I them. The owners seem dazed and
helpless. 1t is Bob Smile, the ex-
aminer for the miners. who gets the
applause and the headlines in the pa
pers. No one doubts that the coal
mines will be taAen from private own
ership, and If they are taken from
private ownership thew are to be
turned over-according to the pres
ent plans-to a committee composed
half of actual miners elected by the
miners themselves and half members
of the government.
Coalitions Fall Near.
Now this bill, If it is passed reason
ably soon, will be passed by a coali-
posed of Tories, Liberals, Socialists
and Labor Leaders. But no one tx
poets this coalition government to
stand. This government is sure to
fall and a full-hedged labor govern
ment is expected: it is expected even
in Buckingham Palace where the king
is ready to greet a Labor premier
probably no one worse than Lloyd
George who is said by everyone to be
and go i'm for. the whole labor pro-
gram. al the only way of continuing
Now if the miner from the pit gets
one-half of the control nv law in a
coalition government. he will get a
representation on the government
b0rd also and thereby have a ma
jority even in a coalition government.
But once let a labor government come
in, n the miners will dominate the
whole board. ,And hat industry will
be permanentlv-nnt ~~tionalized,
but c~ommunized! Bolshevised, II
you want the long and ugly word!
And there will be no bloodshed. nc
Red or White terror. The British
constitution will be respected. The
king will keep his head on his two
shoulders. And at 5 o'clock ever,
one will "rest from his loved EN-.
rlov' and have tea with every one
else!
To Take Over Railways.
Another concrete example: TIL.

a. bill providing for a minister o

will provide for the government con
