KEEVES) (5TAKF CCRRCSPONDt NT I. H. S"-R'.ICC LONl.MjN, April 7. --All negotiations between the striking miners repres-m-ta jives ami the governments were broken off after a conference at No. 10 Downing street, today. Premier Lloyd George was unable to obtain from the executive committee of the miners.' pmon the guarantee that, pending joint negotiations between the miners, mine owners and the government the miners would send the pumping crews back to the mines to prevent further Hooding. Upon that guarantee the mine owners had conditioned their acceptance of the proposition to resumes negotiations. At this cabling a deadlock exists. Everything: now depends, upon the aci. n of the triple alianco which yesterday postponed its final decision on a general strike. It is feared the transport worker and railway men will now go ahead with their threatened sy mpaIhetie walk-out. The National calamity -which had been believed averted by the PTlme Minister's eleventh hour move yesterday, now looms with even moru menacing rcality beiauso all avenues toward even temporary conciliation appear blocked. Riots a.nd disorders continue coal fields and the disastrous flooding of the mines, duo to th withdrawal of the pumping- crews and the riotous Interference by sinkers with volunteer pumpers gnc.-i on unabated. Already Die damage from this cause alone mount into many millions. The transport workers' executive committee will hold jui Important meeting at 4 o'clock. Ji.eamvh.ile, according to an announcement by Secretary Williams at noon, it is empowered to undertake i publicity campaign and "fn.turn preparations for every striks eventually in case tho triple alliance general strike is ca'led." All B-nileti held it3 breath while the Miners' spokesman held their conference with the Premier behind closed doors in tho historic Downing street buibiing. Not an Inkling as to what was going cm within, filtered out to the waiting throng. Finally just before 1:10, the Miners' representatives cann "lit looking exceedingly gloomy and refusing to make any statement to th' reverters swarming about them. The story of v. hat had happened during the ill fated conference had to be pieced together bit by bit. Tho Miners had llrst refused categorically- to co. s. nt to jmy guarantee on the mine pumping issue, arguing that even if such an ordi r were given th" nien would Ignore it but that once the mine workers sat down with the miners and the government to talk things over the men might be in the mood to resume pumping. But the owners, through their spokesman, had made the guarante-e on iron-clad condition for a conference. Th u the Miner's representatives told the Premier there was no chance for the pumping guarantee unless wages were negotiated "upon a National scale." This, in turn, was rej- cted by tho Premier The break-up of the negotiations followed shortly afterwurd, with both sides determined to stand pat. Immediately after the miners had left Liovd George summoned the cabinet for an urgent council. Woim n and children hf,e joined the striking miners in their demonstr.at inis a.t the Collieries. today's dispatches from various coal tbdds: show. Crowds of strikers, accompanied by their families arc surrounding the pits in many districts forcing stoppage of the pumping.
