(Received Sept, 27, 8.30 a.m.) rr. LONDON, Sept, 26. ihe Mmers Executive will eonsider the Government' s decision on Monday. It will also confer with the Labor members of the House of Cbmmons. Mr Ramsay MacDo.nald, in an interview with the Daily Herald, said that the Government 'must be 'made pnmarily responsible for the situation the industry is now facing, but the Labor members would continue thoir efforts to secure a settlement. Mr Cook, speaking at the Memorial Hall, wished Mr Baldwin to remember that lie was Prime Minister and not a coal-owner. Tlie- fact that over 300,000 miners seldom brought liome £2 per week was; at the bottom. of the present struggle. The coal-owner, s would have been, beaten long ago but for the protection of the State. It would be many 'weeks yet before the struggle was finished. Starvation might do it, but a settlement thus impo-sed would be broken down as soon as possible. He conciuded that every Labor mernber would he in his plaee in the House of Commons on Mondav and Tuesday and there would be an historic scene.
