THE MINERS’ TASK.
“STRUGGLE TO BITTER END.” EXPECT HOPELESS DEFEAT. EXTREMISTS FIGHTING ALONE. Received April 17, 5.5 p.m. London, April 16. News from the storm centres is awaited with a certain amount of anxiety. It is estimated the Government’s precautionary measures cost the taxpayers • £50,000,000. A Laborite correspondent writes that the miners’ allies’ withdrawal of slipport is recognised on all hands as signifying the dissolution of the Triple Alliance, rebuffing the federation extremists, who are left to shape for themselves a new policy to save the Miners Union from disaster.
The miners’ representatives forecast a continuapipe of the struggle to the bitter end. They expect hopeless defeat, but declare they will only be beaten by starvation. The Government is not relaxing its efforts to settle the strike, and is meanwhile continuing its emergency arrangements and the conservation of food and coal. The coal owners are still in London, hoping for a resumption of negotiations. —Times Service.
