COMPULSORY SERVICE LABOUR COMING ROUND
RECRUITING CAMPAIGN TO BE RECOGNISED. (Received October 1, 3 p.m.) LONDON, 30th September. The Press Bureau states: Mr. Arthur Henderson has announced that having heard Lord Kitchener's and Mr. Asquith's statements of the military position on Tuesday to the Joint Labour Conference with the Parliamentary Labour Party, he to-day declined to believe that recruits for the Army and Navy and the war factories can be obtained by voluntary methods. The conference has pledged itself to assist the Government, and decided to organise a special labour recruiting campaign throughout the United Kingdom. The conference suggested .that recruiting would be more successful if the Government would announce the results achieved, the future needs, and also to insist on employers not preventing workers enlisting.
