This produced peace for a time, and eventually the regulations made under the Emergency Powers Act were con- tinued, in consequence of the coal strike, for another month.
An interrupted holiday and oppressive hent in the House did not improve tempers. The attendance of Conserva- tives was better than that of the Oppo- sition.
Sir William Joyuwa-Hicks, in moving the continuance of the Emergency Re gulations, said that the mining districts on the whole had been quiet and orderly. "In spite of the aggravation which came from you," shouted Mr. George Hardie (Soc., Springburn). "We don't want your tribute," added several miner members when the Home Secretary went on to congratulate "the great mass of the miners for remaining quiet" and heaving their case in the hands of their leaders.

This was typical of the interruptions, which grew in number and rudeness. Mr. Jack Jones, was 3000 bawling so frequently that the Speaker ordered bim to leave the House
He did so with reluctance, and on the way shouted insulta first at the Speaker and then at Conservatives. It's a dirty trick," he cried."

Still Mr. Jones dallied and defied. You are a contemptible lot of cowards," he yelled at the Conservatives, "trying to starve ··men into submission. One miner is worth the whole gang of you." At this the Speaker."named "Mr. Joncs for defying the authority of the Chair.
The Home Secretary immediately moved his suspension, which was carried by 235 to 53, the occupants of the Socialist Front Bench not voting.

An official of the Ministry of Agricul- ture said:
The chief difficulty of the electrical treatment is that it is so costly. Not only is there the great expense of lay. ing mains through the countryside for isolated farms, but an enormous Amount of wire is needed. To stimu late the growth of a crop a network of electric wires has to fixed above the field where the grain is growing.
However, as a result of the Govern ment's cheap electricity scheme and the experiments of the Electro-Culture Committee with low voltages a prac tical scheme of electrifying farms" may be possible in a few years' time.
By further experiments in applying current at different times and in dif ferent ways, the committee hope to in- crease the productivity of plants and grain by a much greater percentage than the present.20 per cent.
In a speech at Blaenavon (Monmouth- hire) on August 15th Mr. Cook said to the police:
Pelicemin, remember your friends the Tories will not be in power much longer. We are having a Labour Govern- ment next. Oh, yes, make no mistake about it. And then we will remember some of them.
That is not a fair speech to make,' said the Home Secretary. If that does not mean the policemen will be dismiss- ed for doing their duty, I don't know the meaning of the English language.
The police," continued the Home Secretary, "are doing their best not to come into conflict with the miners."
Other remarks by Mr. Cook to which the Home Secretary drew attention were those made in his recent Midlands tou:,
but there are one or two speeches made by hon. members of this House to which I wish to call attention.. The hon. men- washer for Leigh (Mr. Tinker, Soc.)" made speech after which disturbances broke out at St. Helens."

Mr. Tinker had no right to dictate to other men who desired to work. He bad denounced so-called blacklegs, and said that the authorities were very much afraid to attack him as a member of Parliament. The hon. member, mented the Home Secretary steraly, has no right to say things which other men are not allowed to say, and to incite other men to intimidation."

There have, he said, been only 61 prosecutions during the last month in the mining areas. Since the regulations came into force on May 1st, 2,066 persons have been prosecuted and 1,372 con victed That did not look, commented the Home Secretary, as if the magistrates were the servants of the Home Office.

Few genuine working miners were concerned in any of the disturbances..
The country was enormously indebted te the moral force of the police. They had done their best to prevent disturb ances, but when they had to face great crowds of people armed with sticks and stones it was essential to have massed
charges.
It was the duty of the Home Secretary to see that the law was obeyed, and that anything illegal-stone-throwing or in- timidation of any kind was stopped vigorously.
At this declaration Conservatives cheered loudly and the Socialists began to get restive again.

Mr. Greenall Warned.
At this point frequent interruptions from Mr. Greenall (Soc., Farnworth) led the Speaker to warn him that unless he kept quiet, he would be ordered to leave the House
The Home Secretary appealed to Mr. Cook not to embitter the situation. He himself had advised the police not to take proceedings" unless absolutely compelled. If, however, the safety men were called out from the pits the Government would take all possible steps in their power to prevent the destruction of the mines and the livelihood of the miners by a stupid act of revenge..
