WORKERS PLAN
STERN FIGHT
Naturalization Battle Will
Not Stop at Mines,
Say Officials.

London, Oct. 10.-From one labor
difficulty the government passes to
another. No sooner was the railway
mems wage crisis surnounted or de-
ferred than the miners demand for
the naturalization Of mines confronts
the cabinet. -.
) Premier Lloyd George informed a
deputation yesterday that the gov
ernment was unable to adopt the
proposals made by the coal commits
sion headed by Sir-John Sankey, and
the miners are greatly dissatisfied.
Frank Hodges, secretary of the min
ers' federation, said after the pre-
mier's statement at yesterdays con-
ference that "the governments atti-
tude had created very grave situ-
alton"
A feature of the addresses made by
members of the deputation to Mr..
Lloyd George was, according to un-
official reports, a complete absence Of
bluster or violent language. Their
statements were intended to~show by
zation of the mines was entirely in
the interests Of the community and
also that the miners were supported
in their demand by the whole body
of trade unionists throughout the
country. From quoted Statements OF
prominent labor leaders, it is ,appar.

On neither side is there any doub
