HOPELESSLY DIVIDED
MINEES MAKE NO SUGGESTION. (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) ' LONDON, Ist September. . Evidence accumulates of the miners' differences and the severe struggle within the executive, in .consequence of which the latter, according to the "Daily Herald," is making no recommendation to'tho delegates' conference to be held in London on Thursday. It is stated that Mr. H. Smith com} mands a majority of the executive in favour of a diehard policy. The men will have to frame proposals themselves or carry on .until exhaustion. "Mr. Ramsay MaeDonald, at a meeting of Labour M.P. 'a and miners' leaders, before yesterday's debate, pleaded for something constructive to place beforo the House of Commons, but neither on wages nor on hours could ho extract anything," states the "Daily Telegraph's" Parliamentary correspondent. "The miners were so hopelessly divided that they could only, appeal to Labour M.P.'a to invite tho Government to make propositions for peace. Thus Mr. MaeDonald was helpless."
