§ Major WARINGasked the President of the Board of Trade, whether miners are entitled to a 7s. advance in wages on account of the increase of the average selling price of coal, which has been stated to be 52s. 6d.; and, if so, when may the miners expect to receive such an advance.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am not aware of any arrangement operative at present in the coal mining industry by which miners' wages automatically vary with variations in the average selling price of coal.
