Solidarity, which is the official organ of the Shop tewards'
and Workers' Committees, bitterly attacked Mr. J. H. Thomas, Mr. Bevin, and Mr. Robert Williams. Of Mr. Thomas it said : " He has by wile and wangle attempted to betray the miners at every turn. He has played the trickster in collusion with Robert Williams and Ernest Bevin. ' He cried' when he announced the decision, said an evening paper last Wednesday. He will whine like a cur as the struggle increases. He will twist and turn, watch him—out him." The Communist, which is the British organ of the Third, or Moscow, International, compared Mr. J. H. Thomas with Judas Iscariot and published a hideous parody of Leonardo's "Last Supper," with Mr. Thomas in the r6le of Judas, saying, " Master, is it I Y " " Thomas," says the Communist, "must be driven out. But we will not end Thomasism merely by casting out Thomas. There are a thousand ready to take his place. The heart of the whole movement is being eaten out by these men." Mr. Thomas, it is announced, is bringing an action for libel against this paper.
