MR. HODGES’ RESIGNATION
TOO MUCH CALL ON TIME. By Telegraph—Presa Assn.—Copyright. Received May 31, 10 p.m. London, May 30. Mr. Frank Hodges, interviewed, said a sub-committee consisting of M. Djardin (Belgium), Herr Husemann (Germany),'and Mr. W. P. Richardson (England), bad inquired whether his acceptance of the post on the Electricity Board was incompatible with his duties as secretary of the Miners’ Federation. M. Djardin and Herr Husemann had reported there was no incompatibility, but Mr. Richardson disagreed. Nevertheless Mr. Hodges decided to resign, owing to his desire to regain his unfettered* liberty. The service of his fellowmen was making increased calls on his time, especially full collaboration in the task of enabling the British miners to gain their share of the advantages of the higher technique of applied science and sound industrial organisation.
