PULLING THE STRINGS
MINERS’ COMMUNIST' LEADER LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE Rec. 10.30 p.m. LONDON, May 26. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Margate, says that Mr Arthur Horner, general secretary of the National Union of Mine Workers, though barred as a Communist from participation in the Labour Party conference, nevertheless, will play a big part behind the scenes. He launched the Communist Party’s economic policy from his hotel bedroom. Mr Horner, for reasons perplexing to many delegates, persuaded the 82 miners’ delegates to the conference to support the plan which the Socialist leaders proposed for a great Labour publicity campaign and also to support Mr Bevin’s foreign policy—though not without qualification. The correspondent says he learns that Mr Horner soon will be speaking on the same platform as Cabinet Ministers at miners’ demonstrations.
