LAST RESORT
STOPPAGE OF WORK
THE MINERS' ATTITUDE
EXPRESSED AT CONGRESS. (Received 5.55 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 0. At the Trades' Union Congress Mr Thomas, M.P., made a statement regarding the minors' trouble. He deniea that tho Congress was afraid to raise the issue for fear of the miners' power. The Miners' Federation had raised no objection to the Parliamentary Committee bringing up the question at the Congress for the benefit of the public, who assumed that in some qunrtcrs the miners were especially anxious for a stoppage. "My answer," said Mr Thomas, "is that a stoppage is the last thing we desire. No one realises the consequences of a stoppage more thaTi the miners themselves." * The Parliamentary Committee, lir said, was composed of men who had the conduct of trade disputes and were more concerned in adopting an attitude that might help towards peace rather than to embitter the controversies by amy statement they might make. —Reuter.
