INDUSTRY IN BRITAIN

APPEAL BY MR BALDWIN. NEW SPIRIT OF CO-OPEEA-TION. Prato Am*oci«tioD~Bv Telegraph Copyright. LONDON, Juno 1 (Received June 2, at 5.5 p.m.) An audience of 50,000 persons listened to a speech by Mr Baldwin m a \ ictory Rallv at Welhack Abbey. The Prime Minister appealed for an all-round increase of 10 per cent, in industrial efficiency and announced fus - tention to appoint a permanent Ino _ Council to carry out th'e recommendations of the recent commission. He expressed indifference towards his critics, who complained that he had in sufficiently denounced his opponents, fie declared that ho had no intention of wasting time denouncing a movement UKo Socialism, but was going to attack e evils which produced such movements. He pointed out that his appeals for an industrial truce had resulted in men on both sides sitting down together and facing realities as they never had done before. Mr Baldwin concluded by inviting employers to scrap cld methods and seek to encourage a more intimate relationship with the workers; to seek new brains and new ideas wherever they existed; and to take the employees more into consultation regarding the routine of management.—Reuter.
