DUKE OF NORTH-

UMBERLAND ON

MR SMILLIE

Speaking at the annual con- ference of the Northumberland Unionist Association at Whitley Bay recently, the Duke of North- umberland. referring to the labour situation, said the Trade Union Congress had shown that al- though the extremist section had lost influence they were still a very real danger and must be fought to a finish. Their aims were not reform, but revolution, not Government but Bolshevisın. "I have during the past few months," he said, "endeavoured to expose the aims of perhaps the most dangerous of the extremists' organisation the executive of the Miners' Federation, as represent- ed by their president. Mr. Smillie. I should like to point out that I have not and never have bad the slightest desire to discredit. Mr. Smillie or his Executive if they will play the game and not con- tinue running false colours, bu so long as their President refuses to abjure his revolutionary and ant-national aims, and yet continues to pose as being solely concerned in the welfare of the mining industry, it is necessary to expose him. So far from wish ing to do him any harm I hare implored him to take the caly course which can restore his re- putation and gain him the respect of all right, thinking me. His refusal to adopt it has now, as you will see, landed him ia sa' impossible position, and he now stands convicted out of his own mouth of disloyal and seditious conduct.

You will perhaps have noticed that finding it necessary to keep up appearances before the recent Conference of Representatives of the Triple Alliance he has issued another so-called "challenge" to

This consists of touching appeul to my sense of chivalry to prove or withdraw an alleged statement made by me at Liverpool. on July 24 that his executive were influenced by.

July 16 I alluded again to his disloyal, seditious, and unpatrio- tic conduct during the war and urged the Government to have no dealings with him in con- sequence. On this occasion he dis played the most intense indigna tion as such charges being made urder privilege in Parliament and challenged me to repeat them' in rublic. I did so on July 24 at Liverpool. He then made speech in Durham, in which he said that he had not yet read my charges, but intended to find out exactly what they were. Six weeks later, as I have already said, he asserts that he knows nothing about them. He thus: asks

believe that a man who felt himself deeply wronged by another and chal- lenged that other to repeat his charges publicly actually did not take the trouble to find out what answer had been given to his challenge, although that answer bad been fully reported in practic- ally every leading paper, and Mr. Smillie had himself referred tö the charges in various speeches.

It is a plain state- ment of face, and anybody who construes it Bs a charge of: collusion with the Bolsheviks on the part of the Executive of the Federation either does. sol with the express object of mis- representing its meaning, or he has a guilty conscience. The man who professes to stand aghast at the mere idea of collusion with the Bolsheviks was only very short time ago working for the establishment of Soviet government in this country.

"I have done my utmost to prevent Mr. Smillie from dis- crediting himself in the eyes of his countrymen, and I am willing to do him one more service. It is à piece of advice. Let him clear out at once and resign the pro- sidency of the Miners' Federation. I assure him this is the sole means now left to him of avoiding the utter contempt of all honest (and right-thinking men.”
