London,
May
31st.—Mr.
Lloyd George
~
denied
in
the
House
of Commons
lagt
night
that
he
had
used
any
threat of
’
compulsion
to
the
miners.
In asking
|
Parliament
to
pass
legislation,
he said,
.
he
had
not
even
mentioned
the
term
|
compulsory
arbitraticn
and
it
had
not
l
even
been
used
in
the whole course
of
the
proceedings
by
anyvbody.
‘How it
came
to
be
reported,
I dont know, but
there
was
something
said
abcut
what
wowld
happen
if the
owners
refused
to
carry
out certain
terms.
1said
the Govt.
would
have
to
consider
what
steps
it
should
take
to
compel
them
to do
so and
I
do
not
know
why
somebody
thought
that compulsory arbitration’’.

published
sand
was
already
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
harm
in the mining districts.
The
Premier’s
statement
is
taken
here
|
as
an
attempt
to
ward off the antagon-
ism
to
any fproposal
for a settlement
of
the dispute that the mere hint of compui-
sion is
sure
to
arouse
in the mining dis-
tricts.
