MINERS' LEADER RESIGNS.
EXTREMISTS DENOUNCED. ATTEMPT TO RUIN INDUSTRY. AN INSANE POLICY. By Telegraph—Press Association Copyright. (Received 12 30 a,m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. 6. Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, Labour M.P. for Ogmore, has definitely resigned his membership of the Miners' Federation as a protest against innuendoes that he "sold the men." In a letter to the newspapers he declared that a group of " gingerites " had been formed in the South Wales Federation who were deliberately developing a policy of cutting down the output and organising strike after strike in order to ruin the industry, and were denouncing everyone who was not prepared to assist the promotion of this insane policy.
