SURPLUS OF MINERS
CAN DOMINIONS TAKE THEM? LORD INCHCAPE’S SUGGESTION SUITABLE IMMIGRANTS By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Sydney Sun Cable.) LONDON, May 23. If a settlement of the coal dispute were accompanied by a scheme under the auspices of the British and Dominion governments, wfiereby a, large number of miners and their families could be assisted to suitable employment in the Dominions, it would prove at least a partial solution of the problem, says Lord Inclicape in an article in the “Sunday Times.” “The coal stoppage will inevitably result in closing down unprofitable mines and the further unemployment of miners, many of whom, able-bodied men accustomed to hard work; skilled in the use of tools, could find new and profitable careers in the Dominions. Well-paid employment is actually waiting them in many districts of New Zealand, while in Australia opportunities are even more diverse.”
