BRITISH MINERS' PLANS
RUGBY, Jan. 12. British miners are to lay before Major Lloyd' George, Minister of Fuel and Power, their own plans for dealing with post-war problems. Mr W. Lawther, president of the Miners' Federation, said that their document will include a survey of post-war requirements in relation to coal production and manpower. He said the federation realised that the future of Britain depended an coal as an important export commodity. The theory of cheap coal always meant in the past cheap miners, and it was the rock on which the industry perished, and led to dire results in' nre-war 'years., "We shall also consider the question of international post-war organisation in relation to the allocation of markets and the organising of them.'
