THE MINING INDUSTRY.
PASSING OF THE DEPRESSION. KING’S SYMPATHY WITH MINERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London. July 18. Mr. Herbert Smith, presiding at the Miners’ Federation Conference at Black- | pool, expressed the opinion that they would pull through the present depression in 1923, while if the owners conducted the industry better and more unitedly the period of difficulty would he reduced. The federation intended to take a most active part in politics and run at least twenty candidates at the next election. Mr. Potts, a delegate, narrated a conversation he had with the King on the subject of miners’ dwellings. His Majesty said his heart bled when he heard the conditions under which some of the miners lived. Mr. Potts suggested the King might advise the Government to take action, but the King replied that he never interfered with the work of Cabinet.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
