BELIEF OF UNEMPLOYED
XIUJXI.jUX UX Ui-1 JJILLX -UV/ JL XJX/ DOLES SYSTEM CONDEMNED. BENEFICIAL WORK URGED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association(K<!cd. 11.15 pm.) LONDON, Aug. 19. The conference of the Federation of General Workers carried a resolution expressing dissatisfaction that the Government had failed to relieve the industrial depre&Rion and unemployment, and condemning the adoption of the doles system instead of providing remunerative and beneficial work. j Mr. Ben. Tillett, M.P., said he would like to indue© the world's workers to "down tools." Until the financiers arranged their differences and stabilised the exchanges, there was no chance of the cost of living falling. War in a viler form than the Great War was imminent— not necessarily an open war, but. war by paralysis. Mr. J. R. Clynes, Leader of the Labour Party in the House of Commons, expressed the opinion that no international strike or industrial violence of any kind, would solve the problem, which must not be approached from a class or party standpoint.
