DEFEAT FOR LABOUR

GOVERNMENT?

TORIES MAY WIN ON COAL MINES BILL ON THURSDAY

DELICATE SITUATION

London Yesterday. The Government's position is likely to be threatened on Thura. day, when, following the abortive meetings, of Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. William Graham, the Liberals propose to move amendments to the Coal Bill on the Committee stage, with a view to making the market- fing scheme wholly voluntarily.

Conservatives, meanwhile, are Betively lobbying against the Bill for the third reading of which a three-line Conservative Whip has been issued for Thursday, Op- ponents of the Bill, therefore, are, at present conident that they will do better even than at the second reading, when the Government had a majority of only eight votes.- Reuter.
