HANDLING OF STRIKE
Minister Warns Offenders LONDON, October 1. Referring today to a strike by arms workers at Barrow in Furness, the Min-v ister of Labour, Mr. Bevin, said that the?? Government was determined to support constitutional methods of settling Indus-' trial questions, and that the success of these methods depended on the tride unions maintaining their authority. The strikers’ contention is that under certain war conditions some unskilled or half-skilled workers receive more than expert craftsmen. Mr. Bevin said that the dispute was now settled and the decision of the tribunal was final and binding. The workers who were striking were overruling their trade union. They were therefore slowing up the war effort and endangering the lives of British fighting men. The only honourable course for them to follow was to accept the decision of the tribunal and return to work.
