FALLEN

Twin Hills, Oct. 19. Gene Surazen and Dutra, great golfers both, were among the fallen at the end of to-day's play in the U.S. cpen championship.

Al Zimmermann eliminated Vic Ghenzzi two and one and Alvin Krueger defented Sarazen, former title-holder and one-time caddy, by the same margin.

The point is generally made that the miners do not believe the claim is obtainable in the present state of the Industry but the demand is put forward as the best way of focussing attention on the needed reforms, The movement at bottom says the Manchester Guardian, is due to the deep sense of angry frustration.

The position is, says the Times, that "the Governmont would welcome national negotiations and the Secretary of Mines has been and is willing to arrange a meet- ing but cannot do so when colliery owners would decline to attend because they have no Intention of entering into hegotiations making tiny national agreement." The Manchester Guardian thinks owners will "act foolishly if they persiat in flouting Government and public opinion, first on the ques tion of national conciliation machinery for dealing with labour disputes, and secondly on the im- provement of machinery which Parliament set up in their in- terests for the control of output and sales.

OWNERS ILLADVISED

The Financial News writes:-- "In refusing to meet the Federa- tion at the National Conference, the Mining Association did not feel it necessary to state its na sons for objecting to a nationa! wages agreement.

LATER COLF

Twin Hills, Oct. 19. Further golf results came in later.

Tony Manere defeated Clarence Doser, one up, and Levi Lynch of Texas eliminated Arthur Bell, four and two. Pat Circell de- fented Orville Wright, three and two and Horton Smith disposed of Ray Mangrum, one up.

The Times agrees that the colliery owners are certainly not making the best use of the facilities which Parliament has given them to put their industry in order, but warn the miners against the dan- gor of inviting a repetition of the disaster which overtook them-in- 1926, carrying auffering into every miner's home. If their lendere fallow that sorry example, "and demand that the Govern ment shall fight their battle by compelling the owners to make a certain agreement, they will give the threatened strike the tainted character of a political weapon."
