Viscount WOLMER

asked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that Mr. Henry Twist, an official of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation, has recently threatened Richard Gaskell, Joseph Hamer, Thomas Watmough, and Richard Hart, miners working at the collieries of Messrs. Cross and Tetley, Bamfurlong, with loss of their livelihood unless they resign their membership of their own trade union and join the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation; and whether he will instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to take action in the matter?

Sir RUFUS ISAACS

The answer to both questions is in the negative.
