DISPUTE.
HERBERT SMITH RESIGNS PRESIDENCY.
PROCEDURE TROUBLE.
London, Nov. 10.
One of the dominating figures in the trade Union movement, Mr. Herbert Smith has resigned the presidency of the Miners' Federa- tion.
The resignation is the sequel-to the recent events in connexion with the Government's proposals for dealing with the coal situation.
On November 7th. a conference of miners delegates in London, decided to recommend the 'miners to accept the Government's pro- posals. The delegates from York- hire, however, headed by Mr. Her- bert Smith, who presided at the conference, withdrew voting, declaring that they had no mandate for this decision "and taking the view that the proposals should be referred to the districts without a recommendation.

Since the conference, practically every district council has return-' ed an overwhelming majority in favour of the Government oro- posals, but Yorkshire has voted against them
A second delegate conference is

Enquiries in official sources elicit the statement that the situn tion is well in hand and that anxiety as to the ultimate issue of the advance of the Ironsides is felt: casual observation however, suggests otherwise.

Brofessional teams of the Foot- ball League (Third Divisions) enter the competition for the first bime, though the majority of the competitors, non-members of the Football League, are professional or semi-professionals.
The political situation is further complicated by the change of sides for the third time in the past six weeks of the Kwangsi leader, Gett eral Lui Woon-yim.
Mr. Thomas Richards has been selected by the Miners' Executive to act provisionally as the Presi dent of the Federation, pending the annuni conférence.-British Wireless.
