are offered three months or more in which to negotiate."

Industries should economise to the ut- most in the use of coal during the strike. It is highly desirable, in the national in- terest. that some employment should be afforded to the bulk of the population for as long a period as possible. & A team of King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, stationed ot Bridgend, met a team representing the local strikers in an Association match yesterday.

While Mr. Bromley is right in protest- ing that there is pothing approaching formal tr?f!ic on the railways, he wouM ?'rob?hly admit in conndence (says a London correspondent) that the number | of trains running is a disagreeable sur- prise, and that the steady trickle of men back to work is an unpleasant omen. | Approximately it may be said that thMe are now out. of employment at Swan- j sea, consequent on flie strike: Tinplaters, j 3,650; steelworkers and tube workers, 2.500; dock workers, 2,000: spelterworkers. 1.000; copperworkers, 1.000; railwaymen, oao. colliers, 400; and miscellaneous j workers. 2,000. The above figures-13.550 —represent Swansea alone. There were dramatic moments at Downing-street last evening. For in- stance, when Mr. James Sexton came on a mysterious mission, rushed into No. 10, keeping the taxi waiting outside, got Mr. Clynes out of the Cabinet room, hurried him into the cab, and drove away at top speed—no one knew where, save the driver and Mr. Sexton. A concert party from Dunvant pro- ceeded to Carmarthen by motor car. The concert was arranged for 7 o'clock, but owing to trouble with the cor they did not reach the tov.-n until 9 o'clock, when the audience, who had been waiting, had gone home. The car was overhauled, but the party had not gone far on the return journey before the car jibbed again. Eventually the party reached Three Crosses about 3 •Vlnck in the morning.

SOUTH WALES MINERS. Defer Decision for Present. South Wales miners (as represented bv 1 the executive committee of the Federa- tion) met at Cardiff yesterday, to consider their policy in regard to the railway stride R-eporte from some districts asked that general instructions should be issued to the miners, while others wished for a conference of the whole coalfield. In view of a meeting of the Miners* Federation of Great Britain next Tuesday all action regarding the strike was post- poned until after that day. With regard to the payment of out-of- work pay, workmen were instructed to await instructions from the Federation of Great Britain, and not to attend for this purpose either the Labour Exchanges or the colliery offices.
