MEN BEHIND THE COAL CRISIS.

Y... PHILLPOTT, "DAILY EXPRESS

Mr. Robert Smillis is sitting in his little cottage home in Lanarkshire, un well and silent," an inactive spectator of the only big coal fight in which he has not been a participator for many years wondering if he is witnessing the ship wreck of the great organisation which be, more than any other man, built up.
Mr. William Brace no longer brings the wise and moderating influences of nis sage counsel to bear in the cogita tions of the Miners Federation ecu tive. Instead of helping to prevent crisia, as he used to do, he is busy in Government office trying to find a cure. Mr. George Barker has left Russell- It is a moot squars for St. Stephen's point whether his temperamental extrem- ism is calculated to do more harm inside or outside the directing body of the Miners' Federation:
Mr Vernon Hartshorn, a
man who knows more about the financial, wono- mic, and technical intricacies of the coal industry than many of the other miners' leaders put together, is no longer ons

Mr. FRANK Hopers.-By no means a Bolshevik or a Red revolutionary, but a young man of extreme brilliance, with a tendency for exceeding the speed limit which older and more practical men have found it more safe and expedient to observe. Ha kaows precisely where he wants to go, but sometimes it seems that he does not quite realise that the longest way round is often the quickest way of getting there. He has a keen, swift, impatient brain-too keen, too swift, and too impatient to take cognisance of many of the master-of-fact little things that go to make up difficulty. Two or three years ago it was said of him that dar ing what was then thought to be the in- evitable.industrial struggle he was destined to play an increasingly im portant role, and that the height to which he would climb would depend largely on the issue of two fights-the internal battle between the young, force- ful Socialist and the older and more orderly Labour leader, and the external struggle between the two warring sec tions, Both of those fights are now being

Mr. HERBERT SMITH.-In this burly, cloth-capped, gruff-spoken, blunt, and Beverly practical leader of the York- shire miners, and now titular leader of the federation, one finds the extremo opposite of Mr. Hodges. "Our 'Erh" is workhouse boy who became a miner no graces, and would not have them' and still remains one. He has no polish. he could. But he has great personality, will power, obstinacy, and pluck. talks to a Cabinet Minister as he would And-like talk to a mate in the pit. Mr. Hodges in this respect he always knows what he is talking about. He is not troubled with theories, with experi ments. His arguments are the hard facts of his industry and the lives in that industry. His policies are practic alties. He knows when to fight and how He knows also when not to fight. Some of his fellows do not know that. He is fighting now out of loyalty to-them.tit

Mr. JAMES Roasox.-"We must realise that by pushing industry near to bask ruptcy by a strike the great mass of the people may be carried over the preci pice.' Mr. Robson said that six months ago. Would he say it again today } am inclined to think he would. He has another reason for thinking hard and
often about the advisability of Miners'
for he is the treasurer of the Federation, and when funds are low the wiss treasurer walks with caution. This giant of a rian-by stands well over six feet, and seems almost as broad as be is high-has not had much limelight switch- ed on him, but he is one of the powers behind the scenes, staid, solid, and sound. Just at the moment there is not too much use for staidness and solidity in the Minera' Federation, but there be before many days have passed.
Mr. WILLIAM STRAKED.-Añother of the old-fashioned type, spare, grey-bearded. intensely concerned for the welfare of bis man and the well-being of his organ- isation. He, too, has been struggling for peace, but has been temporarily over- whelmed. He is the secretary of the Northumberland Miners Association where funds have thinned almost to vanishing point; as they have in Dur- ham.
Behind the big coal fight there is an- other, ocatest-that between the "tried. and the untried, the old ideas and the Dew--not the new ideas as typified in the comparatively ordered outlook of a man life Mr. Frank Hodges, but" as typified in groups of comparatively un- known men on the executivo, in the delo- gate conferences, and in the coalfields Will the old ones come back "1 think they will.
BY ROCKET TO THE MOON.
Professor Goddard, who some time ago announced his intention to make an attempt to reach the moon' by means of a gigantic rocket early in the coming Lemmer, has been obliged to postpone it for the present owing to lack of financial support and which he has received
The grants in from the Smithsonian Institute, Wash- ington, and other sources are barely sufficient for the completion of the pre- liminary model of the rocket with which he will demonstrate the essential prin- cipal of his invention. It is impossible now to fix a date for the experiment ? he told a Press representative. “hut the pro- gress already made convinces me that the result will be satisfactory,”
