London, November IS. Mil BALVOUR, speaking at Rochdale, said the Government programme oc cupicd the whole tield of moderate and rational reform.

Aid to voluntary schools would form the subject of a separate Bill.

White Ridley promised a trade deputation to legislate on the question of employers' liability assuring workmen protection for life and limb, and to simplify the Factory Acts.
