“INDUSTRIAL SUNDAY”

TO BE OBSERVED IN BRITAIN .APPEAL FOR CO-OPERA-TION By Telegraph.—press association. Copyright. London, January 11. Appeals' for industrial co-operation, signed by directors, employers, Labour leaders, and trade unionists, have been issued through the Industrial Fellowship in connection with the observance of an “Industrial Sunday” on April 29, but as the Bishop of Canterbury points out in a separate message, are specially appropriate in view of to-morrow’s employers’ and employees’ conference. “Hay God guide the deliberations to a wise conclusion and give His blessing to the observance of the Sunday,” writes the Archbishop. The employers’ appeal says that there can be no real peace in industry or the progress essential to prosperity possible, except along the lines of Christian fellowship. The employers’ appeal signatories include Sir Arthur Balfour, Lord Cecil, Viscount Chelwood, Sir Robert Hadfield, Mr. W. I. E. Morris, Sir Peter Rylands, Sir Josiah Stamp, and Sir Edwin Stockton, and the employees, Miss Margaret Bondfield, Mr. J. P. Clynes, Mr. Arthur Henderson. Mr. Will Thorne, Mr. Stephen Walsh, Mr. P. Snowden, Mr. J. R. MacDonald, Mr. Sidney Webb, and several Trades Union Congress members, and the general secretary of trade unions.
