THE LABOUR PROBLEM.
MANIFESTO BY LARK IN. MR LLOYD GEORGE HAS A MIXED RECEPTION. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, Nov. 22. Lark in, the Labour leader, in a manifesto, • invites English Trades Unions to compel the leaders to terminate the warfare in Dublin. He declares that the leaders' action, through the Trades Unionists, is intended to siolve some of the poverty and ill-aisage caused by long hours and low wages. It is, says the manifesto, the root of the remedy that is wanted, and not Industrial Commissioners, Conciliation Boards, or Cabinets to chloroform the workers and persuade them to remain as dumb, driven flogs. The Right. Hon. D. Lloyd George, who was attending an Oxford Union debate, was greeted, on his arrival with a shower of turnips, which smashed tlie wondow of his imotor-car. The thrower of the turnips was arrested. Many members of the unions tioned the Chancellor's speech dealing with the land problem. A resolution condemning the Government's land proposals was rejected by 654 votes to 586. The reault is considered a personal triumph for Mr Lloyd George.
