UNION OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
TWO ALTERNATIVES,
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright,
LONDON, May 6,
At the sitting of iho Court of Inquiry into minors’ wages, Mr A. J. Cook (the miners’ secretary) said that unless the court made some tangible recommendation the inquiry would have been a waste of time. He had arranged to meet the coal owners on May 14. If the men’s proposals were not satisfied there would be only two alternatives—a strike or an appeal to the Government, which had the power to grant their just demands.—Reuter.
LOOKING TO NEXT MAY DAY,
LONDON, May b.
Mr Cook (the miners’ secretary), in a speech at Pontypool, said the miners must undereland that it was no uso talking kindly to the employers. They would only get what they were strong enough to lake. The coal workers must not act alone, but he hoped that next May Day would result in a revolutionary change, in which all the employed will act in unison.—A, and N.Z. Cable.
