The Duke of Northumberland, never failing in courage or in

his sense of what he believes to be his public duty, wrote a letter to the Morning Post of Thursday repeating his charges against the Executive of the Miners' Federation. He says once more, and says it, of course, without any of the protection of a privileged position, that the Miners' Federation " deliberately fomented revolution " during the war, and that in spite of his repeated charges in public they have never tried to clear their character. He says that it is " a fair inference " that people who utilized the war in such a way are now utilizing the economic situation for the same purpose. He declares that if his charge is true the Labour Party is aiding and abetting a treasonable conspiracy.
