BARROW ARMS DISPUTE
SETTLED BY DECISION OF TRIBUNAL BRITISH LABOUR MINISTER’S FIRM STAND (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) RUGBY, October 1. The Minister of Labour, Mr Ernest Bevin, today issued a statement on the Barrow arms strike. Mr Bevin said the Government was determined to support constitutional methods of settling industrial questions and the success of these methods depended on trade unions maintaining their authority. The strikers’ contention is that, under certain war conditions, some unskilled or half-skilled workers receive more than expert craftsmen. Mr Bevin said the dispute was now settled and the decision of the tribunal was final and binding. The workers who were striking were overruling their trade union and they were therefore slowing up the war effort and endangering the lives of Britain’s fighting men. The only honourable course for them was to accept the tribunal’s decision and return to work.
