250,000 SHELLS BEING MADE DAILY THERE MUST BE NO LOCK-OUTS OR STRIKES ■' SLACKNESS MUST BE STOPPED. (Received June 24, 3 p.m.) ' t LONDON, 23rd June. In his speech in introducing the Munitions Bill, Mr. Lloyd George said that the central powers were producing 250,000 shells daily. , He emphasised the necessity of largely increasing the output of coal. The first step must be to secure tho necessary skilled labour and fill up the workshops where there , was plenty of machiniery. The workshops should put forth t'leir best efforts, and any trade union restriction having a delaying effect should be suspended. 1 here must be a stoppage of slackness, no strikes and_ lock-outs during tho war. Those responsible for output of i munitions had assented to compulsory arbitration and had arrived at a substantial agreement, which he had embodied in the Bill. He wished ho could get miners and cotton operatives to assent similarly.
