6s. ON COAL. I i Mr. Hodges on the I :=: Position. I DEMAND FOR A BILL I The miners' conference at Keswick on Thursday discussed the reply to the Government's offer of the 6s. increase. Cheers greeted the suggestion of Mr. Frank Hodges that the reply should t-ake the line of telling the Government the increase is unnecessary. and making the counter-proposal that a Bill should be introduced immediately to remedy what the Commission described to be the disease of the industry. The Federation could inform the Government that they were prepa-red to co-operate to the fullest ex- tent to put such economies as the Oom- mission proposed into effect, and pass such recommendation into law. The men were not prepared much longer to increase out- put in an industry in which they had no determining voice.

This case was again an outcome of the recent Cardiff racial riots. The jury found prisoner not guilty of the charge of shooting and guilty of the charge of assaulting the police constable. The Judge said he was satisfied that Prisoner was being pursued by a hostile crowd, and was without danger in danger of his life. The circumstances were ex- ceptional, and as prisoner had already Seen in custody for over a month and had said his Lordship, been sufficiently Punished, justice would be met in this < £ ise by sentencing him to four days' im- prisonment, which meant he would be Released that day. c His Lordship added that P.C. Gregory Kad acted with considerable tact, as in- wed the Cardiff police had acted during racial riots.

FINED £ 40,000.; I Berlin and Deathi1 of Frenchman. ALLIES BACK UP I FOCH. Herr von Lersner, president of the German Delegation at Versailles, has (says the Times Faris correspondent) written a letter, dated July 14th, to M Clemenceau apologising for the graver incident in Berlin in which a French soldier was killed in the street. He announces in his letter that an inquirv I .bas been opened by the police. There is no tendency here to c-xag- there is a unanimous feeling that the there is a unanimous feeling that tin, I matter must be dealt with in a firm I spirit if repetition of such occurrences is i to be prevented. Marshal Foch has de-I m?hded through his representative in I Berlin an indemnity of 100,000 francs ( £ 4,000) in gold for the victim's family; further, that the city of Berlin pay a fine of 1,000,000 francs ( £ 40,000) in gold, and that the victim be given a eolemn funeral. It is understood that the Allies have pormised to back' up France in her > demand for exemplary reparation.

I The person who committed this mur- der has not yet been discovered. The + interment will probably not take place in Berlin. The French Military Mission- here has sent a request to Paris that it may send the body there. t

I ALIENS1 NAMES. Interesting Points Before Committee. I HOUSE OF COMMONS, Thursday. The Aliens' Restriction Bill was ai-ain considered by Standing Committee A. to- day, Mr. Nicholson presiding. An amendment by Commander Ken- worthy that no alien who is married to a British-born subject shall be deported on the sole ground of nationality \v;ts with- drawn after the Home Secretary had pressed for a free hand. Col. Sir Henry Morris then proposed a new clause precluding any alien from be. coming a member of Parliament or mem- her of H.M. Government m the United Kingdom. Portions of the new clause were ruled out of order, and the remainder were with- drawn on the Home Secretary agreeing to accept a following amendment. This was proposed by Sir John Butcher, as follows: After passing this Act no alien shall be appointed to any offioe in the Civil Service of the United Kingdom without the written consent of thn HOID" Secretary, who shall report to Parliament the names of such aliens and the special reasons for their appointment. Further, that no alien be permitted, with the writ- fen consent of the Home Secretary, to sit r any Civil Service examination." Tfois clause wa$addNl t9- the Bill. A further new clause, proposed by the •Home Secretary, carried out the pledge i- .? by Sir Hamar Greenwood re?ardin? t restriction on aliens ch&Rging their names. There were various exemptions. but generally no alien is permitted to take and use a name other than that by which he was known on August 4th, 1914. This clause was agreed to. So also was a new sub-section, which provided that sny alien, securing exemption should not be permitted to adopt any name at hap- hazard, but be confined, as far as possible, to the English equivalent of his own name. Another sub-section fixed the V" to be paid by paid by aliens on ehanye of name at ten guineas, with power to the Home Secretary to remit the whole or part in specie coses. <
