Miscellanea

Miscellanea

Mr. Watts: A young country must continue to develop by private enterprise.

Mr. McIntyre: With State control the Government would have its finger on the pulse of every coal mine.

Miss Taylor: The miners go slow just as much in State mines, only with Government support.

Mr. O'Brien: State control won't replace the loss of Newcastle coal. Subsidies are paid to the gas companies instead of to private owners.

Mr. Jack objected the subject debated was not the one advertised. State control would secure a sufficient supply as a political necessity, but it would not be efficient because gained regardless of expense.

Mr. O'Connor: The miner will tell you of machinery rusting in his—at the pit-head.

Mr. Ord: The miner cannot concentrate while he is brooding on the condition of his wife at home.

The judge, Mr. Taylor, advised speakers to consider the mental level of their audience. The speakers were placed as follows: O'Connor, Jack, Marshall, Ord, O'Brien.
