INDUSTRIAL TURMOIL
SPEECH BY MR LLOYD GEORGE. LONDON, July 18. Mr Lloyd George, speaking at the bankers’ dinner at the Mansion House said : “ The climax of the trade boom was reached in 1913. We are now entering a quieter period. Nevertheless, the trade depressions are getting shallower and shorter.” Referring to the imminent menace of industrial trouble arising from problems connected with the reorganisation of conciliation boards, he said that an unparalleled combination of 2g millions of transport workers and miners had uttered a' solemn warning. The prospect of an equitable settlement of these disputes was darkened by the situation in Ireland. He remarked that in the event of civil strife in Ireland when an industrial trouble in Britain vras maturing, the situation would be the gravest that any Government had had to deal with for centuries. That was 'why responsible men of all parties should strive, and were striving, for reasonable accommodation, and why all having the country’s wellbeing at heart should hope that such efforts would be crdwned with success.
