By Telegraph—Press Association—ConvxtsM ; London, October 5. ' Lord Derby, at Lord Kitchener's re- " ] quest, has undertaken the direction of the Army recruiting. • >! ■ A SOCIALIST MANIFESTO. ' i RIGHT TO STRIKE A TWO-EDGED SWORD. ; , (Rec. October G, 9.30 p.m.) \" ; . . . London, October 6. A Socialist manifesto in support of recruiting says: "The right to strike is a priceless weapon in the hands of • Labour, but it has its limitations. To strike now woidd .be a blow levelled at I our brothers in the trenches. The corollary to that-would be a strike by the, soldiers themselves, and then, God help the civilians 1" \ ' (Rec. October 6, S:4O ji.m.)
- London, October 5. Lord Derby, speaking at a recruiting meeting at Rosselidale, said that he had accepted tho directorship of the Recruiting Department bec'aue'o of his personal 1 loyalty and friendship for Lord ' Kitchener. Personally he advocated national service, but would do his best to make tho voluntary system a success. The action of tlio Trade Union Congress would have tho effeot of putting .every man on his mettle to prove that the voluntary syfetem was an adequato one. If, ultimately, he considered that the rechiiting-.campaign'had -hot been sue- , ce£sful, he would Hot hesitate to resign,, unless other, methods were adopted. -
