BRITISH INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.

TROUBLE IN THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

MINERS AND INCOME TAX

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

London, Nov. 20

The "Daily Express" states that serious differences have arisen in the Lfl>bour Triple Alliance. The meeting of the three executives to-morrow is expected to he stormy. The miners and transporters complain that the railway m>hi rendered the direct action ■weapon useless and wrecked their nationalisation plans. The chief quarrel 33 between Mr Thomas and Mr Williams, and arises over the latter's pul.iJic condemnation of the railway strike.

The council of the South Wales Miners' Federation advise the men to vote against a strike on account of income tax, pointing out that there is no possibility of success, as the miners are alone, in the agitation, and a strike, would only result in great depletion of funds.
