THE OUTLOOK WHAT WILL THE COAL BOARD DO? LORD ST. ALDWYN AS THE ARBITRATOR. MR SMILLIES SCHEME (By OLtr Mining Correspondent). There being only one week, from last. Thursday, allowed by Mr. Asquith for a settlement of the miners' bonus negotia- tions, to-morrow's meeting of the South Wales Coal Conciliation Board is of vital importance. The decision of the Central Executive of the Miners' Federation to accept the Premier's view that district, and not national, settlements should be at- tempted was promptly acted upon by the South Wales leaders, and the general understanding is that the meetings of the Coal Conciliation Board under the presidency of Lord St. Aldwyn is not to be on the usual lines. It is an emergency meeting, under peculiar circumstances, .nd the calling of Lord St. Aldwyn in means that a final agreement must be come to, and that the condition recently laid dA-n by the coal owners-tbat no war fiiniis can be granted without a withdrawal of the notices to ter- minate the Conciliation Board agree- ment—is thrown overboard. Not a Casting Vote, But a Decision. In the usual course, Lord St. Aldwyn, as independent chairman, would have no power to decide between 20 per cent, and the Premier's prima facie case for an advance in wagg." He would simply have a casting vote for or aga," iist the demand made. Obviously, such a position would be an impossible one in the present instance. JFJis lordship will, therefore, it may be taken for granted, hear the statements on both sides and decide between them what the actual bonus is to be in South Wales. It possible, but not probable, that a settlement may be arrived at without his decision, but the miners' leaders have, for this occasion, initiated arbitration, and. ,hotwithsta.nding protests from individual collieries and one district meeting, that decision will be loyally accepted. This is t'he view taken by responsible leaders, and it is common-sense. visions of King Goal As was shown in Saturday's Leader," there are some leaders who think )1r. Asquith's award—for that is what it amounts to--will prove to be of more value to the South Wales miners, and a lso to some others, than the demand which the London Conference of the Miners' Federa- tion put. forward. There are others, among leaders and rank end file, who go further, and contend tha he interests of the South Wales mirier? wer-i absolutely sacrificed, mis- takenly. no doubt, in the vain pursuit of a Will-o'.+be-Wif,p "—the -nationalisation of the ujin'as during' war-time, and the nationalisation and centralisation of everything eonnedkq wit ht he coal trade! Had Mr. Smillie's pet scheme—struck off his own bat "—succeeded, it would have led to the centralisation of all matters connected with the M.F.G.B., and coal- trade negotiations, in London, and would have constituted Mr. Robert Smilie a veritable King Coal." When the position comes to be dis- passionately considered, it will be seen tftat. such a plan was not. only impossible in war-time, but. inadvisable at any time.
