FRIDAY, AUGUST

since that fateful May 1st, there has been a struggle between the owners and the men, not any one sida putting forward proposals on which the other has been prepared to re-opon negotiations. The miners, by accepting the Bishops' proposals (as they most likely will). have adbandoned their cry of "not one penny off" and will leave the question of wages to an Arbitration Board if the Government will sub- sidise the industry during the sit ting of that Board. But the Government now saya: "No, this dispute must be settled between yourselves and we can help no fur- ther," and the House of Commons'!

The attitude of the Govern- ment, judging from the speech made by Colonel Lane Fox, the Mines Minister, is that the dispute must be settled directly between the owners and the men and that the Government can do nothing to help "No settlement can come which does not face the economic facts," says that official, but the vitally important point is that there ill-timed observations made by must be an interim of negotiation Mr. Mellon and Senator Borah. and adjustment before that econo.
