CARLTON CLUB SURPRISED
MR BALDWIN PLEADS FbR BETTERMENT OF WORKERS. MINERS’ SACRIFICES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian and N.Z Cable Association LONDON, March 20. Mr Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader, speaking at a Carlton Club luncheon, surprised members by his references to unemployment . There would be no peace and prosperity in Britain, he said, until they had the masses working and earning good wages and living under better conditions. Whatever profits middlemen, banking, and railway companies might make, unless there was work for the people and their conditions imprqved, the whole edifice would crumble and fall. Mr Baldwin said he had noticed that, though company chairmen referred to these matters, companies’ dividends never seemed to be reduced. The miners should not be regarded as disgruntled men, always ready -to strike. They had made great sacrifices for the country, and gone through a critical two years most courageously. The Conservatives ought to study the economic aspects of unemployment.
