of sales.

Features of Bill.

To fix an appointed day on which the
state is to take over all the coal mines
and minerals in these islands.
9. Compensation is to be paid to all who
have bona fide invested money in the
sinking and equipment of mines.
3 No compensation whatever is to be
paid to royalty owners The bill cate
gorically refuses to recognize or acknoWI-
edge their rights.
A. The amount of compensation is to be
calculated on the actual output OF the
shillings per ton being paid in the case OF
mines with an output of more than 1OO.-
OOO tons a year, and OF II shillings per
ton in mines of smaller production.
B. A minister of mines is to be appoint
ed, with commissioners to give him al
vice: three representing the mining as
ISOLATION. three the Diners federation and
three the Trades Union Congress-.
G. The minister of mines Is to be en-
powered to acquire any land compulsor-
liz. to carry on the business of vending
coal to consumers, and-apparently-to
fix the price of coal.
Z. The mines are to be acquired by the
formation of 3 per cent coal mines
stock. the dividends payable out OF the
proceeds of the business.
Received in Jocular Spirit.
Members listened to the proposal in a
somewhat jocular spirit as Mr.. Walsh be-
gan, but his earnestness was unmistaka-
BILE, and he added interesting particulars
as to the available coal supplies Of this
country, which showed that there was a
supply capable of lasting 500 years at the
present rate of production.
The speaker remarked that he was
doubtful whether the bill was in order.
seeing that it seemed to involve some
slight charge on the taxpayers and such
bills are not in order il moved by private
members. But he added that he would
give Mr.. Walsh the benefit of the doubt.
The bill, therefore, was read first time.
No l.eral names appeared among its
hackers. 1t was a labor bill pure and
simple and represents purely labor
view of the lines on which nationalist
ton scheme should be cast. The bill Is
the first of it's kind. and those who are
opposed to schemes of naturalization
now know the sort of bill with which
they are likely to be confronted in the
fnfurp.

LABOR SOCIALIST PLAN

Bill Proposes Naturalization of AL
Coal Mines and Minerals.
First of Kind.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, July 20. 1913.
One Of the most interesting events in
parliament during the present session has
been the Introduction from the labor
benches of a bill for the naturalization
of all coal mines and minerals.
This has always been part of the labor
socialist program. but until now the
party has never condescended to work
out a plan. That deficiency has been
made good, and Stephen Walsh has mov-
ed the first reading Of the bill.
The member for Ince is the most indie
pendent Of the labor members. and,
especially since the courageous attitude
which he took up at the time of the Goa!
war, he has always been listened to with
great respect by the house OF commons as
a man of broad views.
Briefly stated. the scheme is this:
