LABOUR AND CAPITAL.
Workmen Share in industrial Earnings. London, October 9. A meeting of the Miners’ Federation at Southport has adopted a resolution of sympathy with the Amalgamated Railway Servants’ Association. Mr Enoch Edwards, member for Hanley in the House of Commons, who is presiding, declared that the employers had learned that combination had not mined capital. The federation had no quarrel with capital ; it only objected to its retention in the hands of too few persons. He added that the workmen must have some say regarding whai. was to be their share, and it was too late in the day to attempt to burk the matter by the employers refusing to meet the men. The Miners’ Federation unanimously recommended the introduction of a Bill providing for nationalisation of mines, and also unanimously favoured the abolition of the House of Lords. A conference of members of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants at Middlesboro’ unanimously supported the demand for recognition of the society by the railway companies.
