INDUSTRY IN BRITAIN
BIG SPEEDING UP MOVE REGISTRATION OF WORKERS NO WASTE OR INJUSTICE (Official Wireless) (Received August 17, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 10 Sir Wilfred Beveridge explained in a broadcast speech tonight the importance of the industrial registration order issued by the Minister of Labour last week, requiring compulsory registration of certain classes of skilled workers, mainly in engineering. Sir Wilfred said the order did not stand alone. It was part of a general plan to ensure that all the brains and muscles of the nation were used in the right way, so that there was no waste and injustice. The order was 'not directly . concerned with using the energies of people now idle or unoccupied or ill occupied, as it dealt only with men of rare skill. Indirectly the order was one of the things most needed to allow all men and women, skilled and unskilled, old and young, to swing into line behind the national effort. Skilled men starting work made a demand for the rest.
