** FEST CLASS ONLY

The National Amalgamated Furnishing Trades Association, whoar Communistic proposals were severely handled at the recent

Trades Union Congress, will ask the Labour party to declare that the present dong hours and low the wages have been imposed on miners by the superior economic forces of the employers, supported by the Baldwin Government; that 7,04 | Labour party leadership helped to bring about the defeat of the miners, and that the conference shall add to this censure a decision in favour of nationalising mines, minerals, coke ovens, and by-pro ducts without any compensation and with workers' control of the industry. None of the amendments submitted are condemnatory of this mining policy, and Chesterfield adds the introduction of the six hours' day for miners.
