Mr. Roâ€" bertson was quoted as saying that the ~trike was caused by the refusal of the mines to deal with the men. This atâ€" tituds, he thought, resulted from a preâ€" judice against the Western Federation of Miners. This prejudice at one time was fully justified, he considered, but the Minerg‘ Union of 1919 should not be classed with its predecessors of ten vears previous in his estimation. The men had agreed to Government proâ€" posals for a conference and discussion, but the mines declined the suggestion. The meh urged the Government to take over the Cobalt mines and conduct them, the profits to be. applied to the payment of Canada‘s war debt. The Government could not see the matter in such a light, and the proposal for Government ownership was not carried ine taX rat 7 _mills fo ‘ates, with 1 ind 20 mills Axes not ps i@ave a pena Ten vears G.
