NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA
MR. BALDWIN’S OPTIMISM
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyjjight.)
LONDON, October 11
Mr. Baldwin made an optimistic reference to a. new era in the British industry in an address to the Sheffield cutlers. The fact that the trade unions were purging the Labour movement of seditious elements, and the successful progress of the Industrial Peace Conference, he said, indicated the dawn of a new and unprecedented era of co-operation. It was being recognised that no Government alone could bring frosperity to industry. It was a fallacy to think that a depressed industry can be saved by cutting down selling organisations and advertising. Mr. Baldwin hoped there soon would be some qualifying test for directors. A modern employer neglecting his work people was guilty of a crime against the community, because he was fostering the very spirit of discontent, which inevitably would lead to unrest. A small minority of such employers could breed an atmosphere of suspicion throughout the whole country.
