A proposal to abolish all district unions in the British coalfields, and to form one big organisation which would become the largest trade unton In the world, will be the principal issue before the annual conference of the Mineworkers' Federation, which opens here to-morrow.
Kent will propose that the execu- tives prepare as soon as possible a scheme for the formation of one na- |tional organisation for all minework- ers and then call a special national conference to put it into effect.

One of the main dimeulties that national leaders have had to contend with in the past is that even when national decisions are taken they have no guarantee that the district 'organisations will abide by them.
