CLASS HATRED.
MR J. H. THOMAS' APPEAL. "STOP IT." (By a Correspondent.) LONDON, November 6. Mr J. H. Thomas, speaking at the Cutlers' Feast at Sheffield last night, said that as Democrats his party must accept the verdict at the general election as the will of the people. He said that because he already observed a tendency to talk about an alternative method, direct action. He believed that—not in consequence of but in spite of any change in Government —there was a possibility of an improvement in the trade of this country, but one thing that would make that impossible would be a recurrence of industrial disputes. There was going to be- no peace in industry until there was more confidence between employer and employed. Mr Thomas continued: "Don't keep up this damnable talk of class warfare. Let us stop all this bitter class hatred. In this the last speech I shall deliver, temporarily, as a Minister of the Crown, I am proud of having occupied the office. I have done my best. God-speed to my successor."
