TRADES UNION BILL.
A HOSPITAL CLAUSE. SHOULD BE INTRODUCED AS A NEW BILL. (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Australian Press Association & Sun.; (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, June 14.
In the Commons Sir L. Scott, in committee, on the Trade Union Bill, proposed a new clause making illegal any strike or lockout in an essential industry prior to, or during reference of the dispute to a conciliation tribunal. This he said was an attempt at something constructive in the direction of the settlement of disputes. The Rt. Hon. J. R. Clynes said if the Government wanted industrial harmony it would have to proceed on the lines of the new clause instead of the introduction of a Bill which had gone far to crush the spirit of conciliation. Mr Lloyd George agreed that it was unfortunate to link safe conciliation proposals with such a provocative Bill. If the Government introduced a Bill along the lines of Mr Scott’s proposal it would be worth tons of Trade Union Bill.
