BRITISH LABOR ROW IN SIGHT

Split Seen in Alliance of Miners, Rail and Transport Men. London, Nov. 28.—A big split in the labor triple alliance of miners, failway men and transport men is threatened at a joint meeting of the executives in London. The trouble is an aftermath of the railway strike when the railroaders went out without notice to the allies, who are now dissatisfied with their negotiations with the government for a joint control similar to the Plumb plan on the ground that It cuts the ground from under the nationalization policy to which the miners are committed. It also Is a personal Issue between J. H. Thomas, the railway leader, who is regarded as a conservative, and Robert Smillie of the miners, who is a radical. The result may commit the most powerful English labor combination, if not to a split, to either a constitutional or radical policy. \
