WAR PROBLEMS
o IN BRITISH INDUSTRY VOLUNTARY agreements. PARTIES SHOWING FINE SPIRIT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 14. Discussions between the Minister of Labour. Mr Ernest Brown, and representatives of employers and of labour on the organisation of industry for the prodigious effort for which war time calls are understood to have created a very favourable atmosphere. There is an infinite will to use the conciliation machinery which has been built up over the past years and enjoys the confidence of employers and workvers alike, including the services of the Ministry of Labour conciliation officers. Striking evidence of the spirit in which industry is approaching the solution of its war time problems is the fact that so many of the changes necessitated by war needs are being effected by voluntary agreements and without recourse to the regulations which were in force during the last war. In view of the absence of friction which has been experienced in the first war, times calls upon existing machinery, it seems likely that- the new joint body which has been set up will have a mainly consultative function.
