BEST BRAINS NEEDED. LONDON, Nov 28. Referring to tho industrialists’ letter to the' Trades Union Congress, suggesting a conference to discuss industrial relationships, Mr Ben Tillett, the veteran Labour leader, speaking at Salford, said that the best brains of the capitalists must join witli the best brains in the Labour movement in an brains in the Labour movement in an effort to save tho country’s trade. Without intelligent co-operation and conscientious efforts on all sides for respecting bargains, the present chaos in industry, slackness of trade, and army of unemployed must continue. Organic changes were essential. All uneconomic overhead charges and uneconomic exactions of finance must be ruthlessly eliminated. Capital and Labour must discuss cost prices, profits and wages, under the supervision of the State, and thus assure tho country its full productive capacity.—A. and N.Z. cable.
