PETTISH AITXERS. TWO TYPES OE LEADERS. I.OXDOX. August 20. A piquant correspondence is published in the •• Morning Post ” between Mr Cook, the miners’ leader and Mr Spencer, the Commoner leader of the Xottinglmm miners. Mr Cook writes regretting “you were denied the opportunity of personally attacking me at the Miners’ Conference. Mr Cook invites Mr Spencer to do so at a honour meeting at Mansfield which - i Cook addresses on Sunday. Mr Spencer, replying, says: “A our invitation shows how utterly unfit you are to lead a great federation. Tour first consideration is not lor the members. hut the gratification ofyour own ambitious egotism. Many of our best trade unionists are disgusted by some of vour teachings. Your revolutionary utterances make for neither unity nor .success. T will have nothing to do with leadiim men in open revolution which would only lead to defeat and disaster.”
