COAL DIFFICULTIES IN BRITAIN
MR SHINWELL BLAMES MINE MANAGERS (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, December 12. The Secretary of State for War (Mr E. Shinwell) said in a speech that what was really wrong with the coal mining industry, apart from the longterm job of getting the pits into proper condition, was that not even now were relations between every mine manager and his men of the happiest. Some mine managers could not escape from the old methods. Yet it must be firmly stated, said Mr Shinwell, that whatever the difficulties the nation must get coal, particularly for export, if it was to survive. He was certain that most coal miners realised that their responsibility was greater than that of any other workmen in Britain.
