MR. SHII.LIE AND THE UPPER HOUSE." Mr. Smillie caused laughter by asking witness whether, having changed his lodgings.

he had tound greater ellctency in what was called the Upper House. Lord Gainford replied that he found freer opportunity of raising subjects and speaking his mind in the Home of Lords than in the House of Commons. Knowing the system, he had often told his colleagues that his department was' not as good as he could make it if he had power to discharge certain officials. Mr. Smillie: You never told the House of Commons that your department was ineffi- Mont: Are not the vast body of Citil Servants of opinion that the only inefficient person is the head of the department 'r Witness: They have expressed that view to me.

(Laughter.) Mr. Smillie. They daren't do that. Mr. Smillie nest put it to witness that there had been a time when the Broonthill Collieries were in low water and the shares were worth practically nothing.

and rug Bested that at that time shareholders would have been glad to hear of nationalisation. Lord Oainford: I have no doubt it the shareholders could have got par value of the shares from the State they would have taken it. Questioned about his statement that the Commissioners on that side of the table had made up their mind, on nationalisation, his Lordship said that they had given him that impreaton by their questions, and also by the character of their interim report. He had never wavered in his opposition to nationalisation. lie did not think the workers were entitled to a voice in management.

either on the theoretical or the commercial side. Mr. Smillie: Your long life in commercialism. your birth and training, may have impressed that on you. Lord Gainford retorted that the fact that the workers would be riaranteed a minimum based epee a standard fixed an industrial council would secure them an advantage in the first instance.

VALUE OF THE MINER'S LIFE, Mr. Smalls asked whether it was satisfactory that the intermits of the workers should be confined to going down sad proclueing Lord Gainford replied that it was the only system that would encored. Mr. They have a far bigger share in the'coacern than the people who put in a few thousand pounds. They have their lives in it.

At how much do you capitalise the life of the cannot do it. Yes you can. Parliament has fixed, on the instance of the capitalist. 11190 as the limit at which the widow can be sompeassted for the death of her husband. Witness replied by pointing out that was done by the representatives of the people in the House of Commons.

Mr. Smillie: It is nice to hide oneself behind the House of Commons. The employing classes moved heaven and earth to get it fixed at that, or a less sum. A list was put in showing the salary paid to firstclass and second-clam certificated managers. The lid, which represented 45 per cent.

of colliery concerns. showed that there were three first-clam certificated managers with salaries up to 1100 at the present time. twelve up to £2lO. 127 up to 1310. 279 up to 1400, 230 up to £5OO, 95 up to lOC and two up to Mr.

Smillie: I will pet it to von that £lOO a year is not an adequate salary for a man holding a first-class it he is a competent man. Witness added that generally speaking a salary of £4Ol to £5OO a year was sufficient payment for the work done by a mine manager. 'PRICE TO THECONSIIMER. Ur. 87tillie suggested it was isecie'sery to protect the domestic consumer from distributors of nial.

Lord Gainford admitted that be 'was curi et the difference between tie colliery the price which the poor had to pay for their coal ut the topes and cities of this country. He war not raffrielltlY poireivent of the circumstances which ied to it to ear that it wee a real evil. Possibly the merchant might have such high to pay that would toyer the greet difference between the pit prise and the consumer's price. Hr. Bailin suggested that no doubt wit-, nein was astonished that while the pit bank price had been lye.

per ton, the price of the coal delivered to the consumer might ss in spite of the tact that the railway carnage would only be between Ss. and tie. a toe. He asked if Lord (Jainford saw any itioei why a municipal authority should not undertake the distribution of coal. Lord Gainford: I have said that the reipinsibility rested upon the local authority and the consumer.

and I think if an exists it should be met by co-operation oul the part of the consumer. I should sooner we established a co-operative eyhtem for charges and distribution than handed over to a large body of municipal officials. Mr. Smillie asked witness if be was as muck afraid of the local authorities as his wile of the I think that departmentaliem comes in even in municipal bodies. though I will not say to the same inelastic extent as in the case of large Government bodies.

SHORTCOMINGS OF CONTROL. Mr. Smillie asked whether Lord Gainford agreed that the coal control had been good. Lord Gainford replied that he did not think that it could be avoided under the circumstances but he thought there were many points in which it might have been improved. He believed in Government regulation and inspection.

but be thought that Government dictation to private firms only increased trouble and dissatisfaction. Mr. Smillie: Do pan think it was nessenary to protect the consumer against falling prices? Lord Gainford thought it could have been avoided if the mine-owners and the public generally had been taken a little more into the confidence of the Government. Mr. Smillie: However much you abuse the Government.

I can swore you I will not seam, with you. (Laughter.) Mr. Smillie added that he thought the Government did the best it could under the circumstances. Later Mr. Smillie asked whether the mineowners, while they were prepared to allow the miners to advise, were not rezted to give any executive power to in the commercial or technical side of the Gainford: That is so.

