COAL CRISIS.
DEBATE ON THE EIGHT-HOURS BILL
NO OTHER WAY!
Rugby, June 28.
Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland, Minis tor of Labour; moved in the House of Commons the second, rending of the Bill for an Eight Hours Day in the Mines.
He said the Bill was quite short and simple. For a period of five years it would enable an extra hour, which was already possible on sixty days of the year to be worked on all other working days as well. It was not a permanent measure. Having regard to the condition of the coal industry, was there any other possible way to avoid the reductions of wages that He said might be acessary? emphatically that the suggestions for nationalisation or unification would not meet the situation. There were some people who thought, or affected to think, that what the Government were doing Was the first move, in the direction of a general attack upon hours and wages. "I say again. on behalf of the Government, as I said recently in public, that there is nothing of the kind attempted or pated. The coal industry was in an exceptional position and excep. tional measures were necessary for the time being.
