MILITANT LABOUR.
The article contributed by Mr Philip Snowclen, the English Labour leader, to the Morning Post, is pregnant of sound advice and logical reasoning. Mr Snowden strongly deprecates the new policy that is developing among the Trades Unions of resorting to strikes and violence in place of firm but conciliatory measures. He is opposed entirely tb the militant methods advocated by Larkin, Tillett and other revolutionaries, and suggests that arbitration will be found the most effective weapon for dealing with industrial disputes. It is very much to be regretted that there are not in England a greater number oif soberminded Labourites of the Snowden class. If there were, we should, have fewer industrial upheavals, and trade and industry would be more secure. Labour has yet to learn the lesson that any-, thing that causes a, depression in trade brings immediate and terrible consequences to the workers themselves.
