LABOUR AND THE WAR.
VICTORY DEPENDS ON LABOUR
LONDON, Sunday. Mr Lloyd Georgo addressed 3000 trade union leaders in Glasgow on Christmas morning. At the outset there was a good deal of interruption and singing of "The Bed Flag" by Syndicalists and a small section apparently oj>posed to the war. Tho inter-
rupters were distinctly in tho minority. Tho meeting generally was goodhumoured. Mr Lloyd George explained his proposals as the only means of getting 80,----000 skilled workers for tho State-own-ed State-erected, State-controlled and Stato-equippod munition factories now being established throughout the Kingdom. Ho must take tho skilled men from those occtxpations where unskilled men and women could be used after a fortnight's training. Upon tho trade union's acceptance of the proposals depended not only victory but the saving of numberless lives. Ho could not re* port to Parliament that British workmen liad refused to suspend their rules.
