MINERS DISSATISFIED
DEPUTATION WAITS ON MR. BALDWIN.
(KEUTEK'S TELEGRAM.) (Received 15th August, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, 14th August. Officials of the Miners' Federation conferred with Mr. Baldwin in regard to the Coal Commission. It was agreed that an official statement should be issued stating that the deputation fully stated their ;view that the personnel of the_ Commission should include representatives of the miners and tho mine owners.
The Prime Minister, after explaining that the terms of reference would be drawn up to allow the fullest and widest inquiry, stated that the Government was satisfied that in order to secure an impartial and authoritative report the proper policy was to appoint a small, impartial Commission assisted by technical assessors with the intention that the Commission should itself arrange for the interested parties to be represented at the .taking of evidence and have adequate opportunity to examine witnesses. This would give the Court all the possible assistance necessary in the elucidation of the facts.
Ths deputation was dissatisfied with the reply, but expressed iftj intention of participating in the inquiry.
