MINERS' CRISIS.
PERIL OF A STRIKE. MOST DISASTROUS EST HISTORY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn,—Copyright. Received Sept. 20, 5.5 p.m. London, Sept. 19. Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P. (secretary of the 'National Union of Railwaymen), in a speech pleading for industrial peace, suggested that as the Government now possessed all data it could settle the miners' trouble itself. He justified the miners' demands on the ground of the increased cost of living. Mr. Thomas said it would be a crime if a strike occurred. The labor leaders were striving for peace, and they musi be assisted. He appealed to let all help to prevent what might prove the most disastrous and far-reaching struggle in the history of Britain—a struggle that could easily develop into something more than an industrial fight, and shake the Empire to its foundations.—Ans.N.Z.
