INDUSTRY AND WAR
UNITED ATTACK ON PROBLEMS GENERAL CO-OPERATION REPORTED (British Official Wireless) (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) RUGBY, Oct. 14. (Received Oct. 15, at 8 p.m.) The discussions between the Minister of Labour, Mr Ernest Brown, and representatives of employers and labour on the organisation of industry for a prodigious effort for which the demands of wartime call, are understood to have created a very favourable atmosphere. There is an infinite will to use the conciliation machinery which has been built up over the past years and enjoys the confidence of employers and workers alike.
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 war needs are being effected by voluntary agreements, and without recourse to, the , regulations which were in force during the last war. In view of the absence of friction experienced in the first wartime calls upon existing machinery, it seems likely that a new joint body, which has been set up, will have a mainly consultative function.
