NATIONAL CONTROL URGED.
PROFITS REGULATED.
(Press Assn. —Reed. 8.20 p.m.)
LONDON, July 20
The "Manchester Guardian" suggests the national control of all collieries, or of the South Wales field only, which would terminate automatically after the war. The owners meanwhile would enjoy their incomes based on the average profits of prosperous years preceding the war. They could also receive their salaries if they managed their own pits. The workmen then would accept compulsion as public servants, knowing that' the profits would be going to the country. It was impossible to treat a man who was working for a private employer as a transgressor of public law when he withehld his labour.
