TASTED MONEY.
FUNDS FOR COAL MINERS CONTRIBUTED BY SOVIET. WORKING FOR BRITAIN'S RUIN (Received 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, June 7. The Daily Mall in a leader says: "The funds IYIr A. J. Cook boasts of receiving have not come from the miners of Russia whose wages are 12s 6d weekly. Russian rajlwaymen are paid 30s weakly. It Is preposterous to suppose that such wretchbdly-paid workers provided £370,000 to assist British miners. It is the Soviet which has provided tho money for the purpose of working the political and commercial ruin of Britain. These bloodthirsty ruffians do not care twopence about the fate of tho miners' wives or children; they have already allowed thousands of Russian women and children to starve. Messrs Cook and Smith freely accept the tainted money, forgetting that while the British coalfields are Idle the Russian mines have been developed upwi starvation wages. The Government must stop Russian rmmcy being sent, which is a violation of tho Anglo-Russian treaty."
