MR GARVIN’S APPEAL. , . LONDON, April 10. ** Air Garvin, in an outspoken three column article in the “ Observer,” appeals to Air Raldwin not to proceed with the Trades Union Rill, which sweeps far beyond what is necessary or wise. It has united against tlie Government both oppositions, who represent a large majority of the people. Air Garvin describes the bill as a muddled miscellany, which destroys the .spirit of industrial peace, jeopardises a full trade revival and ho makes a grave appeal to Air Raldwin to refer the vast and difficult question of reform of trade union law to a Royal commission. Otherwise nothing can save the Government from tho electoral wrath to come.
