A despatch from London says: - Andrew Bonar .Law, the Government spokesman, in a statement in the House of Commons, said that the Government accepted the report of the special coal commission, of Which Justice Sir John Sankey is chairman, .including its undertaking '`tq report on the question of nation- alization by May 20, and to issue interim reports from time to time on the problem of improvements in the coal industry. Porposals of this nature would be Put into immediate operation de- clared Mr. Bonar Law. This involved the continuance of coal control for two years. %With reference to the Sankey re- port, `which, hie explained, was sign- ed by three representatives of the employers not directly concerned in it f ets of the VVOriti the coal industry and ganted the miners two-thirds of their demands in wages. Mr. Bonar ;Law said that the signors of the report recommended a further reduction in hours in 1921, because by then the output of 1913, namely 287,000,000 tons, will be re- sumed. The estimated cost of what was recommended was for the 't'ear- rent year, £43,000,000. It was proposed that the profits of the coalmasters should be limited to fourteen pence per toil. Taking all things into consideration,, the esti- mated cost to the taxpayers would be nearly £30,000,000. Mr. Bonar Law also announced that the employers had made what. he himself and the Labor Minister considered reasonable proposals to the transport workers, and be had reason to believe that these would prove acceptable to the men. 13read5tuff5.
