FOLLY OF STRIKES.
MR. J. H. THOMAS' ADVICE. WORKERS MTJST SETTLE DOWN. LONDON, July 4. Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P., speaking at the annual conference of the National Union of Railwaymen, urged railwaymcn to grasp the lesson of the coal strike. Rumours were prevalent, said Mr. Thomas, that railwaymen must prepare for another strike, but the real lesson for them and all others was that they roust settle down. The peace of the country and the workers demanded that. A trades union policy that checked the source of credit was a mistake. It was mistakenly explained that industrial strife was the first step to realisation of an industrial commonwealth, but those countenancing this would find no inheritance worth inheriting. He saw no warrant for the belief that another crisis would follow decontrol of the railways in August.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
