LABOUR’S MISLEADERS.
WINSTON CHURCHILL’S PLAIN TALK. Received Nov. 5. 8.10 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 5. Mr. Churchill, in a speech, stated that the Labour party’s talk about direct action had deeply offended most British people. There was a growing feeling that a considerable section of organised labour was trying to bully them into submission not by argument but by brute force. Labour was thus impeding the arrival of prosperity and hampering the scientific progress of industry, and so reducing the value of the wages of the working classes. Trade ' unions must review their position during the next few years if they were going to preserve the influence which they had hitherto exercised on British industrial life. One of the deep-rooted fallacies of the Socialist the belief that the more violent P the change the better it was. From that delusion came the terrifying fear which each labour leader felt that he might be pushed out of the way by some young, ignorant irresponsible, who would go one better than the trusted leader. The fact that so many labour leaders were •hallenging the constitution was proof that the majority of their fel-low-countrymen were not on their ride.
