The South Wales Miners' Federation, which has passed under the
centred of the wilder -spirits, revolted -against the National . Federation on Monday and declared for separation. These hotheads do not want the rich profits on the South Wales export trade to be used for meeting the losses on the Other coalfields producing for home consumption. Their idea is that the profits made in South Wales should go to the miners in South Wales, in the -form of an additional wage of £2 a week. Mr.'Brace, Who presided at their Conference, told them -that the industry mild not meet such a demand. 'The- simple truth is that - neither miners nor. any other claw of workers can get more money out • of an industry than there is in it." Mr. Brace was overruled, • but he was right. The South Wales extremists have made the " nationalization " campaign look very foolish.
