NATIONALISATION. BILL REJECTED.
(Reuter's Service.)
London, May.16. The House of Commons, by 264 votes to 168, has refused the second roading of a Bill, moved by a Labourito, providing for the nationalisation of the mines by purobaso and their transference to a Mining Council to be presided over by a Minister of Mines, but without giving compensation by royalties,
The movor stated that six persons were drawing royalties amounting to over half a million starling yearly, which was more: than 3,500 minors received. '.
The rejection of the Bill was moved by a Conservative, who described it as a rash and disastrous experiment.
The rejection was soconded by a Liboral.
Mr. Shinwell said the Government whole-heartedly accepted the principal of the Bill, though it recognised that the country had not given a mandate for the nationalisation of the mines.