The case was remitted from the First Division of the Court of Session, and now eame before Lord Mackenzie, so that on completing his inquiry his lordship might refer to that division. The petition will originally lodged by Lieutenant-colonel Earl Stanhope, of Clievening, Sevetioake, Kent; Lieutenant-colonel Sir J. B. Hope, M.l'., and Herbert J. Hope, barrister-atlaw, trudees of the late Lieutenant-colonel tleorge Evernrcl Hope, of Luffnesa, ho lost his lilt in the war.

They asked that his widow should be removed from the office of guardian of her children, a girl and boy born an 1911 and 1912 respectively, on the ground that she was unfit for that position, and they based their petition un certain allegations to which Mrs. Hope lodged an-wei-s in which she denied that she had shown her reit unfit to be the guardian of her children or that she hail been guilty of immoral conduct or addicted to the eXCOSAIiVP of alcohol. Tuesday was the day fixed for proof. series of questions to witness. ajlegiug tLat there were at one time Members of Parliament interested in coal mines, and suggesting that them members worked as bard as they could to make the Workmen's Compensation Act as had as possible.

MINERS' DRAFT BILL FEATURES OF MEASURE FOR NATIONALISATION Our London who was yesterday able to rend us very full and adequate summary of the Nationalisation Bill to be presented by the Miners Federation of tined Britain to the Coal Cootmission, has sine. been able to receive the full text of the measure.

K.C.. represented Mrs. Hope. The court was to have been opened at 10.20, hut from that hour counsel and Mra. Hope were in private consultation with the tf pos ible, of arriving at settlement.

he consultation proved to be very prolonged, but about noon it was understood a settlement was probable. The parties came into court a few minutes before one o'clock. Mr. Constable. addresaing Lord Mackenzie, apologised for having kept his lordship Fs.

long. As the result of protracted negotiations be was glad to inform the court that a settlement hadbeen arrived at. bird Mackenzie at once proceeded to the First Division. where Lord Strathclyde was presiding. Lord Mackenzie briefly reported to their lordships the proceedings which had just transpired in his own court.

The Lord President said matter of primary importance was the welfare of the two children, and he presumed counsel were satisfied as to that. Mr. l'oastuhle saii was in a position to inform their lordships that as as outcome of the negotiations the welfare of the children WAN secured. The court, he believed, would be satisfied with the terms of the minute. RIGHTS SURRENDERED.

Mr. Wilson, representing Mrs. Hope, inflrmed the court that his client was satisfied it would be in the best interests uf the children that she should not insist upon her statutory rights. Bhe was. therefore, willing, without admitting any of the allegations in the petition to waive those rights subject to being given access to the children.

The minute signed by her also provided that having surrendered the guanlianship she should be paid .0041 towards her legal expenses. The responsibility for the care'of the children would devolve on Lady Mary Hope and Lucey Georgina Hope. This had been arranged to the entire satisfaction of Mrs. Hope. The Lord President oaring conferred with his brother judges said that after hearing what had been said as to the minute agreement the court was convinced that the arrangements were in the best interests of both children.

The diet of proof was now accordingly discharged. The proceedings in both courts were very brief. There was a srse attendance of the public in Lord pa ackensie's Court, but in the First Division Court there was inonnvenient crowding. The terms of the minute other than those stated publicly by counsel were not disclosed. BA Rcurs BANK.

LIBERALS' BCRMIYM TO REDUCE TILE WAR DEBT. On the artist.KW tie aimedroadie( of the Finance Bill. Sir DONALD MACLF.AN dealing with the proposal for a evy on capital tn order to mast the present financial situation. said this was not a question of principle, but of expediency and practicability. Ile dill not want to be committed to unqualified approval of the proposal at present.

Before it could come into practical operation men of high financial repute gad wide business experieuce should be heard, and their views for and against should be carefully sifted and weighed. Mr. ACLA ND (Co. 1.., Camhorne) moved: This House declines to give second reading to a Bill which makes inadequate provision out of revenue for the expenditure of the country; which fails to deal with the war debt by means of a capital levy; which reduces the taxes payable by the recipients of business profits without lessening the burdens borne by those whose labour contributes to the creation of the profits; and which initiates a system of preferential and nrotective tariffs." With regard to the proposed levy on capital, he iMr. Arland) considered it, a fair and practical proposal.

IMPERIAL PREFERENCE. Mr. iiiAiiiiiiiiii.Z;;;;l As uith had described the preference proposals of the Budget as trumpery affair," but they were part of a larger policy. The preference was not to be confined merely to a Customs duty; it was to embody a whole policy. (Hear, hear.) The preference ipropostale as contained in the Budget had been received with approval in every Dominion of the British Crown.

Mr. CLYNES (l.ab.. Manchester. Platting) said when the Government were paying large sums to people for doing nothing the subject of a tax upon capital as an emergency measure to meet the present 'extraordinary financial situation was arousing great interest in the country. The Budget was regarded with great dissatisfaction by workers and the Govern.

mint was making a great mistake in treating so lightly the desire for adequate supplies of wholesome beer for the masses of the people. The workers would not submit to a shortage of beer after peace was actually concluded. SIR ALFRED FOND. Sir A. (Co.

