BRITISH COAL TRIBUNAL.
TO BE ABSOLUTELY INDEPENDENT. GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS PERSONNEL. (Received This Day, 9.5 a.in.) LONDON, August 14. The Daily Chronicle’s political correspondent states Cabinet has decided that no one directly interested in the mining industry, whether miner or owner, shall serve on the commission of inquiry. Cabinet has considered a preliminary list of names, but the final choice has been left to Mr Baldwin. There will probably be only five or seven commissioners, the chief consideration being a desire to avoid what happened in the case of the Sankey Commission, when there were five separate reports. The terms of reference, contained in thirty words, are loose enough. to permit the widest possible inquiry, including the nationalisation, distribution and sale of by-products as well as the effect of the price of steel industries.
