Cook, in the course of a speech, said he was prepared to have a ballot of miners and their wives to see whether Messrs Cook and Smith or Messrs Hodges and Varley should represent them, provided the Government accepted the result and work started on Monday week. “If it goes against me I will resign,” he said. “Anybody who lengthens the struggle is a murderer.
