Coal Miners to
 Educate Public On Naturalization

London, Jan. 27.-British coal min CTS are entering upon a nationwide campaign to "educate" the public in the school of naturalization. They are backed by the entire trade union movement. An attempt will be made to show that state ownership and cooperative management of mines would benefit the miner, the consum- CT and the public treasury.
 This propaganda is to be develop ed with such intensity as to force the government to give definite "yes" or mo" answer to the ques- tion. Then it will depend upon the tenacity with which the two sides by their guns as to whether a general election will be fought out with na- tionalizatiop as the issue.
 Aside from the dispute between railway men and the government over wages, prospects of industrial peace in Great Britain are regarded by the government and the trade unionists as brighter than at any time since the conclusion of the war.
