Mr. Saunders, the Secretary of the Notts Coal. Owners' Association states that the latter have told the representatives of the T.U.C. that they are not associating themselves in any way with this proposed ballot, and he adds that this attitude was only to be expected in view of the five years agreement that the employers have with Mr. Spencer's Union
As far as the leaders of that Union are concarned, they have repeatedly declared, as stated in the Morning Post, that the issue at stake is one that cannot be settled by a ballot, so that they also are ignoring the arrangement.
