BEACONS OF HOPE
IN BRITISH INDUSTRY
Fewer Disputes, Mutual
Confidence.
BANKER'S REVIEW.
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 5.
At the annual meeting of Lloyds' Bank, Sir Austin Harris, who presided, endorsed the opinions which have been expressed by the chairmen of other big London banks regarding ti'ade prospects.
Sir Austin said: "Features of a very gratifying nature stand out as beacons of encouragement and hope.
"One is the marked decrease in the number of unemployed and another is the comparative freedom during the past year from serious labour disputes and strikes.
"I think it is becoming reco-iiUod that a greater feeling of mutual confidence is growing between the employers and the employed, to the great advantage and benefit of both.
"A very encouraging spirit of conciliation and good will on the part of some of the prominent leaders of the trades unions has been evidenced by their speeches, and it discloses a desire on the part of responsible men to do everything possible to avoid the disastrous recourse to the strike."'
