Organising Industry For Prodigious Effort
FINE SPIRIT BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND LABOUR (British Official Wireless.) Received Sunday, 9.20 p.m., RUGBY, Oct. 14. Discussions between tho Minister of Labour and representatives of employers and labour on the organisation of industry for tho prodigious effort lor which the demands of Wartime call are understood to have created a very favourable atmosphere. There is a line will to use the conciliation machinery which has been built up over past years and enjoys the confidence of employers and workers alike, including Hie services ot the Ministry of Labour and the conciliation officers. Striking evidence of the spirit in which industry is approaching a -solution of its wartime problems is the fact, that so many of the changes necessitated by the war needs are being effected by voluntary agreement and without recourse to tho regulations which were in force in the last war. In view of the absence of the friction which had been experienced in the first wartime calls upon the existing machinery it seems likely that the new joint body which has been set up will have mainly a consultative function. k
