BRITISH INDUSTRIES
QUESTION OF SAFEGUARDING.: LABOUR MEMBER’S OPPOSITION. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) LONDON, December 7. (Received Dec. 7, at 9 p.m.) There is mhch comment in the lobbies om the decision by the West Riding Labour members to. oppose the safeguarding of wool manufactures, and Sir John _ Mackinder, chairman of the Imperial Economic Committee, suggests that the executives of the Labour Party and the trade union congress should examine the trade unions’ views.
The Daily Herald editorially supports the suggestion. , “To us,” it says, safeguarding is a mere gamble,' suiting the employers of certain industries and promising nothing, to the workers ..in the shape of higher wages, better conditions, or greater security. Some Labour members think differently, and the time has come to thrash out the differences. In view of the general election there must not be dubiety on the question, which the Tories will seek to make of first class importance.”—Australian Press Association.
