Monday was notable for the personal intervention of -the Prime

Minister• who received the Special Committee of:ALIO...Trades Union Congress. The committee urged Mr. -Baldwin to request the owners to postpone the notices and to withdraw their proposals. They suggested that the miners should be allowed to continue work under the existing Agreement until a new plan had been drawn up. On Tuesday, Mr. Baldwin received a Com- mittee Of the Mining Association and asked them to withdraw the, notices for at least a fortnight. On Tuesday night the Court of Inquiry issued their Report, and it is. not too. much to say that it is likely to mark an epoch. It is impossible after this for the mines to be run in the old way.
