LABOUR UNREST.
TARIFF REFORM AS A CURE.
By Telegraph—Press Areoclation—Onryrlehl London, Juno 20. Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Unionist member for Worcestershire, speaking at Sheffield, said that the unprecedented labour unrest required tho attention of tho Government and Parliament more than tho destruction of an ancient Constitution, tho plunder of a venerable Church, and the gerry-mandering of' constituencies in the interests of a faction. Tho unrest was duo to Ministers striving by every artifice and terminological inexactitude to set class against class. Tho Budget campaign Eowed tho seeds of tho trouble, and other causes wero the increased cost of necessities of life, and the workers' legitimate desire to raiso the standard of life. This was not flchiovable by arguing that Capital was labour's enemy.
Mr. Chamberlain concluded by blaming the Government for turning a deaf ear to the offers of tho Dominions for Imperial preference, and slamming the door in the faco of their kinsmen.
