The Report goes on to point out that this "

slogan " meant the immediate throwing out of work of some 300,000 miners and that such a solution "appears too awful for any trade union leaders to contemplate."

The miners are accused of bringing about" the temporary smashing of trade unionism," and the victimization of thousands of men who had tried to help them with the final result that the miners themselves are now likely to get worse terms than the T.U.C. could have obtained for them at the beginning. All this is a terrible indictment. And the worst of it is that it is true. Mr. Cook behaves like one mentally unhinged ; the fine and famous loyalty of the miners is abused, and the interests of every man and woman and child in the country are sacrificed by this Mad Mullah of the mines.
