COAL ENQUIRY.
FORECAST OF PENDING REPORT. (Received May 9, 11 p.m.) LONDON, May &. The Daily Herald forecasts that the report of the coal enquiry, to be issued immediately, will uphold the miners’ contention that the minimum wage should he a first charge on the coal industry. The facts revealed are held to justify the miners’ statement that wages are now lower in real value than in 1914. The report will declare that the miners arc entitled to a living wage and, by inference, .accept the view that the only solution of the problem of the industry lies in some form of unification., probably a national pool or nationalisation.—A- and N.Z.O.A.
