BRITAIN'S LABOUR PROBLEMS.
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE'
PENDING.
Nationalisation »and direct action at issue. Received Sept. i, 0.35 p.m. -- LONDON, Sept. 1. There will be an important. Labour conference during the next few days. The Miners' Executive meets tomorrow. The principal subject will be the Government's refusal to nationalise the mines. The Federation itself meets on Wednesday to receive the executive's recommendation. There is no considerable diversity of opinion in the Federation as regards nationalisation. The crucial question will be the method of achieving a reversal of the Government's policy. Advocates of direct action are at present somewhat discredited. A number of responsible leaders, with a strong following oppose direct action in any shape or form. Responsibility may be transferred to the Triple Alliance conference on Thursday, at which natioiiaugatiofl and direct action will be the principal topics, but all decisions of the miners or the Triple Alliance are overclouded by the imminence of the annual trade union congress at Glasgow on the Bth inst.
