m COOK'S COMMENTS
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
LONDON, August 14, (Received August 15, at 11.40 a.m.) Mr A. J. Cook (the miners’ leader) to-day rcceired a black-edged envelope containing a British Fascisti pamphlet entitled ‘ Commission Unmasked.’ Inside the envelope were the words;.— We are ready for yon and your dupes—swift, sudden, sure. We long for the dav to cleanse the country of such blackmailers, and we are now 500,000 strong. This is the first of three warnings.
Air Cook, commenting on the pamphlet, suggested it was time that the British Government took action against persons threatening the leaders of the trade union movement and British citizens. He said that he was British, and no threats would deter him from doing his duty. The open encouragement of such threats would only lead to the formation of similar work-ing-class organisations, which would result iu a serious conflict and perhaps in civil war.—Reuicr.
