LABOUR MANIFESTO
GOVERNMENT AND OWNERS TO
BLAME.
(Reuters Telegram.)
LONDON, 3rd May. On Sunday night the General Council of the Trades' Union Congress issued a manifesto declaring that even now an honourable settlement can be reached, but the Government's demand that the miners' leaders consent in advance of negotiation to a reduction in wages must be withdrawn. The notices also must be withdrawn to allow the negotiations to proceed without the issue being prejudiced. The manifesto concludes: "There is no shadow of reason why the miners should be locked out or the grave decision of a stoppage al-l-wed to take effect. If it does, then tho responsibility will lie with the Government and the owners."