He vote fur the Bill without the slightest hesitation, and without the slighted fear of soilin the purity of his Free Trade When Liberals fought the I.attle of Free Trade in past days, as far as he was concerned it was the proposal to impose duties on foodstnffs which thee considered and still considered, wonlef be harmful to the people of this eouutry and harmful to the Empire. Row anyone could contend that the reduction of duties already existing could possibly be an infringement of the principle of Free Trade passed his comprehension. It was obviously a movement towards Free Trade, and a very strong ta.tnent towards Free Trade.

(Ironical langTiter.l Hon. gentlemen seemed to be astonished at that statement. If they abolished all the duties in all the Dominions and in this country, they would have absolute Free Trade, and obviously a. reduction of duties was a movement towards Free Trade. Be had read the speech of Mr Asquith.

and it seemed to. him extraordinary that the late Prime Minister, who was responsible for the Paris which involved, not a reduc- 1 tion of duty. but a'aystem of tariffs to carry them out, should at that moment come for-i ward and jib at the preference resolution before the House. With all the great events that had happened, and the triumphant feeling which had been aroused resulting from the extraordinary rails tram all parts' of the Empire, be could hardly think it possible that the wishes at the Dominions! and Colonies should be forgotten. He should hope that it was not the police of the Liberal party to forget these considera-1 lions.

If that party refused to recognise the wonderful efforts made by the men oversas. it would be one of the greatest and gravest bi lers that meld be made and the Liberal party would be driving a nail into its own en din.

DONOGHUE'S HAT TRICK AT NEWMARKET. BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. As is usual on the first day of the second spring fixture at headqtarters, the attendance was not an exceptionally large one, but it included many notable supporters of the sport.

The two-year-old races attracted ist attention, and they introduced us to a couple of smart youngsters in Cinna, who won the Norfolk Plate with ease, and Marshal Neil, who, on the other hand, was All out to score in the Somerville Stakes. It rnmy be said for Marshal Neil that he did not strike oil too well, but I am pretty sure Cinna represents the better class, and in this splendidly bred daughter of Polymelus and Baroness La leche Sir Robert Jardine, beyond doubt, possesses an exceptionally snisrt filly. All going well with her she mar win a clissic race heat year. She is engaged in the tithe Thousand Guineas, Gals, and St. Leger.

Arica. in the Newmarket Handicap, had no difficulty in carrying the 10111. penalty he incurred by winning the Jubilee Ilandicap last Saturday, and instead of looking stale after his exertiolll in the big race he looked fresher and better than he has looked before any of his previous races this year. Arlon has all the framework of good racehorse, being built to carry weight. and 71b.

or 10Ib. extra will not atlect him. Anyway, he won the Newmarket Handicap with his penalty in a canter, and these two victories will probably make him into a totally different animal. We have seen the 'Aline thing over and over again. The chin point to bear in mind is that some horses are physically I i to carry weight, and re others a not.

Ariou is one of them. Anon only won by three parts of a length. but this does not imply that he may not have had tilb. in hand. Lord Jerrev'a horse was ridden by lkoinghae.

aud the o.anie jockey was also to the lore in the Btu well Plate on Good-night. end in the Somerville Stakes on Marshal Neil. Good-night was not so good a favourite as Cullander or Perion. but Callender had 9st. 121 b.

to carry. which proved prohibithe. and the merits of Perion are, pethaps, overrated. Perion belongs to LArd l'enrhyn. and one would murk like to see Lord Penrhyn's colour" carried by a good horse, but it is no good letting the wish be lather to the thougut.

The Somerville Stakes, which Marshal Neil won, was confined to which had been purchased at public auction as yearlings and sold by Messrs. Tattersall. and the race is named after the bead of the firm, Mr. Somerville 'Tattersall, who contributes annually .1:200 to the Stakes. Marshal Neil belongs to Lord Sefton.

and the colt won in nice style from Cueiberland and Morganatic Marriage. of whom the last-named is a half-sister to The Panther. The Norfolk Two-year-old Plate brought out Poltava. who showed such lightning speed when be mode hi. debut here at the last meeting.

but Poltava now failed to maintain that quickly-won reputation. and was beaten into third place. Clone winning from Woodrow. Cinna was running for the best time, and slie is such a welt-grown, handsome filly, and had been so highly tried, that she may prove to be a really good one. She is a daughter of Polymelus and Baroness.

la Fleche, her mother being a daughter of the peerless La who carried Baron Hirsch's colours. Sir Robert Buchanan Jardine, the owner and breeder of Cinna.purchased Baroness la Fleche for EON guineas, and he was warmly congratulated on the fact that though for some time the purchase had promised to be disappointment, there was here an exemplieation of the truism that patience It was only last week that Mr. Frank Corson paid LOOS guineas for the winner of a selling plate in the belief that the filly he bought might prove the foundation of his breeding stud. Clams was ridden by Sir Robert's old jockey, Walter William and the association of this jockey with the dark blue and silver braid was in more than one respect satisfactory, for it is impossible to get away from the fact that too many owners have shown themselves to he apt to forget the jockeys who have been in khaki, and to give all their patronage to those who have filled soft places in England. and who have been consequently able to worm themselves into the others' places.
