Sir Robert Horne of Board of Trade and Workers' Delegation Unable to Agree. London, Sept. 10.—A conference held between Sir Robert Horne, president of the board of trade, and a delegation from the miners’ organization, in an effort to reach a solution of the coal crisis, resulted In what is generally regarded as failure.
