GOAL MINING IMPASSE
MR COOK PESSIMISTIC UNION LEADERS' OPINIONS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 27. (Deceived July 28, at 12.25 p.m.) It is persistently reported that the Government has considered the question of a temporary subsidy to the coal industry to tide over the, present difficulties. The Court of Inquiry is said to have made a recommendation to this effect. Mr A. J. Cook, the miners’ secretary, interviewed, was pessimistic, lie expressed the opinion that there was very little hope of a peaceful settlement, as the statesmen seemed to have nothing better to suggest than a compromise by the miners. Mr Stephen Walsh, in a speech at Wigan, characterised the coal owners’ proposals as “ infernal.” Ho said that the miners’ claims were not impossible. It was up to the Government to see that they wore granted.—Reuter.
