§ the Government has seen fit to introduce this provision, because that knowledge is so important in mining. Without being a prophet or a son of a prophet, I can see many coal mine explosions with heavy loss of life as a result of bringing in these paper-educated men. In coal mining one must have personal knowledge of what is meant by running a coal mine. One cannot get that at a university, no matter how much a man may know of pressure of air, and of gas in every form in which it may be found. When it comes to the practical side, one must know the conditions that apply in the actual getting of coal, and especially of the human relation, in which practical experience can alone assist one. This Bill, instead of being a reorganisation of the industry, cannot claim to be any reorganisation at all. There is nothing in the Bill that calls upon anyone to do anything. It is simply a permissive Bill and it makes one sad to think that to-day, when the whole of our wealth and the foundation of our industry is in such a state, all that the brains of this majority of 200 can produce is something that resembles an invitation to a dance.
