MINERS' PAY.
ADVICE TO ACCEPT OFFER. TWO DISTRICTS URGE REJECTION.; By Telegraph.—Preaa Asaa.—Copyright, Received Nov. 1, 7,40 p.ni. London, Oct. 31. Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P. (the railwaymen's leader), speaking at Islington, made an earnest plea for the acceptance of the coal settlement. He said there were reports from two districts urging rejection.
"I believe the future of democracy k involved in the matter," he added. "If the leaders are to be strengthened in their negotiations they must have the full confidence of the men. When dealing wi.. the other side there is too much glib use of the phrase 'selling the men,* which is usually a phrase of humbug. If the leaders are useless let the men elect a new set."
Mr. Thomas bad no hesitation in saying that he would advise the leaders that the terms ought to be accepted this time.—> 18.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
