LABOR CRISIS OVER. •THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, October $. At the Trade ConHerenca, held at Atlantic City, Sir James Simpson, director of the Batik of Liverpool, in a speech, said that they had not come to ask help from any organisation, they asked only that no obstruction be placed in the way of normal business transactions. No Government in England would stand which contemplated for a moment any weakening in regard to the payment of our debts. The crisis in the Labor situation had passed; the laboring classes were tired of strikes and the employers were realising that the worker must have larger remuneration and a greater share in the management. The producing power of the national industries was approximately the same as in pre-war days.— Aus.-N.Z. Co-ble Assn.
