CHEAPER COAL
STABLE INDUSTRY FOLLOWS PASSING OF BILL PLANS OF GOVERNMENT RUGBY. Sunday. The President ot the Board of Trade, Mr. W. Graham, in the course o£ a speech at a Durham miners' demonstration yesterday, referred to the passing of the Coal Mines Bill. He said that already in important districts the Government was getting into touch with the wholesale and retail trade and if it continued in office and secured a majority its next legislation would be designed to complete the structure of public ownership and public control and to deal with the wholesale and distributing trades. Labour’s next legislation would do away with a great deal of the redundancy in the intermediary elements and place coal at the disposal of the people and industries on the very best terms consistent with justice and fair play to the mining community. Tho Government was looking forward to the time when it would be able to speak to kindred Governments in Germany and Poland and say unitedly: “No longer do we cut one another's throats.”
In meeting the legitimate needs of the people the Government proposed to make national co-operation international because great industries were no longer in opposition. The Government hoped that time would be found next session for a Bill to nationalise mining royalties.
