LABOUR UNREST.
MR BONAR LAW'S VIEWS
(Received November 23rd, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 22. Mr Bonar Law, speaking at Birmingham, referred to tho question of Labour unrest. Tho real problem of statemanship, he said, was to get a fairer distribution of wealth without drying the sources of wealth. , The trades unions had helped t*no workers to get increased wages, though not in the last decade. The more tho unions were devoted to politics and becoming the mouthpiece of a single party, the less was their influence upon the country. He believed a change in the fiscal system would tend to raise wages.
