BRITAIN’S INDUSTRIES.
HIGH PRODUCTIVE COSTS.
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
8Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOC 7 \TION—COPYRIGHT. deceived July 27, 12.30 p.m. LONDON, July 26. Speaking at Knowsley Park, the Prime Minister,; Mr Stanley Baldwin, said that the chief factor checking the growth of Britain’s overseas trade was the great increase in the productive and distributive costs. We were threatened with a conflict between the coal owners and miners, both with very strong cases, but all the time the financial position of the industry was becoming worse. These conflicts must be lifted on to a new plane by both masters and men. He hoped that negotiations, which were about to be resumed, would result in carrying th© harassed industry over a year or two till it became easier to negotiate for a permanent settlement. —Renter.
