BRITISH COAL MINERS
THE SIX-HOUR DAY GOAL. Press \ Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 17. (Received Jan. 17, at 8.5 p.m.) Mr Hodges (tho miners’ secretary), replying to ihe coal owners’ demand for an day below ground, argues that seven hours is the maximum which should be worked. Even that is too long in the deeper mines. He declares that when the unemployed men are absorbed and the workmen tan fully work, the 167,000,000 ton output, which the Royal Commission said would justify a six-hour day, will be secured. The miners will then demand that Parliament establish it.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
