A lasting settlement is impos-) sible until the constitutional issue is faced; viz., are we to be govern- ed by Parliament or a Soviet acting in the name of the Labour movement?

wages.
Mr. Purcell declared that con- ditions in the coal industry in China and India were shameful.
Mr. Bromley and Mr. Purcell both denounced what they described as the threats made yesterday in regard to what would happen if the Trade Unions sup- ported the miners again
They declared that no threats would prevent them from again supporting their comrades, if it was necessary to secure fair con- ditions.
