The Curse of Uncertainty,

As a result of strikes and dis- agrementa between the miners and the owners," explained Lord Lon- donderry, the ingenuity of people has been stimulated into finding substitutes for coal. These troubles have also frightened the foreign Luver. They have raade him feel in many instances that it was better to have a comparatively certain supply of his own inferior coal that to run the chance of depending conditions in the industry for get ting our better British goal.

Closing Down?

mén who work under ground are on piece work, and even then they get a minimum wage, Thus, they make good pay, up to one pound daily. My hit returns show that the average return is 118. per man per day, in addition to the free house and free on which I supply them with. '

**The principle, which is a hard- ship that I am quite willing to admit is: Suppose you have to lay your pit idle for lack of trade, Then your men get nothing to live on except unemployment benefit. If they miss two days work out of the week, then they are simply, short of two days pay. That is a hardship which I would be glad to see re- medied.

The Government will have to knock off one half hour, giving the minere a seven and a half hours day. They are pledged to do it. This measure is bound to have an adverse economic effect upon the coal industry as a whole. But if on top of that the miners resist at ontempts to counteract the economic

Often the miners claim that the ioni-owners refuse to meet them in conference to discuss a solution of the difficulties confronting the in- dustry. There are several reasons why this is true. For one thing conditions in the coal trade here are
