i BRI'I'AIN’S INDUSTRIAL CRISIS. l POLICY OF DIRECT ACTION l DISCOUNTED_ CONSTITUTIONAL MEHODS i FAVOURED. I ~.-.... E Received 9.30 a.m_ ‘ ' LoN'noN, Sept. 3. i The general impression of the ‘miners is that the Executive’s. recommendations- are a first and decisive move in the direction of constitutional action, land as the Executive contains some l leading exponents of direct action, it is, [unlikely that the delegates to the con}fcrence today will prove any more lintransigeant_ It is felt that the idanger of an industrial upheaval will » diminish as the question moves forward l to the full. Trades Union Congress, and ‘the immediate danger, which was also. the gr-eatost, seems to have been averted. The example set is not likely to be lost on the transporters, who ‘ also include an influential element, but latterly appeared, on the whole. less extreme than tlle miners. Ostensibly the Executive’s -reconrmendation only deprecates—industl'ial action “at the present stage,” but it is conSider.:.i that if the present stage can be safely passed ;mo;r'c mlai-ure reflcejion will lessen ‘the perils of industrial and 00.11mcrcial chaos. It is also believed that allusions to the fullest and most effectite action are lstufdiously non.«'committul, because the extreme spirits are either convinced that direct action is discredite] among the rank and file, or see, in constitutional procedure better prospects of success in the wider sphere than mines. It has been suggested in Trade Union circles that the King should be invited to -attend the Glasgow Congress in order to urge the paramount importance of continuous and increased production. .

i SMILLIE ‘AND LLO-YD GEORGE. [THE CAPITALISTS’ MOUTHPIECE. ! ‘V . . ’ Received-11.35 a.m. : I ‘- ' M 1; Robert ‘Smillie, presiding at the Miners’ Federation»: Conference said the Government was anxious ;by conjuring tricks to divert people,_’s attenition from the Sankey Commission’s: revelations. Mr Lloyd George, in opposing . nationalisatio':, was the capita.iistS' mouthpiece, but the Pi‘emiel"S duty was to deal with principles, not with details. Mr Smillie concluded by insisting that the Government should carry out the majority report. Mr Brace, in moving the exeeutive’s resolution, contended that nationalisation was the one scheme to hold the field. He added: “I am a moderate 'man; I have not yet declared I would not agree to direct action. It all depends upon circumstances, but I would say to the Government, why tempt biz organisations like this to ta"k"e direct action,”
