T.U.C. AND CONTROL
(Rec. 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 25. “It looked a few weeks ago that the war against Germany would come to a sudden termination, but I think the probabilities are that it will take a considerable time,” said the T.U.C. Secretary, Sir Walter Citrine, in a speech. . . , “The transition period alter the termination of the war against Germany, and before we get back to normality, may last several years.” He said the attitude of the T.U.C. to the present labour troubles was that during the period of the war against Japan the system of compulsory arbitration should be maintained, and that after that period they expected a system of voluntary arbitration which, although without the sanction of the State, would nevertheless be effective. The T.U.C. after the war was determined to get greater leisure and the 40-hour week as the maximum.
