HALIFAX. (OP)-A high-level conference to sal vaga the Nova Scotia coal industry ended inconclustvely Friday but Premier Henry I-licks said a drive to capture more of the British market was underway.

The premier issued the only statement in a day that brought three federal cabinet members, union represnta- tives and the Dominion Steel and was billed as a major attempt to solve the marketing dil- emma of the 075,000,000 industry. producing 400.000 tons of call a

That statement was a tip-off that the conference had failed to settle l-B's troubles because Dosco has said all along that it would keep the colliery open if its coal could

be placed.

"Mind you, we may still try to do other things but I am not sure just now what they would be." the

premier said.
