BRITAIN’S PROBLEMS.
MINING CRISIS. RAIIAVAYMICN- restive, BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, July 19. Mr. J. H. Thomas, speaking at Birmingham, pointed out that two hundred thousand unemployed. miners would probably never be re-engaged in tlie mines owing to oil supplanting coal. He pleaded with the owners and tlie men to confer to avoid a long and bitter struggle. The mining conditions were scandalous, and the owners c-ould not be more provocative if they had been mad men. At Bromley, in the course of a demonstration by locomotive engineers, Mr. Motloek <said: “The capitalist system is crumbling before your eyes. It is in its death throes. The capitalists have ruined Elurope. They are not prepared to pay, but it is necessary to stand firmly against any reduction in wages. Hold out to the laist gasp.”
