Lord Robert Cecil also expressed obli'

ever, was strongly opposed to national

After further debate Mr.. Bonar Law
the Government spokesman, announced
that " the miners leaders would give ar
undertaking that there should be nc
stoppages or strikes In the meantime
the Government would accept Mr. Braces
suggestion OF n committee Of inquiry and
postpone the six shillinss increase fol
three months.
Mr.. Brace replied that he was not In
a position to give such an undertaking
but would submit the suggestion to the
miners conference on Thursday ant
RECOMMEND its acceptance.
Bonar Law thereupon agreed &c
defer enforcement OF the increase from
July 16 to July 81, in order to give time
for consideration OF the matter.

most important contribution to the de-

member for the Abertillery Division OF
Monmouthshire and president of the

characterizing Sir Eric's speech as de-
pressing and In itself the strongest con-
domination OF the Governments policy
reproached the Government for failure to

Declaring that the miners were pre-
pared to give the Government every az

that the Government take steps TO give

He said that the miners would not
welcome labor saving machinery merely
