We will give here a summary, as brief as possible,

of the events which happened after we went to press last week. On the evening of Thursday, .April 14th, a meeting of over 200 Members of Parliament was held in the House of Commons, and Mx. Hodges, on behalf of the Miners' Federation, responded to an invitation to address them. The result of the meeting was that Mr. Hodges offered to discuss wages with the owners and the Government at once if the larger issues of policy—a National Wages Board and a National Pool—were separated from wages and were considered later. This extremely important fact was instantly conveyed to the Prime Minister, and an informal discussion on the new situation took place at No. 10 Downing Street.
