MINERS "BADLY LET DOWN" M.r/S SEVERE CRITICISM. Mr Prank Varley, M.P., a member of the Miners* Executive, recently told a meeting of Notts miners at Mansfield that the colliers had been badly let down by the T.U.C. in suddenly ending the general strike. The T.U.C. had no guarantee that the new proposals would be accepted, while in the background were the miners' leaders with a mandate from a million men not to accept lower wages or increased hours. ''ABJECT SURRENDER" In his wildest dreams he never imagined that the calling-off of the general strike would have assumed such an abject surrender. There must be a reckoning day. Individual unions had come to certain arrangements among themselves, but .he would have nothing to do with such agreements for the miners.
