COAL STRIKE.
(Continued From Page 1.j
A SUBSIDY WANTED.
Sir Robert Horre said that he met. the miners' representatives: Last week and offered to help them as regards reconsideration of rates by the owners. He was immédiately told that it was useless for him to see the owners because the situation could only be solved by the Government grant- ing a subsidy. Therefore, the House would understafd that the present controversy was not about rates but whether the country should assist the coal trade with a subsidy which might run to tens of millions in a single year. Such a subsidy could only be paid by raxes. The greatest taxpayers were the great industries which were already suffering the direst tribulation. Were they going to tax these industries in order to subsidise an industry which had better chances? (Labour, interruptions and Ministerial counter cheers.)
"OVER OUR DEAD BODIES."
Sir Robert Horne declared that the only possible basis for discussion now was on the wages systems of each district. (Some Laboir Str. Robert cries of "Never!" and "Over our dead bodies!) Horne hoped that before mary days he would see a change in the He considered the Labour members' attitude in this connection.
suggestion to exterd Government control for month impracticable ard repudiated the suggestion that this was the first attack on wages. again qacting the case of South Yorkshire. He concluded by dwelling o the country's difficult industrial position. Every trade was suffering alike. He urged the miners to bear their difficulties like the others and await mere prosperous times. He tered that ite miters, profiting by thei oppertunities for reflection since the stoppage, were now reader to negotiate than last week.
FURTHER CONTROL URGED.
Mr. Clypes inquired why the date of the control of coal had suddenly been brought forward to March 31 when it was on the Statete Boos that control would continue to August 31. Negotiations were progressing when suddenly something occurred breaking them down. The miners did not reject the possibility of a diminution of wages but it would have been on a uniform percentage. New plans for the rescue of mining must be devised. The owners' proposals, which were apparently supported by the Goverment, would throw back the indestry to pre-war conditions. (Labour cries of "worse.") Ee urged that control be continued for three portas, and reminded the Premier that it was be who first began to tell the workmen to be audacious and united so as to be able to hold what they had won by the war.
THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.
Mr. J. Stanley Holmes urged the formation of a committee of three business men and three non-mining Labour leaders, with a view to fading means to reopen negotiations.
THE CHINA MAIL.
THE BLUE FUNNEL LINE
Mr. Asquith said that he was convinced that the miners had not! embarked on this struggle from motives of mere passion, yet he almost completely agreed with Sir Robert Horne's remarks as regards the cessation of control and the nascial and industrial impossibility of calling on the Iaxpayer to maintain solvent
industry 207 particular by subsidy. The root of the trouble lay in distinguishing between the regulating of wages on a national.or a district basis. He urged that further exploration of these principles might prove that the differences were not Enbridgeable with the evolution of a scheme involving gradual reduction of wages. Meanwhile as a preliminary to such a discussion the life of the mines must be preserved.

**PREFER TO STARVE TO DEATH THAN WORK TO DEATH.”
In the House of Commons, Mr. Thomas said that the miners were being offered a wage equivalent to the pre-war 18s a week. Every decent employee should rebel against such a wage. He deplored the talk of a fight to a finish and said that at the moment the odds overwhelmingly favoured the dispate spreading. The wages offered the miners justified them in saving We prefer to starve to death than to work to death," and this view would be backed by organised labour. “We will support a workman refusing a starvation wage, he declared.

Mr. Lloyd George declared that there had been a demand for decontrol of all industries and that subsidising any "great industry, was completely in- defensible. Such a subsidy would be specially indefensible having regard to Hofhow and Haiphong the heavy taxation and the condition of the Exchequer; and the continuation
of control to August 31 would have meant a national loss of a hundred millions,
the burden of which no Government would be justified" is placing upon the Shanghai and North China. over-burdened taxpayer in order to pay wages or to pay mining profits. There was no reason to suppose that a month's extension of control would have avoided the stoppage.
SUÉSIDY AND CONTROL BOTH IMPOSSIBLE.
The Government was ready to enter into fresh discussions with a view to settlement of two conditions. Firstly, it could not recommend to Parlia ment the maintenance of an industry out of general taxation; and secondly; it was impossible to resume control. Outside these two limitations there was a very wile field for discussion. The Government would be willing to do any thing possible to promote a good understanding between the owners and the minets, but if there were such negotiations the Miners' Federation and the minors should give every facility and assistance to prevent the pits-being destroyed during the discussions, also to save any dumb animals remaining below. He hoped that the miners' leaders and the owners would meet im- nediately to consider a permanent settlement and prevent a repetition of disputes so damaging and such a menace to the industry of the whole country.
The debate was adjoumed until to-morrow, -
