In others the rate of relief for a whole family was 5/ per week. She sai that these conditions were insisted upon by Mr. Chamberlain as 2 conche tion of granting approval for necessary loans, It is an unhappy fact that all these charges are true and that this Minister has gone out of his way to fight the coal-owners' battle by} doing everything he is able to do in starving the miners back into the pits. The contempt and hatred fel towards him by Labour is shared t3 some extent by the rest of the community for a different reason. Mr. Chamberlain represents by a narrow majority a Birmingham constituency a considerable industrial population. A few months ago he informed his constituents that he would not contest the seat again but had accepted a safe seat in anoth part of the town.

The resolution was} carried unanimously.
