'‘cannot fight the railway

Nir. Kobert Smiliie,
leader
of
the Miners’ Union, speaking
at

last
night, said
that because
of
the
fact
that the miners
and railways
arve
so

related,
ninety
percent
of
the

This
would
auto-
matically bring about

condiiions,
withou:
an aciual strike order being
sent
out.
Mr.
Smillie
advised
members
of
the

to
