INDUSTRIAL PEACE
AN URGENT MAHER EVILS or STRIFE. CHURCHES' UNITED APPEAL. <Y CABLE PaESB ASSOCIATION—COPYBIuHI Received 10.55 a.in. to-day. BRISBANE, March 17. Following a. conference of the heads of religious bodies, a deputation waited on the Premier, the Hon. W. McCormick, and presented a statement signed by the heads of the Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational, Baptist and Anglican churches pointing out that the churches regarded the .question of industrial peace as of special urgency and of the deepest interest to all sections of the community; that any setback to industry meant unemployment, which meant enormous economic loss to the community, suffering and hardship for the worker on whom the loss fell with particular severity. They believed that unemployment- was largely due to industrial strife, with consequent evil effects on the prosperity of the country. They therefore gave their whole-hearted support to the idea of a conference and would take up this all-important subject of industrial unrest.
