ONUS UPON OWNERS
NEWSPAPERS EMPHATIC.
LONDON, sth September.
The Sunday newspaper all agree that now that the Miners' Federation is ready to negotiate, the owners must not be allowed to hinder a settlement out of a desire to impose a "Treaty of Versailles." The "Observer" says: "If the miners accept extended hours the owners must sacrifice their objection to a national agreement. The owners' veto can no more be tolerated than Mr. Cook's futile slogans." The "Sunday Express" points out that the. chief difficulty is that a section of the Cabinet and the Conservative Party support the owners' desire for a district settlement, but it hints that the Government might apply pressure on the owners by a threat to repeal the Eight Hours Act.
