WHITLEY COUNCILS
AH) TO INDUSTRIAL CONCORD
(Sydney Sun Cuble.)
LONDON, 16th Juno. Speaking in the House of Lords, Viscount Burnham strongly appealed to the Government to give a decided lead to industrialists in favour of tho extension of the Whitley Industrial Councils. It was very significant that the trades in which the most bitter and most prolonged disputes existed were without the Whitley machinery, which maintained harmony in fifty-six industries. ■■■■■".
Viscount Cecil said the Government recognised that the councils were v very successful agency for improving the industrial relations. No system of co-operation succeeded without willingness on.the part of both sides. To attempt to enforce co-operation, legislatively would be more, harmful than good. ..-.■■
Lord Arnold said Labour would not accept Sir Arthur SteeLMaitland's conciliation committee, which was a mockery in view of the Trades Disputes Bill. , ■
The debate was adjourned.
